Old World Treats at Li-Lac Chocolates

haha, thank you @klg19 -- it's kind of hard to pose with chocolate in hand and not have it get melty and messy. you have no idea how much it was bothering me!

glad the update came in handy :)

Old World Treats at Li-Lac Chocolates

I'm assuming the fingernails are a reflection of melting chocolate.

And thanks for the Li-Lac update! I didn't know they'd left their Christopher St location and, the last time I was in the nabe, I thought they'd closed. Yay!

Old World Treats at Li-Lac Chocolates

"still standing amidst a particularly chic stretch of the West Village."

That's actually a fairly recent (two or three years) move up in the world for Li-Lac; they used to be on a much less chi-chi block at the west end of Christopher Street, across from the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Same excellent chocolates, though.

How to Make a Choco Taco

I just found found Klondike Choco Tacos at the grocery store. 99cents...of course I snagged one.

If you haven't guessed...I'm way too lazy to make them myself...very cool recipe though!

How to Make a Choco Taco

My daughter requested these for her birthday treat and I was so glad to find this recipe. However, I too was only able to get 6 shells from the recipe, so I had to double it. I am having trouble with the chocolate as well. Because of the 1 cup of water, it is so runny I can't top the tacos with it. I may end up with magic shell on the top or some fudge.

How to Make a Choco Taco

Those look yummy! For those of you who don't want to make your own choco tacos and can't find them in the store, go for an ice cream drumstick. All of the same ingredients, just a different shape.

Not to knock composite lamb on spit, which has it's time and place in the pantheon of delicious street foods, but in Greece, that rotating log of lamb is made from real slices of shaved, juicy, tasty meat. No ground stuff there. Best gyro in my life.

Start off with chocolate dumplings from the rickshaw truck followed by paneer tikka kati roti slathered with some raita-chili sauce from the indian cart. then cooled down with a pavlova from the dessert truck!

So much Yummy Goodness in a Truck!

Pani puri, definitely. When I was a kid, my parents forbid me from eating Indian street food... which just made it taste even better when an older cousin would take me!

My favorite streetfood is the one being served within smelling distance.
Whether it's kanom krok in Bangkok, merguez in Fez, bhang lassi in Varanasi, or arepas under the el tracks. I love it all. It's the most accessible way to understand a culture's belly.
