do I feel like I must have one of these?

No clue. Sorry.

Because deep down inside there's a little Martha Stewart waiting to come out ready to trim your fixte with ribbons and Ralph Lauren suede paint? (That black tape really must go, you need wire ribbon for that frame...and that's a good thing!)

Orrr you just like strawberries dipped in chocolate?

Orr you like your Colnagos dipped in chocolate?

It's the three tier thing that confuses me, that's just totally not you. 1 or 2 I can see, but THREE TIERS???

The third tier is for sitting. Like when you go to the opera and want to throw strawberries.

Think of the cleaning you'd have to do afterwards. All that wasted chocolate washed away (assuming you're not going to lick it clean, that is).

Because you really like chocolate & can’t help but yearn for a warm, cascading fountain of it on your dining-table?

I bought one like this for my wife last Christmas: it is a bit of a bitch to clean, & a bit of a waste to fire up for just for the two of us; but with a plate of fruit for dipping & a few guests it has made for some great special-occasion desserts.

At the German Christmas Market I went to in Birmingham on Sunday they had a stall with three chocolate fountains - one with plain chocolate, one with white chocolate and one with milk chocolate. You could make up your own kebabs of strawberries, marshmallows, cubes of cake, etc. and dip them in chocolate.

Or, best of all, a whole banana, on a stick, immersed for a few seconds in hot butter and then dipped in the chocolate of your choice.
Monkeys must never find out about this.
