I really like this piece of news. Any other chocolate-lovers out there? What is your favorite chocolate treat? I make a delicious chocolate mousse - so rich that it seems to melt right from the mouth into the bloodstream. I think it was Luca who asked me to post the recipe awhile back, and I will do so. I just have to dig out the cookbook... no small feat, since I have so many. And this chocolate mousse is made with...you guessed it....*dark* chocolate! I haven't made any for SO long. Pardon me while I dance and skip and sing!!! Oh, happy day!!! (Fifth article down on the page.) http://www.ajc.com/health/content/sh...ss/520939.html Last edited by Windswept : 2004-08-30 at 22:38. |

Of course the sick chocolate is good for you. Why not just say white chocolate cures cancer while your at it.
Either way, I can't eat too much chocolate at one time. I think I've OD'd on it too many time as a child. |

Did anyone else hate white chocolate as a child, but love it now?

Hi ast3r3x. Once you make chocolate desserts from scratch, you'll never enjoy an ordinary candy bar ever again. The chocolate in the average American candy bar seems to be full of wax, or something.
But *real*, unadulterated chocolate....ohhhhh....to die for! Last edited by Windswept : 2004-08-30 at 22:59. |

Does white chocolate *really* taste like chocolate to you, Eugene? Just wondering. |

It's the cocoa solids that are good for you. Trader Joe's has half kilo bars of dark chocolate imported from Belgium. It is 70 percent minimum cocoa solids. Mmmm good. I usually have two or three pieces after lunch.

Is anyone else disappointed that Murbot has not posted his "chocolate bunnies" (as in playboy bunnies)

A while ago Defiant mailed me some 'real' chocolate, and it was delicious.
Off topic: Did Defiant come over here? I liked him, but haven't seen him around. |

When I was over in France, I noted that all the chocolate had cacao percentages printed on top, for many of the packages that was the most visible graphic element. I suppose think 70%-90% were common?
I don't eat chocolate. It's pretty much the only thing I don't touch, this for health reasons. I've noticed it makes my skin feel worse if I eat a lot, and I doubt it's healthy in other regards either. Cacao powder is the thing that has been scientifically proven to be healthy. I have used dark cacao for taste in my after-gym recovery drink, but the quantity is only a couple spoonfuls, I don't notice any effect on the skin. It's not that good in a water based drink though |

Trader Joe's is on my errand list for the week. Thanks for the 'heads-up' about their chocolate. I started taking milk thistle yesterday. I hope it works. I think I caused problems taking too much tylenol and Black Cohosh. |

Defiant was mad cool. . .
On topic, Chocolate is good. I ate a lot of it for a long time. but a few years ago I just stopped eating it, acne went away, but it was probably placebo effect. Basicly I eat chocolate a few times a year, but never really feel like it. As for health effects of various foods and drugs, everything has it pro's and cons. With food people only see the bad parts. "Meat has a lot of fat" "Sugar and candy are really bad for you" and with stuff like aspirin and presciption drugs they only see the good parts. "Damn, I feel good." The latter part is what I don't like, but it nice to realize that all different foods are going to be good for you in some ways, and bad in others. |
