choc-o-block seems to have quite a few spelling variations. Does anyone know which is the more widely recognized variation?

Just a few I came across;

chocoblock
choc-o-block
chock-o-block
choc'o block


Thank you.

Dunno, but I think I'd probably use an a rather that an o: chockablock, chock-a-block, etc.

See OneLook.

Ugh! That's what I was doing wrong. Thanks Arnie

So what the heck is a chockablock? It sounds tasty.

Jerry,
Does that mean they are pregnant or just chock full of something?

Isn't a chocablocaholic someone addicted to large pieces of cacao?

Mmmm! It could be me.

I have a theory that women want to eat chocolate even when they're not hungry in much the same way as men want to drink beer when they're not thirsty.

OK, Richard, let's douse ourselves in chocolate and test your theory!

actually, Richard, I've found that beer and chocolate complement each other quite nicely.

Young's Chocolate Stout is a fine brew.

Young stout chocolate brew? Sounds inviting ...as long as it tastes of dark chocolate and molasses and not creamy milk chocolate. The stout label makes it sound dark and rich. Is it available in the states? I am more a chocolate person than a beer person, in keeping with Richard's theory. But, I am not adverse to combining the two.

Young's (or rather, Wells and Young's now, as they have merged with Charles Wells and moved to Bedford) do export their beers to the USA so you should be able to order it from your local supplier. Details of the beer here http://www.wellsandyoungs.co.uk/wellsandyoungs/beers/al...ngs-double-chocolate

It looks richly dark with a nice touch of malt! Thank you for sending this.

I am sure. if you don't manage to track it down before then, that we'll be able to sort out a bottle for you to sample at Wordcraft 2008!

Oh, yes, I know of 2 places in town where I've seen this available! Yum!

Wonderful.

I am ready for a robust sample!

You are joining us, correct, elledee? For which days? I have some reservations being held at the hotel.

I very much hope so. Columbus, correct? What dates did we settle on? (I am still a bit clumsy with navigating this site - sorry
