Favorite Chocolate Positions?

[Togakure]

Ok choco-holics: tell us how you like it. Be GRAPHIC!

Me, I like good ol' See's (the chocolate, not the ol' spinster)--mixed chocolates (variety is the spice of life) and nuts/chews (errm ... variety is the spice of life?). No less than three pounds at a time (gimme those luv handles), and with nothing else except milk until the big fat box is empty.

I'm a major binge-er. I abstain for a long time, then just eat like a bunny for days. Delayed gratification makes for better peaks.

My aunt makes this chocolate cake stuff--halfway between a chocolate brownie and chocolate fudge--that is just TO DIE FOR. I get SO excited when she lets me stick it in the oven!! She guards the recipe like an old maid though (and I HAVE rummaged through her recipe drawer when she wasn't looking ...). I'll nail it one of these days (the recipe, not my aunt).

I like to force my steamy chocolate on the icy mounds of cocoa delight. Chilled Dairy is usually a side I enjoy while I ravage the environment; every subtleness of cocoa procurement, may it be shaved chunked or chipped. It's even more seductive when the addition of a baked chocolate brownie is covered with the icy mounds of cocoa'd cream.

Oh the delights, oh the temptation....

I haven't eaten sweets since I got to college

But I like my chocolate best when mixed with whipped cream and strawberries

Beaux con dulce (or however you spell it) is my favorite cake. Hot chocolate is wonderful after doing something like shoveling the front walk on a snowy day, especially when sitting in front of a fire.

If I'm eating it straight I prefer dark chocolate to milk. Aglemeses makes the best chocolate in Cincinnati(Good luncheon and ice cream too, love that place ) and Esther Price is good as well.

Oh, and chocolate milk! 3 meals a day, 7 days a week.

Why Chocolate?
Just have sex.

Seriously though, I like dark chocolate candy bars (Euro style) melted in my pocket, to be squeezed into my mouth like a tube.
Or cold chocolate grated like cheese and sprinkled liberally upon foodstuffs.

Oh sweet joy.

The intense purity of an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. The foundation of youth. What dreams are fuelled by.

Lying in bed with my woman eating dark chocolate and drinking champagne at midnight New Year's Eve because she said she wanted a quiet night and didn't want to go to a loud party. "Is this ok with you?" "Yes dear."

Laying on the couch on a rainy Saturday afternoon eating Ben & Jerry's chocolate ice cream while watching hour after hour of Julia Child and Jaques Pepin cooking shows.

Flying a Spitfire on my computer while destroying an entire bag of chocolate chip cookies and drinking beer. rat-tat-tat-tat-tat.... vroooooom!

Eating a fresh chocolate croissant with my coffee in the work truck on the way to another day's slavery in the woods. The last vestiges of civilization before Neanderthalism takes over. "Grrrr!"

I rarely (and then only because it would be impolite to do otherwise, i.e. hurt the host's feelings) eat anything sweet unless it's made of chocolate (at least mostly, if not entirely).

Following where Beirut left, there's hardly anything better than lying in bed late at night reading a good book and stuffing your face with chocolate...which usually has to be almonds/hazelnuts-based...
I usually go all the way, too: if you start it, finish it ;) so no half-chocolates in my cabinets ;)

A rich chocolate milk, steamy hot with roughly half a ton of sugar (if the chocolate powder not sweet enough already) is great too.

Oh, and my grandma used to cook these delicious cakes, basically dough, chocolate, syrup (i.e. water & sugar mostly), and more chocolate. The platter would barely fit in our fridge (well, we had a small fridge, true).

ah, the blessings of chocolate. there's a cake they make around here (and prolly other places too) called 'better than sex'. yup, it's a cake, very chocolatey, and it really is a race between the two as to which is better.

mocha coffee was my favorite for a long time. i still enjoy it from time to time.

and there was this little ice cream parlor kind of place in ann arbor michigan, in Arborland (one of the malls), that served a hollow pie crust ball, cut in half, filled with ice cream, usually vanilla, and smothered in hot chocolate that was to go out of your way for. i believe they called them chocolate cream puffs. sadly, they went out of business quite a few years ago :(

but, and this is going to surprise some of you, my favorite chocolate drink i learned about on a golf course. at about the 12th hole on the course they had a little refreshment stand. the favored drink was half Vernor's gingerale and half chocolate milk. the mix of those two is really quite enjoyable.

and Hires Root Beer stands in MIchigan served 'black cows', which was a mix of Hires root beer and chocolate ice cream. also quite good.

and the Hershey's semi-sweets are one of those that i tend to savor, just letting it melt in my mouth and sort of ooze into my pores.

and i forget the brand name, but it was one of those heart shaped boxes you see around valentine's day, large and filled with mixed centers. one of those brands had some cherry, raspberry, and strawberry filled chocolates that there was just too good to give the box to your girlfriend, even though that's why you supposedly bought it ;)

Short of exchanging pets around, there are few other ways one can meet or improve relationships with one's neighbour beside giving chocolate. A neighbour might forgive some lawn trampling and depredation of his landscape with enough chocolate.

In case I got to be the target of your goodwill and you are willing to give me some chocolate so that I excuse your multiple faults, let me lay out my preferences;

- dark, dark, dark. It got to be dark. 70% is a good number, the more the better. If it's sweet, it ain't chocolate.
- do NOT mix chocolate with anything else. No nuts, no berries, nothing. If you really, really want to give some fruity touch to chocolate, I might consider chocolate and orange, or citrus.
Milk chocolate is an heresy, white chocolate an insult; neither would improve your standing with me.
- if you want to cook with chocolate, you ought to consider my dear mum "failed chocolate cake". An utter failure she won't display outside of the family. The chocolate kind of all glue together, and the cake change into a big chocolate crumble with some nuts of intense chocolate it in. Nap it with some vanilla light cream...

There is no upper limit to the amount of chocolate you can give me. Be sure, I'll be gratefull until I need some more.

White Chocolate forever.
