If you’ve looked around and checked some menus, you’d see that “Dubai chocolate” is all the rage. I saw Lindt selling it while leaving the grocery store, the bougie donut shop has a seasonal Dubai chocolate donut, and a cart opened up selling it locally too.
How has pistachio + chocolate been able to inspire such a marketing blitz? Why do 3 real estate conglomerates in a trench coat pretending to be a country need to invent a new dessert? Lastly, since Dubai is close to Iran, where I assume they source their pistachios, shouldn’t all this pistachio stuff be red?
Also on the red pistachios thing: this is just the absurdity of the confection industry and it’s been that way since its inception. Oh, you have some Swiss chocolate you say? Where in Switzerland did they grow the cacao beans?
I don’t think there is any pistachio that has its edible part any color other than usual green.
