Gimme a break, gimme a break - break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar….. it’s the food history and food art of the kit kat. My next episode will be followed up with a much deeper look at cacao.This episode is a bit of a departure as it’s the first time I have featured a brand. It was inspired by my dear friend Michiru and her recent gift of a pack of assorted Japanese Kit Kats and will start with original Kit Kats. From the 18th century savoury pies they share their name with, to their 100 year journey to being the most influential confectionery bar of all time. Their world domination includes Japan and the hundreds of Kit Kat varietals of gentei limited edition culture but it must also include an honest look at Nestle and “Corporate Social Responsibility”. There’s the Kit Kat portraits of old from Sir Godfrey Kneller and the “The New Kit-Cat Portraits” by Gloria and Mike of In the Long Run Designs; Kit Kat origami; a Kit Kat Coffee Table by design house den-Holm; a Chocnology exhibition and more.
