.....which is your favorite.
I'm discussing the benefits of chocolate on another thread so thought i'd ask. Which is your favourite.
I'm very partial to very dark choccie (80%)and chillie chocolate and lavender chocolate. I like Green and Blacks Organic (now owned by Cadbury) Lindt, and anything Belgian or Swiss.
So, what's yours?

Green & Black's dark organic chocolate's my favourite too. I heard a programme on chocolate on the radio the other day and they were saying you could tell good quality dark chocolate by its colour. If it's black it's poor quality - it means they've roasted the beans too long to try to extract extra flavour. The best is a dark red/brown.
I'm also partial to milk chocolate/caramel combinations, though.
This is making me hungry!

I'm not a big chocolate fan but if I have a choice I'd go for white.

i did read somewhere that there is no machine that can separate cocoa beans and cockroaches so some chocolates have about 20% added protein
my tesco rich dark choc wrapper says its only 5.8% protein so ill trust thats pure

There was something a month or so back on Radio 4 about chocolate - Death By Chocolate, i think the programme was called and hosted by Jo Brand. Did someone drown in a vat of chocolate?

Anything with more than 80% cocoa solids for me. Putting milk in chocolate is like puting cranberries and other such foreign bodies in cheese - against nature. As for white chocolate, that's about as useful as alcohol free wine

I thought white chocolate wasn't chocolate at all. Something about not having cocoa solids in it. Could be wrong, though.
Just re-read your posting, Alan - that's what you were saying, wasn't it?

You thought exactly right.
"White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. Unlike chocolate, white chocolate contains neither chocolate liquor nor cocoa solids. White chocolate does typically include lecithin as an emulsifier, and certain flavorings, particularly vanilla or vanillin." (Wikipedia)
Sounds as disgusting as it tastes
