OT: Chocolate

x-no-archive:yes

Sorry forgot to include the overall site, maybe better not knowing what is there though !

I always knew there was some limit as to the "acceptable" number of bug parts, but to see it spelled out... ugh! Heather Who probably still won't be able to give up chocolate.

Let's cut to the chase, shall we? {snip, snip}

There. That's better.

Elizabeth

I had to laugh when I read that - I mean how tasty is aesthetic? So have some more choccy Elizabeth, don't choke on a cockroach leg though :)

Cool! Now chocolate has fiber too! It just gets better and better.

A little protein won't hurt you. LOL! Ruby

Animal,vegetable. Nutritionally complete. LOL! ruby

When my dh came home after serving with the USAF in Viet Nam, he said the hardest thing to get used to was eating white bread that didn't crunch....

Ugh.

I've just choked on my breakfast!!

Catherine

Hmm - they used to sell chocolate covered ANTS in a store in Ipswich about

Pat P

Seems we may all have tried them without knowing ! ;-)

-- Carey in MA (still don't think this will get me to give up chocolate; it didn't say anything about chocolate flavored items, did it? Oh, horrors.....)

I have eaten roasted caterpillar but can't say I liked them. LOL! Ruby

The teeny tiny crunch of said leg is aesthetic. The rest of the said leg is protein and fibre, just what the new year's diet needs. Dawne

You should always take three bites before you deside if something is icky. Judy (in my best grandma voice)

At a gathering last night, someone was telling me about her young son and his chocolate experience. As a fairly little boy, he was given a couple of chocolates from a dollar store box, and broke out in a rash, although at first his mother didn't connect the two. He had occasionally eaten chocolate with no ill effect. But then it happened again. The boy can eat expensive chocolate with no ill effect, but reacts badly to some additive in inexpensive chocolates.

As a result, this golden haired cherub, at age 4, when offered a chocolate, will ask very politely, "Are they cheap??"

Great story! Recently 17 y.o. DD accused me of ruining her life by setting expectations so high - Hershey chocolates no longer hold any appeal after being raised on fine Kirschmayr's chocolates (local chocolatier - WONDERFUL stuff!)
