So what if the others won't share: I have chocolate, dark chocolate---"Tarte au chocolat, poire et cannelle"---and it's mine, all mine. Bwah, ha, ha.

"To select the chocolate, we tasted different varieties from different manufacturers. Nowadays, chocolate is made in huge factories. If you want to make something more personal, you need to take different chocolates, taste them, and mix them yourself. You’ll find your own mix, to your own taste. In the _marquis au chocolat_ there are five different chocolates. There are four in the _moelleux_."
