Chocolate...
No other food invokes such intense reactions as does this cacao-derived
fare.
Whether we are talking about dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or semisweet
chocolate, and whether it winds up as a cake, a cookie, candy, a brownie,
ice cream, a pie, or as a drink, the passion for this stuff extends way
beyond its flavor aspects and ventures into the psychological realm.
"Sensuous", "decadent",
& "sinful" are just a few of the adjectives used to describe
chocolate.
Are we eating a candy bar here or engaging in some sort of
illicit act?
Although chocolate has not yet been targeted by D.A.R.E., people do seem
to prone to developing a compulsion for it. While not dismissing the appeal
of other flavors, there are no wide-spread accounts of vanilla addiction...no
one leaves the snug confines of their home at midnight to satisfy a craving
for butterscotch.
To top it all off, the health benefits of the flavanol rich
dark chocolate have been well documented.
Studies have shown that the cocoa phenols present in the dark variety are known to lower blood pressure!
Nope, there is nothing quite like chocolate. I hope you also find that
there is nothing quite like this website that is dedicated to this wonderous
substance.
