I've glanced at a previous posting from earlier in the week about on-line chocolate vendors but want to see if anyone can point me to a source that either specializes in or carries a good selection of the drinking kind. Alternatively, I'd like any suggestions of particular makers I can research. So far, L' ANCIENNE DRINKING CHOCOLATE seems to be quite good. In addition (yes, I know this part of my question is off topic) where can I find a good selection of chocolate pots? Many thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Your wife would probably love those! Link: http://www.chocosphere.com Sun Jan 23 21:09:59 -0800 2005 1661989 0 Mariko 1 1662003 LA Burdick's hot chocolate has won all kinds of recognition. Note also the Chocolate Fondue Set.

I had seen mention of some one (probably in NY) who had been ordering mailorder for the last 30 years from London and only recently found one outlet in the US from where he was able to source it directly, however unfortunately I cannot guide you to that particular thread. You will have to search on CH. You mentioned DC/NoVA/MD (What is NoVA ?) Do you mean Virginia ? Wish you had told me a week ago, as my nephew went to Dulles just last week, but he has a nasty habit of coming frequently to London, so If you are unable to find it, send me an email, and shall then scratch my head a bit more.

You can order it from their website.
