The Urban Grocer Contributor

By The Urban Grocer in New Food and Packaging on Saturday 22 January 2011

Delectable chocolate. Such is the Mayan and Nahuatl English translation of the word Ki-xocolatl. It’s also — not coincidentally, of course — the name of a stellar bean-to-bar Mexican-based chocolate collection. The result of years of partnership between a Belgian husband and wife chocolatier team, and Mexican cocoa producers hailing from Chiapas and Tabasco, Ki’xocolatl is a solid marriage of top notch Mexican ingredients and a dash of European techniques.

LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

Xavier Toby Reader Find

By Xavier Toby in New Film on Tuesday 21 September 2010

I hate this acronym, and every internet or text related abbreviation in general. They’re lazy and annoying clichés, fast food emotions meant for those who don’t really feel or think. If there were a shorter word for an expression, it’d be in the dictionary. Anyway, apart from my problems with the killing of language by a generation of the barely literate who substitute constant interaction for substance, this film focuses on such a generation and manages to be not too annoying at all.
