White chocolate isn't actual chocolate, right? My favorite would have to be Crispy M&Ms and Almond Joys.
this was covered above. it's made from the cocoa bean, as are the other kinds of chocolates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_chocolate
I like a smidgen of semisweet chocolate in a kettle of chili. Not so much that you immediately think "Chocolate!" when you taste it, but enough that you can recognize it when you know it's there.
I might have to try that. It reminds me of a recipe I came across that listed cayenne pepper as one of the ingredients in a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Talk about yummy. It's the only way I make them now.
Yes, I've had Chicken Mole Poblano a number of times, and it did play a role in the inpiration to try chocolate in chili.
I like very dark chocolate, preferably with mint or orange flavour. *licks lips* Regular milk chocolate is far too sweet.
IIRC one of the original uses of chocolate was to mix it unsweetened with chili peppers in a drink. the aztecs did that, i think.
I probably would have, but Tim-Tams are not particu;arly available outside of Australia. I live about as far from the Land Down Under as you can get and still be on the same planet.
I've had the Chocolate Orange (Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate). Also the Chocolate Raspbarry (Milk & Dark also).
I love chocolate made with dutch process cocoa. I'm partial to milk chocolate, though. I really can't stand dark or white.
I maintain the opinion that any choco is good choco! I found out today that a coworker of mine does not have a taste for chocolate.... talk about baffling. I couldn't understand it; he said he wasn't allergic, he just doesn't like chocolate. I think he's crazy.
i'm not sure if it's because of the proportion of taste receptors that people have on the tongue or because of the way the brain interprets the feedback, but some people have very different taste experiences with a given food. a common example is cilantro or cumin- to me they are sweet and tasty but to many other people they are distinctly metallic or bitter. ask your coworker specifically how chocolate tastes to them and you may shed some light on this matter.
