Proper chocolate!

[dolf]

Definitely the best I've tried so far.

Someone asked about good chocolate in another thread, a few weeks ago, and I didn't respond because I struggled to decide my favourite. But then I tried tosier. I'm too fucking lazy to dig it up and resurrect.

But, yes, this is proper chocolate.

Christ, I thought it was called Tosser.

Soon as I saw the word vegan I checked out.
I can't support such lunacy.

I love a bit of chocolate with some Turkish coffee...and then bounce off the walls.

Given the thousands of organisms that give their very lives to the fermentation process, "vegan" seems a stretch.

Then you're a pillock.

Orange juice is vegan. Water is vegan. Fries, generally cooked in vegetable oil these days, are usually vegan too. If the label mentioned that they were vegan, would those products become lunacy?

Dark chocolate should be vegan. As opposed to milk chocolate, which is supposed to contain milk.

Taken to the extreme, swallowing your own saliva isn't vegan...

Chocolate is my favorite food group. I'll have to try Tozier sometime.

Actually yeah, I avoid products that label themselves as vegan. I don't need anyone thinking I'm buying it because of that. I got a reputation to maintain.
Also I don't eat fries or chocolate or even OJ for that matter so it's moot.
Also a joke so lighten up, Frances.

I didn't really notice that I was getting progressively darker chocolate. I don't know about over there but here because there were studies about how dark chocolate is actually good for you they're all now bragging about how much chocolate is in there.

Usually the reason I buy it since I don't eat a lot of chocolate is because something about it caught my eye like sea salt or chili powder or some other thing that I wanted to try.

I bought some chocolate with hazelnuts the other day, and I didn't really take notice that it was milk chocolate. It was horrible. I didn't realize my tastes had changed that dramatically.

Honestly so did I.

There's a pretty fine local chocolate maker, here.

 

[Tigersman]

My favorite is "World's Finest Chocolate" that is usually sold during fundraisers.

I see...

This is probably the way to go. Small producers, with a genuine passion for the products, who built relationships with their growers.

Tastes better and it doesn't give your conscience indigestion.

I describe this as the wine approach.

When I was buying the chocolate, I was given several tasting samples and talked through the flavours I should be picking up on. It's fascinating stuff.

Damn! Because of this thread, I've been watching chocolate making vids.++.
There's something hypnotising about seeing warm chocolate flowing into those moulds.


Did you know that the yearly chocolate consumption per capita for Australians and Americans is 4-5 kgs, for Chinese 125 grams and for Brits. 8-10 kilos?
