I’d never ever buy anything from Pret.

btw, hot chocolate from maison du chocolat is to die for. you will think you are in heaven…alleluia.
as for chocolate, their is extemly velvety and smooth..like a piece of heaven..yumm…but a bit pricy so i will stick with Lindt dark chocolate bar with sea salt. -
I agree that the maison hot chocolate is good…but even the semisweet one is too rich (in creaminess, not sweetness) for me to finish by myself.
Pret is still > Pax (which isn’t saying much).

If you think that squid in hot soup is a good idea, you have only yourself to blame. Hing Won does (non-soup) squid very nicely for their price point.
More importantly, does Maison frown upon sharing the hot chocolate? I went in that store once and felt shamed when I had to leave empty-handed. Luckily, the free sample, which probably had a retail value of about $2, helped the (magnified) shame go down easier.

I’m sorry, but folks who eat ‘chewy squid’ in hot soup are folks with whom I personally cannot identify.
I mean, as an American citizen (descended from the original Plimoth Plantation immigrants), my wife and I are simply not accustomed to that type of — ‘food.’
But for those who feel that this “chewy squid” is culinarily orgasmic food, I say ‘more power to you.’
I could say a few more things, but I will hold my tongue, in the spirit of ‘Political Correctness.’

why a ball of cream cheese with the salon/rice from pret..that’s scary.
