Chocolate Eclairs ( the art to eating one) - Chatter

Coffee · 04-02-2005, 18:34

These are abolutely delicious but i do have a gripe....namely it's bloody difficult finding the right way to eat one!

....you can't hold it because you'll just get chocolate over your fingers, if you take a bite you just squeeze the cream out on to you, sometimes the two halves splay apart and fall to the floor.

If you've found a particular technique let me in on the secret if you please. Don't suggest using a fork or spoon that just looks crass

I peel off the chocolate and eat that,

then I eat the top half of pastry

then slurp out the cream

then eat the bottom half of pastry...

I like food in layers

I just shove it in me gob and chew on it. Anything that squirts out just gets left behind..........

what has the world come to when you start discussing how to eat a chocolate eclair...?!

Mmmm, I haven't a chocolate eclair for years. Yummy though. The difficulty of eating them is part of the fun though.

bit like eating doughnuts without licking your lips

As long as you lick your fingers afterwards you don't miss much.......

My only gripe is the pastry often tastes a bit 'cardboardy'................
