やっぱり美味しいものが好きを読んで絶対に作ろうと思ったのがショコラショー（ホットチョコレート）。本に載っているレシピは、著者がピエール・エルメからメールでもらったものに基づいてるというからワクワク。大好きなリンツ（レシピ通りにココア70%）とディーン&デルーカのセールで激安になっていたオランダ産のココアパウダーを使って作ってみた。

After I finished reading It Must've Been Something I Ate, I decided to make chocolat chaud (hot chocolate drink). The recipe in the book is based on a recipe the auther received from Pierre Hermé, so I was very excited. I used my favourite Lindt chocolate (70% cocoa, which was recommended by the book) and Dean & Deluca's cocoa powder from Holland, which I bought at a super sale.

作りながら砂糖の量がヤバイかも、と思いつつレシピ通りに作ったら・・・やっぱり激甘なショコラショーの出来上がり。でも砂糖の量が半分以下だったらかなり美味しかったはず。暖かい牛乳を足して飲みながら、ふと思い出した。コレって子供の頃に母に隠れて作ったメタメタに濃いミロに近い味。

As I was measuring the sugar, I realised it would become too sweet, but I obediently followed the recipe and... the chocolat chaud was super sweet! If I had used only half (or even less) of the sugar, it would been very tasty. When I added more hot milk to the chocolat chaud, I suddenly remembered a childhood memory. I secretly made very strong Milo when Mom was not in the kitchen. This chocolat chaud tasted like extra strong Milo!

ミロ！懐かしいですね。自分は隠れて舐めたことを思い出しました。去年お店でご馳走になったホットチョコレートはすごくおいしかったのを今でも思い出します。

Mmm, Milo's the best, Jun. It's the default chocolate drink in Australia and New Zealand. I didn't realise it's popular in Japan. Or is it? Maybe you were just a connoisseur as a child. Oddly enough, the Milo tins I buy in London come from Kenya. The malt taste of Milo (and the green tins) beats Nesquik any day, I say.

Here in New Zealand, they also have Milo chocolate bars. So good. I'm currently eating too many since I'm only here for 3 weeks.

hikaluさんもミロを舐めてましたか～！ワタシは乾いたミロを口に入れてムセた事があるんで、牛乳と一緒じゃないとダメでしたね。今度、辻口さんのチョコ屋に行ってみますね。

Hi Jamesu, Milo is the default chocolate drink in Japan too, but we don't have Nesquik. The other day I saw Ribena in a Japanese market for the first time. It was selling as a healthy product for young ladies.
