I wouldn't be that nice. Mostly because I dislike my coworkers.

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

We're doing a series of tastings. So far I've only had to pay for part of one, one time, so it's time for me to give a little back.

Plus today really sucks and I want nice chocolate.

You should try the chocolate covered bacon that Whole Foods has :p

The bar of this same brand (which we've had) or some other kind?

[moonrock.livejournal.com]

Hm. I have no idea who actually makes it, but I know WF carried it (at least they did a few months ago. The cashier actually said it flies off the shelf. Odd.)

Googling gets me:

How much cocoa?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

It says "41% cacao" on the label. Here is the site:

Sounds and looks great.... I *L*O*V*E* dark chocolate... the darker the better. Well, almost. My comfort zone is 60-85% of cocoa. I once bought and tried a 99% thing. It swiftly met the trash bin.

Which size? There are two.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

Yeah but you live in a weird place!

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same size as this. That's a low price, considering they sell them for $7.50 on their site.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

And 200 degree heat.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I was talking about winter!

i found an ice cream recipe that calls for that exact chocolate bar. (well, that one or the similar one from theo.)

great, now i'm craving chocolate. and butter chicken.

[rei-saru.livejournal.com]

So what's so exotic about this bar?

[rei-saru.livejournal.com]

What the hell is butter chicken and why haven't I heard of it before?!

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Curry.

[palomar.livejournal.com]

what what?! never heard of butter chicken?

Start here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_chicken) And then go here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yswO3b__f4k") for youtube delights.

[rei-saru.livejournal.com]

That explains the "naga" name, then.

[paterson-si.livejournal.com]

Yes.... obviously, there is a limit to all that awesomeness. LOL

[gower-power.livejournal.com]
