But chocolate is an end result, like cheesecake. You take the cocoa beans, and you add this, and you add that... You can just grab a ripe mango off the tree and eat. (No disagreement from me on the wonderfulness of chocolate, though.
)
Similarly, you don't usually eat tofu plain. (Do you?) It's great as an
ingredient, though (I agree.) Oh and also there isn't, like, a tofu bush -- soy beans have to be processed (but I'm noticing a bean product trend...)
Now blueberries are exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. They ARE wonderful, aren't they? Especially freshly picked, still warm from the sun... mmmmmmmmmmmm!
