Food of the Gods^WDogs
2006-05-01 00:42I've seen people talk about the hierarchy of chocolate quality, with Hershey on the bottom, one step above "dirt" or "chalk". Or maybe not above. I'd never been that sensitive, but I haven't eaten much Hershey's.
Well, tonight I'd finished a couple of bars of Endangered Species chocolate (no, I didn't eat two whole bars; I tend to have multiple flavors which I nibble on over days, and happened to finish both off) and decided to open a Mr. Goodbar I'd gotten free from Gamer's Guild (someone using up his mealpoints in donations to the Guild.)
BLEAHCH. It was not appetizing, apart from being sweet. A gritty texture seems the biggest thing I can articulately charge it with, but it felt crappy. Of course, it was milk chocolate with peanuts, and I've been eating dark (or white) chocolate, and I knew it was Hershey's -- hardly a blind controlled test. Still, I think I can imagine good milk chocolate with peanuts, and that wasn't it.
So I threw it out and opened a couple more bars to clean out my mouth.
Tangentially, a bowl of miso is suprisingly filling.
