While watching Chocolat, did anyone wonder what the Chili that was mixed in with all that chocolate actually tasted like? i have to admit that i was curious. chocolate is such a tasty treat and chilis are spicy and not usually synonymous with dessert.
Then, today as i wandered down the aisles of my favorite store (aka- the drugstore where i pay through the nose but can usually find what i need), i came across my chance. On sale, was a bunch of Lindt chocolate- a variety of which just happened to be Mexican Chili Dark Chocolate. Ok- a golden opportunity if you will.
ARGH. it was not pleasant. Imagine if you will: your mom has just made some of her world famous, prefectly seasoned chili...then just as you are about to eat it, she comes up and squirts some chocolate sauce into your bowl. Yeah- it was kinda like that. My chocolate bar tasted more like chili and less like chocolate* Plus, there was definately the painful "i just ate a whole chili" afterburn.
I think whoever wrote the script for Chocolat was a big fat liar. Chili Chocolate was not tasty at all.
*breathe, Manda, breathe!!! i know it's a bit of a shock that any chocolate could be that terrible, but it was, i swear.
