Chocolate: A very important poll!

[Marc Chevalier]

A branch of my credit union is right inside a See's candy factory. Chocolate fumes are everywhere, and free chocolate candies are always on hand for credit union customers.

Dark chocolate is supposed to be good for the memory, and not only that they say that dark chocolate is good for the memory too. Wait, what did I just say? Have I mentioned that dark chocolate is good for the memory?

But it's sooo bad for the waistline.

It also supposedly revs up your sex drive! I simply *had* to obey the doctors and keep a bar in my desk drawer and have a square or three every day. Hopefully this won't make me fat. This is the stuff in my drawer currently:

Great stuff!

And let us not omit the greatest hot chocolate in the universe: served at "Christian Constant", a cafe owned by the chocolatier in Paris. (M. Constant's chocolate shop is next door.)

Dark, bitter, and thick, the "chocolat chaud" served at Christian Constant is the kind you can stick a spoon into and it will stay upright.

Christian Constant
37, rue d’Assas, VIe. arrondissment
Paris, France
http://www.christianconstant.com/


(Runner-up: the hot chocolate served at any older cafe in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Prepared in a small, beaten-copper pot with a wooden handle, and slowly poured -- with waiterly elan -- into your cup.)

And let us not forget the truth test of the chocolatier's art:

the CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE.

Truffles are like souffles: either they're great successes or dismal failures. There's no middle ground.

Six years ago? I was in Santiago, Chile, and dreaming of drinking chocolat chaud in Paris.

Hm, well I suppose that's a reasonable excuse. lol

 

["Doc" Devereux]

I adore good white chocolate with high quality vanilla to go with the cocoa. One of the great advantages of having a friend in Brussels whose chap passes through on the way to visit every weekend is that 'care packages' can be sent back.

Mmmm... Belgian hand-made chocolates...

 

[Lauren]

Dark. I'm actually eating some right now!

 

[Miss Neecerie]

There is no way to choose one type...

Each has its own use and moment, from white to dark...in which it shines and excels more then its siblings.

 

[Lady Day]

A friend once asked me: "If you could have only one for the rest of your life, what would it be, chocolate or cheese?"


Chocolate cheese cake would be a great middle ground, but as far as the original question . . . . Im still deciding.

Best is Green & Blacks dark

That is my favorite too. I like it better than Sharffen Berger.
