Did anyone attend any of last week's events in celebration of chocolate?

I had hoped to try a few myself, but did not find the time for more than one.

I managed to visit Almeida in Islington who, in conjunction with chocolatier Paul A. Young, had a Chocolate Menu on offer - 7-courses, each featuring the sweet stuff.

This is what I thought in more detail:

Almeida Chocolate Tasting Menu

Overall, it was a pleasant surprise; the cooking was good and the chocolate carefully applied, instead of just thrown onto each plate for the sake of it. There were some interesting combinations, avoiding the more obvious venision and chocolate, for example.
