Holmes said:Quoted message said:I was at Trader Joe's earlier today and, while waiting in
line, enjoyed the sendup of wine snobbery in their goofy,
wine-critic-style descriptions of the "varietal"
chocolate bars. My favorite was the one with "a hint of
tobacco."
I mentioned Valrhona on a.r.k recently. Their literature
includes "varietal" and "tobacco" while omitting "goofy"
and "sendup".
My friend, who was coincidentally at Trader Joe's yesterday
also and read those same descriptions, said that she's not
so sure they were intended to be goofy send-ups.
I was at a Trader Joe's on Saturday ! I bought 4 bottles of
wine and some yummy blackberries and 2 kinds of fancy
chocolate cakes and TO HELL WITH THE DIET !
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Good chocolate, though.
Sis got me a 1 pound + bar of dark for giftmas. Or was it my
Bday ? Anyhow, I still have about 1 pound of it. Of course,
I only opened it on Friday.
Quoted message said:Indeed it is.
But as with expensive wines, so with expensive chocolate: I
don't want to develop my palate to the point that I can't
enjoy the cheaper-but-good stuff.
I am willing to risk it. I don't like milk chocolate at all,
and for all love dark chocolates, I really don't eat all that
much.
Mate will consume most of the cakes I bought. He doesn't like
dark chocolate, so I get to slowly nibble the big bar to
death.
