ncorrenti 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I'm addicted to chocolate. It's the best. Link to post Share on other sites
NutteyCubey 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I've always known that. Especially Cadburys Dairy Milk. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I used to think that too (Cadburys is great), but after living in Japan I have got hooked on the bitter chocolate, thats the way forward. Cadburys lacks cocao. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I know that as well (about being good for you). As for "bitter".... nah! Link to post Share on other sites

Cadburys lacks cocao. Bingo. One of my first posts on this forum was not unsurprisingly a complaint... about Japanese choco. I was so conditioned to look for crap like mars bars that I couldn't see what was there for my blindness of what wasn't on the shelf. Ocean11 pointed out that English chocolate is far inferior and Japanese stuff actually tastes like, and is, the real thing. Ocean was right and I soon learnt to enjoy the quite high quality J choc. On my return to the western world, specifically the UK, I found that English chocolate is not actually chocolate, not even close: it is metly, smooth, sickly sweet brown stuff with flavourings and 0.0002% cocoa. It's bloody awful When I had a resident Japanese connection I was kept in a constant supply of those golden boxes of chocolate almonds with the double layer: milk and bitter. For a chocolate that you could buy at a lowly service station, train platform or corner store... they were superb. I used to like the meiji ones until Bekham's silly egg appeared on the box.

Ocean11 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I found that giving up chocolate entirely had far reaching health benefits. You get the same health benefits from onions, which are more satisfying than chocolate and don't make you fat and crave more. Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 They smell more than chocolate though. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I will try any chocolate. It has to be done, for research purposes. Link to post Share on other sites
firedog23 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yeah but pulling out an onion at the movies and taking a bite just doesn't do the same thing for me. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 That is such good news. I have eaten a fair bit today. Feeling sleepy now. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really care what % of cocoa is in chocolate, does that have any real meaning. I just like what tastes good. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 60% or 70% cocoa chocolate become more popular in Japan. I can eat 70% Lindt chocolate but scared of trying 85%. This cacao man makes very good chocolate. Link to post Share on other sites
firedog23 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I tried an 85% and it was like eating chalk. It is Lotte Limited Edition. Just a little to much for me. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Any names for this strong stuff - I'd be interested to try it. I like sweet and creamy myself. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Eating milk chocolate boosts your brain power. In tests at Wheeling Jesuit University, participants were given pieces of dark chocolate, milk chocolate or nothing at all and then asked to carry out computer based cognitive tests. Researchers found those given milk chocolate performed significantly better than the rest. Link to post Share on other sites

joshnii 2 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 So the 99% one doesn't count as milk chocolate then? Link to post Share on other sites
