WOT: RAM poll about chocolate
Beth Tindall
If you could have any ONE candy bar that you could eat unlimited quantities
of *without repercussions* (no weight gain, no cholesterol, no cavities, no
blood sugar spikes, etc.), what would it be?
My choice: Symphony plain milk chocolate
Beth (drooling at the thought)
JaneHadd
>of *without repercussions*
Does it have to be a BAR?
Because what I want is unlimited quantities of Godiva dark chocolate
"bricks,"
Which they don't make any more.
Dark chocolate. Tart lemon cream filling. Very nice.

Well, at the check out in our nearest pharmacy, they have these little
Lindt truffle balls for sale at 25 cents a piece.
Hazelnut. White chocolate. All kinds.
Would those count?

I'm not entirely sure. <G> Seriously, though, I know that because it contains
no cocoa, it can't legally be called chocolate. If you look in the baking
aisle at the supermarket, you'll see "white baking bar" and "vanilla chips,"
but no white chocolate.
Besides, I think it tastes nasty. <g>

Yep. It's called that b/c it has a trace of the cacao plant but
not enough that it can actually be classified as chocolate.

I'm going to look fro them the next time I go to our local British-foods shop.
They do have Flake, and a few others, but on a hot day I don't buy chocolate
unless I'm going straight home. Just TyPhoo teabags for my father and Demerera

I found a CA source for Tim Tams (and other Aussie goodies) that I can order,

Yep -- I'm really really mad with Beth for having started this post...
Yesterday afternoon at the grocery store I gave in and bought that Symphony
with Almonds and Toffee Chips. Haven't had one in about six years.
And the store didn't have normal-size bars in the checkout lane so I had to get
the gigantic one from the candy aisle.
I didn't eat it all at once.
But it's all Beth's fault.
I wonder if, worldwide, there was a noticeable increase in chocolate
consumption yesterday?

I didn't want to be responsible for your death by ecstasy.
Did I mention the Rum Butter Truffle Logs, the Grand Marnier Marzipan triangles
dipped in chocolate, and the chocolate covered Pistachio Marzipan with Kirsch?

Yes. Cadbury's, although I have a nostalgic fondness for it, is rather
poor-quality chocolate also.

to foods from Britain and Ireland.
They do have Aero bars and Smarties and Jaffa Oranges

Made from cocoa butter but the essential chocolatiness is lost. I can't
eat real chocolate without getting a tummy ache. I can eat white
chocolate without a tummy ache. Just major high blood sugar. :D

Ahem! Right in front of me I have a box of Bakers brand Premium White
Chocolate Baking squares that I got in the baking aisle. It was on the
shelf right next to the dark chocolate and milk chocolate baking
squares.
List of ingredients - Sugar, cocoa butter, milk, skim milk, soy,
lecithin, natural and artificial vanilla flavor
