Dark chocolate - you are trying my patience.
Yes! You! Dark chocolate! I hate you!
Dark chocolate is not real chocolate!
Oh, I know, the chocolate aficionados are saying the opposite. That dark chocolate is the only true chocolate. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
I’ll tell you what real chocolate is about. Real chocolate is sweet and creamy. It caresses my whole mouth. It makes me close my eyes and think of paradise. It gives me a sugar high. It gives me a calorie bonanza of strength. It makes my coffee taste better.
Give a child chocolate, and it’s innocent unadultered taste buds will welcome it as food for the Gods.
That is chocolate. Light brown or even white chocolate.
Dark chocolate on the other hand? It’s bitter. It has no sweetness. No richness. No harmony. It “takes some getting used to”. And it’s never plentiful, because it’s friggin’ expensive!
Give a child dark chocolate and the child will spit it out and never accept food from you again.
