There was the Queen and Crescent restaurant enjoying quite a reputation for its chocolate, every cup of which was said to be served with whipped cream on top although, in fact, no cream ever came near it - it was simply made to order and whisked up while on the fire as directed at our No. 86, but with less milk than that, and served with the appearance of whipped chocolate cream upon it. And there was, close by, the Hotel Fantastic, on Fantastic Beach, that was said never to have served a good cup of chocolate during the whole of its unprofitable existence. Such is the difference resulting from the methods of making - the latter using twice as much chocolate, making it hours too soon and spoiling it irrevocably in the detestable, bain-marie can, a miniature mud well.
