Lusting after Bellarom

I am in a bit of a sticky wicket, as they say across the pond. You see, just like every other woman on the planet, I love chocolate. Particularly dark chocolate. Just a little square with my afternoon cup of coffee is all I need.

Here's the problem: I'm a chocolate snob. This is, of course, a result of living in Europe for an extended period of the time, where they take chocolate much more seriously than we do here. You can taste the love in it. When I lived in Dijon, France, my apartment was in walking distance of this little discount grocery story called Lidl. And Lidl carried their own brand of chocolate, called Bellarom. And Bellarom just happens to be the best chocolate I've ever put in my mouth. I've had some very fine, very expensive gourmet chocolate in my life, but that deluxe bar of Bellarom dark for a euro and a half is ranked number one on my list. I crave this stuff constantly.

Here's another problem: You can't get Bellarom chocolate anywhere but in Lidl stores, and Lidl stores are only in Europe!! I've been looking in every store and on every website imaginable for the past year, and I can't find it anywhere to purchase. I was an idiot and only brought one bar home with me (which my father consumed when I wasn't at home, unaware of the devastation he was causing), so I haven't tasted the heaven that is Bellarom chocolate since December of 2009......I. Am. In. Misery.

This is a call to action. If you are planning a trip to any of the following countries in the near future, please remember me. Please find a Lidl store, and bring me some happiness in a red box.
