This unusual recipe helped develop the bar’s name. Toblerone is a combination of the name Tobler,for the inventors,and the word “Torrane,”which is an Italian nougat specialty of almonds and honey.<br /><br />The Toblerone triangular shape, a reminder of the peaks of the Swiss MatterHorn,placed this chocolate ahead of all others. Standing taller than chocolate bars of the time and packaged in thin, triangular tubes,this chocolate gets noticed quickly.In fact, the Tobler Company, Tobler AG,applied for a patent for the Toblerone manufacturing process in 1906; two years before the bar hit the market. This made Toblerone the first patented milk chocolate with almonds and honey. The number of peaks varies on each size bar from three to seventeen, but the triangular shape is a give-away that you’re enjoying the Toblerone quality. <br /><br />http://www.essortment.com/food/alltobleronech_ttry.htm<br /><br />Keep dry and warm Jessica,<br />as you are heading down south into cooler climates -<br /><br />hmm chocolate nougat almonds and honey..<br />Life does not get much better than this<br /><br />gustav haffner<br />( pilot/navigator )<br />www.redbaron.com.au/adventures/gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533188192654931755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-26647125757565222502009-12-06T02:11:25.985+10:002009-12-06T02:11:25.985+10:00Have you passes your longest distance ever mark by...Have you passes your longest distance ever mark by now?Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-90945285438563209162009-12-05T19:11:51.835+10:002009-12-05T19:11:51.835+10:00Hi Jesse,

Here's hoping.<br />I really love anything to do with the sea and reading your blogs I can feel the wind in my hair again, the spray on my face and the movement of the deck under my feet. I can also once again experience the effort needed to change a sail in the dark hours of morning, your prose brings it all back.<br />Keep up the good work little one, even if I don't get another comment through,just believe that you are giving an old man a reason to keep livingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-42585785030774554522009-12-03T14:12:05.431+10:002009-12-03T14:12:05.431+10:00Hi Jesse
