So it is with food today. Instead of Love Boat chocolate, we now get mostly CSI chocolate. Dissected, analyzed, and regurgitated into something that is meant to be entertaining, but lacks any romance or real substance. Don’t even get me started on low fat, no fat yoghurt… This is true crime.

If Wagon Wheels and Golden Roughs and Mint Patties were sent to Fantasy Island for a weekend, they would find themselves again, rediscover their roots, and come back to us with Mr Roarke smiling and nodding appreciatively at their miraculous transformation.

“Ah Mr Rough, Miss Pattie, do you enjoy yourselves this weekend?”
“Oh yes, Mr Roarke, it was wonderful!”
“And what did you learn?”
“We learnt that we need to stay true to ourselves, and never compromise ourselves, or each other.”
*Golden Rough and Mint Pattie smile sweetly at each other*
“Very good. And don’t watch that CSI crap. It will rot your tastebuds. Tatu – fetch the plane!”
“OK Boss!”

*sigh*
