4. Not really, I think I know what you are saying.
Not sure why people don't just say what they mean, why do you think that is?


When I think on that topic as metaphor, it is just something to do.

5. Dark chocolate is real.
Milk chocolate is a compromise. White chocolate is an abomination.

I love the flavor of real, dark chocolate. I buy it imported from Poland. One of the very few foods in which I refuse to eat domestic, for American chocolate goes through the Ivory Coast and besides doesn't stack up in flavor.

I have long contended that any food can be improved by adding garlic, cheese or chocolate. Quality chocolate changes everything. It's practically a drug; you are spot-on with that.

6. I think the Aztecs or someone in that region used chocolate as a medicine
although I don't remember what it treated....

Probably didn't matter, just made you feel better.

7. Chocolate for ADULTS. None of that kids stuff - milk chocolate. We had a client
that for Christmas would send the office a TEN pound bar of Giridelii chocolate.

We needed garden tools to attack it.

16. Does robbing from your children count?
When my sister-in-law sends Teuscher or La Maison du chocolate to my girls I steal their dark chocolate. I have convinced them they will not like it and should hand it over immediately.
