Melts in your hand (well, maybe not)

 

I found this article about a very old candy bar both interesting and amusing.

Chocolate bar given to troops during the Boer War is found untouched in a helmet case 121 years later

Basically, during the Second Boer War in South Africa (October 1889 - May 1902), the Queen of England (Victoria) gave all her soldiers a gift of a chocolate bar in a tin box with her picture on it.

So this one soldier never took a bite of his chocolate bar.  And they found it in a case with the helmet of that soldier, Sir Henry Edward Paston-Bedingfield.  And if that's not a great example of an English name, I'd have to look hard for a better one.

I guess chocolate wasn't his favorite treat, though.  Maybe he preferred Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Happy Easter!  Enjoy some chocolate!
