Once you switch to dark chocolate it's hard to go back (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

As a younger man I was a milk chocolate guy. Now that I've become more accustomed to dark, the milk chocolate just tastes like swill. Am I right???

 

[RUSF18]

This is pretty much the only thing you've ever been right about.

The lighter chocolate tends to run when it gets hot.

The lighter chocolate tends to run when it gets hot.

Is this a euphemism?

 

[NutterButter]

I'll always love me some Godiva milk chocolate. Stuff might be pretty overpriced, but its delicious.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Milk chocolate becomes almost inedible compared to dark chocolate. The taste of milk chocolate is as subtle as sticking your tongue in a bowl of Denny's crunchy, stale sugar.

Add some good spicy heat to it and dark chocolate gets even better.

Pretty damn good

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

You are right.

That's because it is swill. Dark chocolate: Gruyere. Milk chocolate: Kraft singles.

 

[eoMMan]

I like my chocolate like my women: black and bitter.

Just kidding, white and sweet are ten times better.

This sounds like something a fat woman would post about.

Since johnjohn has been temporarily suspended, I will speak for him - White Chocolate Rules!

 

[Binky The Doormat]

White power!!

I like white chocolate ok ...but lets not be coy. We all know its not even chocolate.

 

[Christo]

Depends

Don't be colorist. It is close enough even though it doesn't contain cocoa solids.

White chocolate is a chocolate derivative.

[mr roboto]

Agreed. I'll listen to Otis on candy and women.

White chocolate is made while people in the ugly factory look at pictures of delicious real and natural dark chocolate.

kate upton prefers dark chocolate... it's how she keeps those mammaries so big and delicious

 

[rockaction]

It's because you're getting older, doofus.

Taste buds become more active in the back of your mouth, apparently, or something like that.

Least that's the folklore I hear.

 

[skol asylum]

No

Not to nitpick, but I can't buy the gruyere comparison. :yuk:I would say dark chocolate is like freshly grated from the block parmesan reggiano, while milk chocolate is like grated parmesan in a can.

 

[chauncey]

90% Cacao is the way to go. Especially good with sea-salt almonds. And what Northern Exposure said.

 

[Otis]

Agreed. I'll listen to Otis on candy and women.

Throw in cookies and you've ID'd my expertise trifecta.

 

[gianmarco]

I'm gonna start a thread on this.

 

[Kal El]

Dark chocolate is pretty amazing.

 

[jamny]

Especially with wine!

 

[heckmanm]

Especially with wine!

Also whiskey - testing so far limited to Crown XR, but results were excellent.

 

[kutta]

Agreed. I can't hardly even eat milk chocolate anymore.

 

[El Floppo]

Yes. Otis is right.

 

[JohnnyU]

DC is bitter IMO, but I do seem to want to listen to rap music when I eat DC.

 

[Braktastic]

This thread was more literal than I'd hoped. :(

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Hey guys, have you ever noticed that Grand Cru Bourdeauxs are better than Mad Dog 20/20? I mean, whoah, right?

 

[JohnnyU]

This thread was more literal than I'd hoped. :(

I changed my post more to your liking.

 

[Brony]

I'm down with the dark chocolate.

I also like spicier mustards as I've gotten older, but everyone once in awhile some bright ### yellow mustard on a soft pretzel is dreamy.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Coffee too.

Is this the beginning of your divorce thread?

 

[El Floppo]

Wait... there was something about Beyonce regarding Otis. My brain and notebooks are dicey at best... but did he find her unattractive? Is this thread a coming to terms mid-life crisis kind of thing?

You are correct about dark chocolate. I like 60%

I will, however, still eat crappy chocolate in the form of fun size snickers, Cadbury Eggs, etc. There has to be other ingredients. Milk chocolate on its own? Never again

60%? That's barely even brown chocolate.

 

[GDogg]

Correct. Green & Black's 85% is my go to.

I only eat 100% baking chocolate.

FTW.

 

[mr roboto]

I like the 72% with ground espresso.

Pfffft. Might as well just mainline Ding Dongs.

Ding Dongs/King Dons and Ho ho's are still pretty good #### food. A box of 10 doesn't last one dessert for the four of us.

6 figures, bench 300lbs, 80% cocoa and higher only = FFA

I know 60% is on the low side, I don't like more than 70%.

 

[Christo]

Jesus Christ. Leave it to a bunch of FBGs to try to be chocolate snobs and still get it wrong.

People, there is some damned good milk chocolate out there.
