World

As World Chocolate Day arrives each year, people get ready to celebrate with the sweet stuff. But those who like their food savoury can still indulge in chocolate today, as adventurous cooks have proved by adding it to a variety of delicious and sometimes savoury meals.

 

Chocolate pasta

 

 

Not an Italian classic, no, but who needs conventions anyway? 

 

Chocolate soup

You’re probably still trying to get your head around the fact that some mavericks eat soup cold sometimes, but sometimes people even put chocolate in it.

 

Chocolate ribs

Meat goes with chocolate. Nigella Lawson told us this once and we have never doubted her wisdom. 

 

Chocolate chilli

 

 

A hearty bowl of thick, sticky goop. What could be better?

 

Chocolate stew

 

 

Let’s slather more meat in the sweet, brown, good stuff. 

 

Chocolate enchiladas

Do you like choc enchiladas? And getting caught in the rain?

 

Chocolate fries

 

 

The internet lost the plot at the announcement that McDonald’s in Japan was launching fries drenched in chocolate sauce.
