Don't tempt the moose: they're available in tubs over here.

Chris. (As well as the "Fruits de Mer" boxes.)

They are also available in re-sealable bags, as I found out yesterday,
though what the point of having a re-sealable bag of choccies is I do not
know.

Aha! Isambard has the solution: steam-powered self-mobile truffles. You
are guaranteed to expend more energy catching each one than you would
get from eating it...

Only the steam pipes. Even then, toroidal vortex containment will take
care of the majority of the problem; the rest can be dealt with by means
of high-density industrial chocolate.

Wings, dear lady...

But a point is clearly made: more research is needed.

You wish.[1]

Not even Hershey's (which has an actual *wax* content to stop it
melting in Forn Parts) will stand for that treatment.

I won't have the stuff in the place. Try over in *lt,f*n.pr*tch*tt
and ask the fair[2] Ookey's moose[3] instead.

Cadbury.
[1] Ten of those cakes with the toasted nut tops.
[2] Well, all right, reddish then.

Isambard would not even countenance the output of H*rsh*y in a proper
self-mobile truffle. The vortices will simply have to be made to spin
faster, thus keeping the walls of the pipes well below breakdown
temperature. This will surely be no harder a problem than the power
plant for the ironclad duck.

I should point out at this juncture that the WW2 "Kugelpanzer"
was not, in fact, made out of chocolate; attempts to build a
steam-propelled version of it are, I fear, unlikely to meet
with success.

HTH,

Chris. (Why would anyone _want_ a "Truffle Tank", anyway? An
armed guard on the delivery van should be more than adequate.)
