Xa ndandwendwela istudiyo sikaLaurent, into yokuqala endayibonayo yayiyikrimu kunye nebrioche yetshokolethi ishukunyiswa kumatshini wokuthambisa.Emva koko, wayigalela kwi-mold kwaye epholile, ngelixa ehlanganisa ezinye izithako: i-pistachio, i-cashew, i-sultana, ikhiwane, i-apricot eyomileyo, i-cranberry, i-papaya, i-ginger, i-cocoa nibs, i-hazelnut, kunye ne-flavour efanayo yase-East Asia njengesiqhelo -Kule imeko, zombini i-eiyokan kunye ne-uzu ziziqhamo zesitrasi zaseJapan.Emva kokuba itshokolethi iqinile, yonke enye into ifafazwe kuyo.Ukwakheka kwabo okungabonakaliyo kubonakala kumangalisa kakhulu, kufana nemizobo kaJackson Pollock.
Ngaphambi kokuba ndihambe, ndiza kuthatha i "Gerbaud Taste Test".Ndazama iqhekeza letshokolethi yesuphamakethi (ephezulu), kwaye emva koko ndazama i-12 yakhe entsha, kuquka i-grapefruit peel (enkulu), i-ginger e-candied (engaqhelekanga), i-sesame pralines (eyothusayo) kunye namakhiwane omisiweyo (uThixo) agxininise.Emva koko, ndazama intengiso yorhwebo kwakhona.Ndathi kuye, “Ngoku incasa njengekhadibhodi.”“Ngqo!”Watsho eqhwaba izandla.
Ukuphuma kwam kwindawo yokutyela, ndabona isilogeni eludongeni: “Itshokholethi iphakame kakhulu kunokuncamisa.”Abanye baqinisekile ngokwenene.
