Important words 3

chocolate ['tʃɒklət]. Dictionary definition “a paste made of the ground seeds of Theobroma cacao, with sugar and flour or similar material”. My interpretation “the most delicious food there is, especially the Swiss version”. One very good reason to live in Switzerland – there are so many different chocolates and bars of chocolate. But also one of the most dangerous aspects of living here – there is so much temptation that I have to go running and cycling to compensate.
