    It just is i think.

    Hershey bars are bendy, chewy, undigestable and shit:

    Cadburys chocolate is melty, lovely, hard mmmmmmmmm

    Why cant other countries make good chocolate
    (ok admittedly belgian chocolates are nice, so are kinder eggs, and Ferrero Rocher!)?

    Think about it.....











    or not,






    fine, suit yourself then!


By Dougie on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:15 pm:

    You forgot Switzerland, dumbass. I'd only feed Cadbury to your dogs.


By Nate on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:18 pm:

    cadbury's chocolate is nasty.

    christ almighty.

    this is the chocolate i eat when i eat chocolate, which isn't often:

    http://www.chocolatebar.com/

    this reminds me of a happy time when someone made chai biscotti for me.

    oo.


By Alex on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:18 pm:

    perhaps I dont like swiss chocolate???

    didnt think of that did you?

    Lucky dogs!

    hmmm actually I am partial to the odd bit of Toblerone.....


By patrick on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:22 pm:

    godiva.

    hands down


By patrick on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:22 pm:

    and i had your chocolate when i visited.

    i was not moved.

    sticks to beers


By Nate on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:24 pm:

    lindt


By Dougie on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:28 pm:

    Yep, Lindt is the be all and end all of commercial chocolate. Melts on your tongue like butter.

    Alex, I'll tell you what -- go out and buy a fuckoff big box (to use an Eddie Izzard expression) of Cadbury's and feed it to your dogs day and night. They'll be the happiest pups on your block for a while.


By Antigone on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:29 pm:

    Why does Alex ask a question that is just a statement?


By Nate on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:33 pm:

    because he is an anal fuckstain?


By Cat on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:34 pm:

    Chocolate can kill dogs?

    Lindt is my reward for living longer. Also those ones that come in a red box with cute little elephants on them and they might start with "B".

    In Asia, they like their chocolate more bitter. Cadbury's deliberate leave out some sugar for the Asian market. That's just wrong.


By Dougie on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:39 pm:

    Not for Alex's dogs. It's good for them.


By patrick on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:39 pm:

    yes cat. very bad for them. enough can kill them. same for cats, as i understand it.


By Antigone on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:45 pm:

    Bitter chocolate is better chocolate.

    I once ate baker's chocolate. It made me happy.


By heather on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:46 pm:

    chocolate.


    yuck.



By Dougie on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 06:48 pm:

    You're not helping our clusterfuck, heather.


By Nate on Tuesday, July 24, 2001 - 07:29 pm:

    once my daschundt ate a whole box of super chocolate chip cookies. she was bloated to fuck. like an over inflated inflatable pillow.

    no give when you poked her stomach.

    she died.



    but much later. it had nothing to do with the cookies.


By semillama on Wednesday, July 25, 2001 - 09:38 am:

    german chocolate is good. so are german beers.

    Fuck chocolate, let's throw shit at each other about which country has the best beers (not counting Ireland and guinness, since that stuff transcends all)


By Nate on Wednesday, July 25, 2001 - 11:24 am:

    guinness does not transcend all. shit. there are much better stouts.

    i'm really happy with the northwestern US.

    belgium.

    fuck.

    WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A BEST?


By Alex on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 02:06 pm:

    small brewries make the best beer I think...


By TBone on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 03:26 pm:

    How can you tell? It all tastes like ass to me.


By Nate on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 03:53 pm:

    have you tasted ass?


By Cat on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 07:08 pm:

    Have you offered your ass to wolf with the red roses?

    I am on a Meatloaf kick right now. Big anthem music swelling out my verandah doors.


By dave. on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 07:14 pm:

    meatloaf sucks.


By Nate on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 07:18 pm:

    he was cool in fightclub.


By dave. on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 07:24 pm:

    hmm. true.


By Antigone on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 07:34 pm:

    His name is Robert Paulson...


By Meatloaf on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 08:43 pm:

    dave sucks.


By Nate on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 08:54 pm:

    you have man tits.


By spunky on Saturday, July 28, 2001 - 11:07 pm:

    FUCKOS


By Czarina on Sunday, July 29, 2001 - 09:15 am:

    "WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A BEST?"




    What kind of asinine question is that?


By spunky on Sunday, July 29, 2001 - 09:37 pm:

    There has to be a best, or there wouldn't be a worst.


By Nate on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 12:39 am:

    if there are four quantities, three being equal and one being inferior, there is no one best, but there is one worst.

    fuckstain.

    don't reduce me for my questions. answer my question and reduce yourself.


By Czarina on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 10:44 am:

    Quite simply,because thats what people want.
    As you seem insistent on this "reducing" theme I am doing that at present.But feel I must add the fact,that I can't reduce too much more,or no one
    will be able to see me.

    Could you name a trio of items that are equal in quality?I'm not understanding this theory,so thought maybe a visual might make it more logical.


By Dougie on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 10:55 am:

    I think Americans in general like to think in terms of "best" and that there's somebody out there defining what that best is for them. Makes it easy -- no messy gray areas. From commercials to the plethora of award shows on tv almost every week, Best Film, Best actor, best athlete, best play, Top Ten lists, World's All Time Fifty Greatest Whatevers, World's Best Underarm Deodorant.


By patrick on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 11:39 am:

    Meatloaf?


    fucking christ cat.



    i happened to stumble upon some Dinosaur Jr. this weekend and forgot how nice it is to my ears.


    I also shaved.




By dave. on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 12:59 pm:

    BIG surprise there.


By Nate on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:03 pm:

    the world is full of big suprises this morning.


By agatha on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:24 pm:

    yo, dave...

    i gotcher big surprise swinging right here.


By Nate on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 01:31 pm:

    swinging? that's a big suprise.


By R.C. on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 02:01 pm:

    Neuhaus is THE BEST I've ever had/hands down. They're Belgian & you can order from them online.


    http://www.neuhauschocolates.com/idx1.htm

    I saw a piece on some specialty chocolate company in San Francicso on the TV Food Network. They went thru the whole process of how they combine cocoas from different countries (becuz of the varying fat contents)/using top-quality cocoa & varying the temperatures during the creation of the chocolate to make sure it doesn't seperate later. It was way cool.


By Dougie on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 02:28 pm:

    What's that stuff out of SF, Ghiradelli I think, somebody from work here brought some back, stuff tastes like cardboard.


By dave. on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 04:04 pm:

    what, agatha, a white string?


By Stan on Monday, July 30, 2001 - 07:12 pm:

    no, the grey's skanky-shinned lemur swinging from the white string!


By agatha on Tuesday, July 31, 2001 - 12:32 am:

    that's fucking cold as ice, dave. don't think you won't pay for that.


By dave. on Tuesday, July 31, 2001 - 12:56 am:

    i've been paying for years.


By agatha on Tuesday, July 31, 2001 - 10:05 am:

    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    dis.


By Etouffe on Tuesday, July 31, 2001 - 11:07 am:

    i have become afraid of the sautee wars.
    i do not wish to be carmelized.


By R.C. on Tuesday, July 31, 2001 - 02:04 pm:

    No - I think the company had a Jewish name. But I honestly can't remember it/I only remember it was in S.F.


By Exploding belly on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 09:40 pm:

    if you shop around ,you can get choc flavva beer.


By Spic and span on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 09:45 pm:

    the only downside is it give you terminal wind.
