pinocchio hot at eurochocolate

the theme this year at the prestigious eurochocolate festival is the movies. in the spirit, the hottest selling item appears to be dark chocolate pinocchio noses. wear 'em and eat. (i wonder if these will be available as souvenirs for the new film with roberto benigni? )

but sculptors are also producing large figurines of star trek characters. does this mean the piazzas of charming perugia, which hosts the event, are now dotted with life-sized vulcans?

another popular product line appears to chocolate for the body. attendees appear to adore the chocolate soaps, lotions, and hair treatments. in fact, i wouldn't mind wearing some chocolate in my hair myself. . .

of most interest is how this page's own chocolate hero, richard donnelly, is faring in the tasting competitions. will he be lucky enough to win yet another prize there?
