Chocolate seabed ?

[MarkG]

Looking idly through the Admiralty Symbols and Abbreviations, aka 5011, I noticed that under 'Nature of Seabed' there is a reference to Chocolate on page 29.

Has anyone ever anchored in Chocolate? and is it milk or dark?

Presumably it has a lot of solids.

There are some nasty currants in the fruit and nut type.

Was formed when the galaxys collided.

On the floor of the deep oceans, poised in the middle of the larger tectonic plates, lie vast mudflats that might appear, at first glance, to constitute some of the least valuable real estate on the planet. The rocky crust underlying these "abyssal plains" is blanketed by a sedimentary layer, hundreds of meters thick, composed of clays that resemble dark chocolate and have the consistency of peanut butter. Bereft of plant life and sparsely populated with fauna, these regions are relatively unproductive from a biological standpoint and largely devoid of mineral wealth.

Well where the hell do you think chocolate comes from?

If you look at the symbols I seem to remember a ' Soft Sticky Chocolate Sponge' bottom is possible...

Do they do a Sticky Toffee Pudding?
