What's the matter, got your cat's tongue?

Long story short, my Brother returned temporarily from Mexico today. He was bearing, among other things, this gift for me. An authentic Mexican chocolate treat.

At first glance I assumed it was a pet treat, but my Bro assures me it is Human Food.

If you're wondering why the cat is looking kinda pissed, the clue might be in the English translation of "Lenguas de Gato". Apparently it means "Cat's Tongues".

Yummy.

Joanna but my Bro assures me it is Human Food.

Thats what he tells you....

so you eaten them yet, and has he told you the truth?

Becky Hmm... he did once tell me that broad beans were spiders eggs....

Clarissa Is April finally going to get her chocolate then?

Becky LOL, I hadn't even considered that, Clarissa.

April, enjoy! :-)

Jessica Are they chocolate coated cat's tongues? I always found cat's tongues to be a bit chewy and bitter. My cat liked them though!

Gemma Well, the blurb says they're 100% chocolate. Unless cat's tongues are a standard component of chocolate in Mexico? I'm guessing it's the shape. But what *I* want to know is: what sadist went and found this out? And why? Why on earth should this appeal to the Mexican consumer? It's baffling. And spookily like cat food packaging over here.

I just don't want to know about Jessica's cannibal cat ...

And - no advent today, Bex? Or does this count? :) The rod is beginning to leave bruises, huh? ;)

steph_angel They are SOOOOOOOOOOO pet treats...

How big are they? Are they tiny? Tiny bitsize chocolate?

Jessica In the mexican version of M&S they do much classier kitten tongues

Becky LOL, nice one Jess.

They're definitely not pet treats, Steph. The ingredients are in english on the back, and they're mostly sugar, milk and cocoa butter...

Cats can't taste sugar, they don't like sweet things. Ergo.. human food. :)

Becky "And - no advent today, Bex?"

Think you're mistaken hon. I posted the advent entry for day four earlier today! :)
