Food of the Gods^WDogs
I'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.
