Reply To: Favourite food moment in The Madness of Crowds
“It was midday, and they’d all been invited back to Clara’s for a lunch of pea soup, bread warm from the oven, an assortment of Quebec cheeses, and pie from Sarah’s boulangerie. And hot chocolate, said Clara. . . .Haniya lifted the bowl with trembling hands and took her first sip of hot chocolate. And immediately understood its powers to soothe, if not heal.” Two separate incidents, but both involving hot chocolate. For me, hot chocolate is a real comfort food, definitely soothing anytime. I have found a really good pea soup, imported from Germany by Aldi which I pair with crackers, cheese and dessert.
