LOL, Brent. As a dark chocolate person, I am NOT offended but quite proud of my chocolate heritage...in that I have eaten dark chocolate long before it became the new "health food."
It is so bizarre hearing people talk about DARK chocolate, they don't say chocolate. I just heard someone interviewed on some tv interview start talking about it.
I will try just about anything dark. I like the single country offerings coming out now. Funny, like coffee or tea.
Alex sent me some interesting bars from his store that were interesting (thanx again, Alex). One was 93%, that is toooooo dark for me. Plus it has hardly any added cocoa butter or sugar, so, it is very bitter and even more chalky. My mouth could not melt it and I felt like a little kid making a funny face and looking for any place to spit it out, really intense. But I ate it out of principle, lol.
For me, I eat it more to enjoy it and it makes me
feel good when I eat it, so, I am not going to eat it for health reasons at all. That is silly to me, but I tell people it is my 2nd fav health food. It must be real chocolate made with real cocoa butter (and definately no hydrogenated oil which is used in some cheaper offerings). I figure, if it is good for me, that is a plus. I can usually eat a few small pieces a day and not get carried away.
Just try some Brent and Mary. To be honest, I am getting overwhelmed (and underwhelmed at the same time) by the industry flooding the market with dark chocolate options. I do not need another interest like tea.
But I still don't know how to play chess. Andrew spent the better part of our freshman year at college trying to teach me. (It was our Friday night date! Oh, the life before fraternities...) It didn't take.
