What's your favourite sort of chocolate?

[Andres]

But the heavy duty 80%+ dark chocolate I only find really enjoyable with good booze. Champagne is best. A fruity dark beer works well too.

Chocolate with booze? Chocolate with beer?



Barbarian ! BLASPHEMY !

Chocolate goes best with COFFEE !

You put your bar of chocolate (BELGIAN chocolate off course, may I suggest Côte d'Or) in your hot cup of coffee, put the slightly melting piece of chocolate covered with coffee in your mouth and enjoy...

Cheese, preferably Maredsous cheese, is to be eaten with beer. Maybe add some slices of salami.

But not chocolate!

For this one time I'll pretend I didn't read that post

Pure Cote d'Or chocolate, only Belgians can make chocolate

I am a barbarian and I have the axes to prove it.

But I am also an experinced chocoholic and I understand that culinary purity is complemented by diversity, not harmed by it. My buddy bought me a beer called McCraken Flowers, a very dark, fruity beer. 9.5% octane. A bit of an aquired taste. Then he told me try it with some good dark chocolate. I did and it was pretty tasty.

Until you have imbibed expensive champagne and nibbled on good chocolate while keeping pleasent company , you are missing a crucial slice of life.

Hard to pretend you didn't read it when you're busy responding to it, eh?

I'm not talking about putting mayonnaise on a Snicker's bar, I'm saying the proper marriage of good booze and good chocolate is a heavenly pleasure you should try before discounting.

You have a point stating that I can't judge without having tried it.

Ok, I'll accept the challenge

I have this bottle of dark Ename Trippel in my fridge and since tonight we're going to the supermarket, I'll buy a packet of Cote d'Or chocolate.

I'll give you the results of my little experiment asap.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Since the third element of the experiment consists of sweet, pleasant company , I can't promise to give the results before tomorrow morning evening And certainly not if I decide to try it also with those 5 bottles of Blonde Leffe, the 37,5 cl bottle of Gueuze and the 5 bottles of Ciney Blonde I still have in stock (in that case, you'll have to check the Drunkards Thread )

The experiment with champagne will not be for tomorrow. Don't want to open that nice bottle of Veuve Cliquot yet...

It goes well with some wines as well, (very)dark chocolate with a good pinot noir, excellent.

[SwordsMaster]

Dark, as dark as possible. I like my chocolate just as I like my coffee, it has to be little in quantity and very concentrated.

This is not to say I do not enjoy the other kinds, but if given the choice, i will go for the darkest one available.

Dark, hard and bitter. With coffee.

Darn it, I'm drooling now..... when can I leave work and run to the shop??!!

Bakers chocolate melted in water (or preferably milk). With just enough sugar to take the bite out of the bitterness. WOW! Powerful!

Sweet, powerful, mint with dark is my favorite.
