Anyway, tonight we watched Chocolat, so of course for our snacks we decided to have chocolate. Sundae brought some delicious dark Belgian chocolate which was oh so creamy. I had a bar of dark chocolate with orange peel in it to share. There were chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered cherries, and chocolate covered macadamia nuts (from Hawaii). And we drank our chocolate, too! No, it wasn't as simple as hot chocolate. Leslie brought chocolate wine! It was delicious and reminded most of us very much of Baileys.
We enjoyed indulging (and laughing) together, and then we enjoyed the movie.
There's plenty of chocolate left over so I'm thinking the next movie might need to be Like Water for Chocolate. And then I think we ought to continue the "match snack to movie" theme. The only obvious excellent match I've thought of so far, but which will have to wait for the summer, is Fried Green Tomatoes. So let me hear your creative suggestions - what movies go well with particular foods? (They don't necessarily have to match our other theme, which is "movies with good looking guys in them", but it wouldn't hurt if they did!)

The Julia Childs movie is a no brainer! Julie & Julia. And a quick Google gave me:
Tampopo (1985) You’ve heard of a spaghetti western? How about a Japanese noodle western? This funny and poignant Japanese story interweaves several stories all based around food. The central storyline involves a chef who wants to learn how to make the best noodles in the land, and the Clint Eastwood-like trucker/drifter who helps on the journey. Kind of like Zen and the art of noodles, this movie shows a true love of food and the people who make and enjoy it. Get the DVD and sit down with a great bowl of Ramen.
Noodles bowls are very popular in China, too!
