mad collectors

my prize for mad collecting has to go to a real chocolate fanatic, martin mihal. this czech native's awesome site features thumbnails of his thousands upon thousands of chocolate wrappers and labels from around the globe.

some chocolate wrapper collectors are a tad more picky. for example, fabricio romero, from mexico, collects only milk chocolate wrappers. he's particularly interested in labels from eastern europe, and the middle and far east right now.

i know from my site statistics that i have readers in south africa, japan, india, and saudi arabia. if any of you are reading now, please send your chocolate wrappers to these mad collectors! it truly means a great deal to them.

doubtless they all need to meet ms. r. chandravadhana of pondicherry, india, who probably has many wrappers in her own collection that would intrigue them!

i must confess that i eat quite a bit of chocolate, and rarely keep the wrappers. i should save up a few from my next mail-order deliveries from the chocolatiers i so admire and send them on. . .

btw, if any of you, dear readers, are seeking work, english emporium fortnum & mason is seeking a new chocolate buyer. salary comes to about US$54,000, but you must be willing to travel the globe in search of quality chocolate. tasting is required.
