Someone's having a laugh......which food


Recommended Posts

Not trying to get all heavy and whatnot, but why are some people so down on white chocolate?  So it doesn't have the cocoa solids - it still has the cocoa butter, right?  And all the technicalities aside, it is still smooth and creamy and tastes good.

Because I disagree...I don't think it tastes good.

Pot-ay-to, pot-ah-to.

Anyway, I'm a heathen - carry on.

I'm a heathen too, then. I love white chocolate, that is, good white chocolate. Course, the name's kind of a like a bait-and-switch for true cocoa-solid-fans, so I'd guess that's where the rancor comes from?

It's really just "butter" and sugar, and that's a pretty tasty combo for me. I don't like "real" chocolate anyhow; I'd much rather have some good white chocolate any day. To each her own--plus, that's more chocolate for the rest of you.

I also am perfectly happy that other people like white chocolate even if I'm the one who first mentioned it in this thread along with fake Parmesan in cans. No comparison was intended.

To me, it's just too sweet and doesn't have enough of a distinctive taste of its own to merit interest. I do prefer bittersweet and semi-sweet to milk chocolate, too.

Thanks for the offer of more! :wub:
