We have to pick...only....one?

Dark is the only way to go. Especially in American chocolate. It has more actually cocoa in it. Although, I love all kinds of dark chocolate. Mmmmmm.

I don't eat much chocolate, but I currently prefer any variant except for milk chocolate.

I particularly like dark chocolate.

(funnily enough, it was the opposite when I was younger)

Dark=awesome if it's a Cherry Ripe. Bad with everything else.

Milk= 0wnZ j00 all.

I've been buying these rather tasty dark chocolate bars from lindt, they're 70% cocoa, mildly sweet so you can eat the entire thing and not feel sick, and minimal ingredients (none of those hydrogenated oils).

*grins* Yes, dear, only one. 'Favourite' would indicate one, although, if it makes you feel better you can say that if I wasn't so evil, you'd have picked 'any and all types of chocolate' as your favourite.

Any chocolate from Ghiradellis.

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2003-03-25 10:33am

Okay, I picked milk chocolate but I like dark almost as well. White chocolate is pretty good for a change but not as good as the other two.

By the way, has anyone had the misfortune of eating cooking chocolate without cooking it in anything? Ack

Kelly Antilles · Post by **Kelly Antilles** » 2003-03-25 10:33am

My husband uses Ghiradelli dark and milk chocolate chips to make his chocolate fondue. My god, it's to die for.

Eh, it's not horrible, but it is chocolate. When I'm really desperate and have none in the house at all, I'll eat baking chocolate.

Eeep, I can't eat baking chocolate; the closest I get to that is semi-sweet. If I'm that desperate for chocolate, I'll make a run for it.

PS--Guess what, guys? This is my first poll EVER! How cool is that! Yay.

Oh, and extra lovin' to whoever picks up on the reference in the last poll option.

Hello, my name is Kelly and I'm a chocoholic.

I tried google, but the closest thing I found was a poem "Please don't kill my antelope" by Rick Walton

Hi, Kelly. Welcome! *smiles warmly in that 'I-know-how-it-is-because-I've-got-the-same-problem' kind of way*

Dark...sometimes a little spicy(when they add a hint of chili powder).

Or sometimes bitter...but at times sweet.

And oh yes Truffles

And then they have them with a bit of flavor but hidden so it only comes out when it melts..

And oh yes Milk is always good for a snack....

And...oh wait I'm rambling...

ROTF!!!! "Please don't kill my antelope?!" I'm going to have to go look that up now...

(Ok, mods, I'm really not trying to hijack my own thread, this is just too funny to not post. He had it TRANSLATED!! Bwahahaha...)

Please Don't Kill My Antelope

Please don't kill my antelope,
He hasn't bothered you.
He hasn't kicked you in the shin
Or spit inside your shoe.
He hasn't bitten off your nose
Or stomped on your rear end.
Please don't kill my antelope,
My antelope's my friend.

And now, thanks to Alberto Jose Miyara, Argentina, who translated the poem, "Please Don't Kill My Antelope" in Spanish.

No Te Metas Con Mi Antelope

No te metas con mi antelope,
que no te hizo ningun mal.
No se tomo tu bebida,
no se comio tu cereal.
No hizo sus necesidades
en el frente de tu casa,
y cuando hiciste una pizza
no hundio la pata en la masa.
No lo insultes ni le pegues,
o te las veras conmigo
No te metas con mi antelope,
mi antelope es mi amigo.

No, it's a fairly obscure line from a fantastico stand-up comedian. There are a handful of people here who will probably get it...I think.

All this talk about chocolate encourage me to eat the last of the Weiss chocolate that one of my co-workers gave me for Christmas. It's from the "Freedom" region of Europe and unfortunately the only piece I had left have a tint of orange flavoring to them

Godiva's good but Ghiradelli's my favorite. Both are quite good though.

MMMMMMM CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I'll eat almost any kind from the expensive shit to the cheap stuff. I'm not racist with my chocolate either, I like white, milk, dark, and rainbow when they ever come out with that.

I'm an equal-opportunity chocolate eater!

Ahh, Chocolate...

My favourite type are those Linder truffles

Hey, will someone inline Zoink's url? It's pushing the page too wide.

"Choclates! Icky!! Bad!!" - Me at the age of 3

Fortunately I grew out of that phase. From what my parents tell me I refused to eat chocolates when I was small because of the dark colour. I can't believe I was ever like that.

I'm one of those rare people who does not really like chocolate.
