Word of the Day: Penchant
If you like something very much, you probably have a penchant for it.
I have a penchant for two things: chocolate and long walks.
I suppose I’m lucky because long walks help me burn off the calories I gain from eating chocolate.
If you like something very much, you probably have a penchant for it.
For example, some people have a penchant for cozy mysteries.
Anyway, to get back on topic, I love eating rich and delicious chocolate cake.
It’s to die for.
Each Christmas, I purchase a handmade Van Houten chocolate Christmas cake.
Now, in Japan, Christmas cakes are not usually chocolate; they’re made of sponge cake with lots of fresh fruit on top.
I know this, but as I said earlier, I have a penchant for chocolate.
Although my wife and I share the cake, I eat the lion’s share.
