Old Jamaica, Grand Seville, and Caramac for me. Maybe Rumba too (always had an exotic palate), but my fave isn't there, which was Cadbury's Special Recipe. Delicious.
Excellent choices Mish, I too liked the oft-dismissed Caramac! Is it actually chocolate I hear the non- believers cry! Special Recipe, hmmm, what was in that?
No, although I may still have those for completeness' sake. Those were basically re-statements of aired episodes. I much preferred the original novels.
Interesting that. I was the other way around. In the pre-video era, novelisations of episodes were precious to me. Blish was brilliant at capturing the essence of an episode in remarkably few words. I loved those books and still have a set.

DeleteI generally like the chocolate bars with caramel. No Dr Who novels, but I still have a box of Star Trek novels!
ReplyDeleteMe too Baron. Are your Trek novels by James Blish?

DeleteWow, I have not seen Grande Saville in decades. I remember the lady with the fan.
ReplyDeleteYes, read the Target Doctor Who paperbacks.
What did Grand Seville taste of Paul? I forget?
