Lindt is the only chocolate worthy of being described as chocolate.


Pfft. It's very good indeed, but Valrhona is better.

I couldn't decide.

BTW, white chocolate is not chocolate. It's fat and sugar.

Monkeys appear, from the outsider's point of view, at least, to have really rotten perfunctory sex.

Not as awful as dogs - but pretty awful.


Just wondering what all this "mad monkey sex" stuff was...

Rufio:

White chocolate is the opressive chocolate of the man! Made to perpitrate real chocolate and hold real chocolate down by taking up valuable shelf space at the grocery. White chocolate and its lies of deliciousness are INFUSED in our society and there is no way that real chocolate will be free until the lies of the MAN have been exposed! Wink

Yes, TTF; I share your Marxist position. White chocolate (mere fat and sugar sans antioxidants) is the optiate of the masses.

I'm partial to belgian chocolate, in the form of my local chocolatier's Sjaak's chocolates, and rather keen on the chocolates I bought at a wee bar in Parma, sob, I'm not there, but I haven't tried all the fancy numbers like valhrona. Have tried Scharfenberger. sp? Ok, beats Hershey's, Nestles, etc. Hmm, Nestles bought Perugina, as I understand it..

I picked, of course, chocolate.

It appears that it up to us to give our lives whatever meaning it will or will not have.

That being the case, there is no doubt that chocolate and (and good strong coffee) indeed spices, intensifies, and adds to the illusory quality of this dream.

Well, if you're going to be serious, let me suggest it is not the abstract general categories of things that give my life meaning; it's the concrete particular events of each moment. THEY are what define being alive. Therefore it's not the IDEA of chococlate but the actual tastING that is the meaning of certain "chocolate moments". It is not HAVING CHILDREN but cuddling them or taking them to first-day kindergarten. It's not the idea of cuddling and taking to kindergarten. Life is living. All efforts to make it more than that, to make it "meaningful" at the level of idea robs us, or at least distracts us, from the actual experiencING. I should say that the anticipation of an impending bout with chocolate (dark, not white) can be part of the real pleasure. Remember the old French saying about sex. The best thing about it is walking upstairs.

Points well spoken, JLN.

However,[/b]I strongly disagree with this last line. If there is one time when I agree its best to Be Here Now, and not live in the past or future, its during lovemakING!Very Happy

I feel pity for whoever said that part about walking upstairs and sex. They must not have had the best of partners! (Or perhaps they had an exceptionally great imagination . . . hmm . . . perhaps I could look into acquiring one of those).

I though the "chocolate experience" have more to do with endorphins than with philosophy.
