— Close your eyes and open your mouth.

— No way I'm doing that.

— Okay. You’ll miss it.

— What's in your hand?

— Something you've never tried before. Want to try it?

— No, thanks.

— Aren't you curious?

— I'd be lying if I said I'm not. But I still remember the last time you put something supposedly delicacy in my mouth.

— You mean the sea urchin?

— Don't even mention it. I got goosebumps.

—This is something totally different. There's no comparison. Come on, close your eyes.

— All right. There we go.

— Your mouth is still closed.

—OK, I'll open it, but I warn you: if I don't like it, I'll spit it out.

— Then I'll put on my glasses first.

— You're going to owe me one — this is a total leap of faith.

— Whatever you say, but open it already. Don't open your eyes. Okay... there we go...

— What is it? It tastes like... I have no idea!

— It's salty chocolate. I told you. It's mindblowing.

— Really?

— It's salted with "fleur de sel."

— You and your fancy frills...
