Chocolate Survey

After doing cakes for a number of years (and pastry wasn’t my best section in the kitchen during college!) and the great kick from doing the favours, I’m now looking at making chocolates. But before I set out too quickly and quit my job to become elbow deep in molten chocolate, I need to do some of the research to help me along.

So, I'd be grateful if you could take the following chocolate survey and leave me some comments answering the following questions:

• How often do you eat/buy chocolate?
• Where do you buy chocolate?
• Why do you buy it from there?
• Why do you buy chocolate?
• Do you buy brand name chocolates or artisan?
• What do you look for in a brand?
• If artisan what do you look for?
• Why?
• How much do you normally spend on chocolate?
• In the current credit crunch do you still buy chocolate?
• More? Less? Same?
• Have you changed brands/chocolate buying habits?

Thanks and I'll publish the results when I get them.
