I had a chocolate 'cup' (like a custard) with a sprinkling of salt on top at the Murra St Café in Ottawa!. The single best desert I had in my life!. The crunch oand saltiness of salt would just explode in my mouth mixed with the creamy rich chocolate!.
I think I'll go back solely for that desert!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
