Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Due to a lack of supply in a shop, I recently had to try dark chocolate instead of the usual milk chocolate which I have. At first taste I wondered how the hell anyone had managed to get away with putting manure into a wrapper but soon after the tasted dawned on me and now it's Bournville all the way! :shrug:

Dark chocolate is also much better for you because of the antioxidants :) Can't be bad. http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/73/81921.htm

Which do you prefer?

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

So where's the option for milk chocolate...?

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

(Whoops, on the poll plain chocolate is meant to be milk chocolate) :rolleyes:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Can you change the option 1 please Russ? :)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Dark choclate always leaves a funny taste in my mouth. It has to be milk or white for me.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

deffo plain for me. Plain choc Bounties are great

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Lovelyââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦..milky milkyââ‚ƚ¬Ã‚¦.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

I love dark chocolate. My mouth's watering at the thought of it - I'm going to have to go and buy some now! :drool:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

GOD!! yeeeeeeeeeeees!! Errr...... yep that's very good....... much better than the stomach churning milk version ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

dark chocy is supposed to have something in it that's good for your heart (in moderation) - I read recently.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3185363.stm

http://www.chocolate.org/health/darkchocolate.html

"...Dark chocolate contains plant substances called polyphenols - ingredients scientists think are responsible for the heart-healthy attributes of red wine. Polyphenols also have been shown to lower blood pressure in animals..."

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Depends on my mood if just chocolate and what's inside it if filled.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

mmm Milk, or Dark, Milk or Dark, Milk or Dark, Milk or Dark mmm Who cares as long as its not white!!

Good quaility chocolate is important and the fresher the better. ONe had some Terrys All Gold that was off so sent it back and the box they replaced it was so fresh it was completely different to the chocolate off the shelf in a shop.

If you like dark chocolate try the Starbuck far trade Dark Chocolate. Its expensive but mmmmmmmmmmmm its worth it.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

dark as long as it not that 85% cocoa stuff :sick: :D :D :D :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Now while this is incredibly expensive........ it's INCREDIBLY good :D
It's a praline ganache type centre with pistachios covered in a layer of plain chocolate......... :drool:

I offered some to a work colleague who doesn't like chocolate but she tried it just to shut me up :blush: and now she's told me that she's ordering some for xmas :D

Oh and it's a handy 15 inches long :naughty:
What more could a girl ask for :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

When I am in a chocolaty mood it makes me wish I was back living in York where many of the neighbours worked for Rowntrees or Terrys and kept us supplied with lots from the factory shop. Both fresh and very cheap.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

:drool: How much?

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Errrr.You forgot the I don't care what it is as long as it's CHOCOLATE option.

Incog. :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Milk chocolate definately !!!
It has to be real chocolate though and not be full of cocoa powder.

The worst chocolate I've ever eaten was from Whoolworths and was a bar of their value range !!! Disgusting !!! :sick:

I used to love the Galaxy Fruit and Nut for its meltingness over Cadbury's hardness equivilant.

All in all, Chocolate is very nice.

Which makes me think of chocolate Brownies... must make some soon.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

What do you think chocolate is made of? :D :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Rowntrees has a ring main which carries molten chocolate around the site - literally 'on tap'. :cool:

I voted for dark, which I prefer, milk is ok - and white is just disgusting :)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Milk chocolate for me - although anything at a push!
This site is pretty good :drool: http://www.theobroma-cacao.co.uk/
and I've just joined the Chocolate Tasting Club at www.chocs.com - I can recommend it!! :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Why am I the only person who doesn't like chocolate round here :confused:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Because you are unique and like other things....... ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Looks like I should expand my product range...! ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Cos most of the 'chocolate' sold in this country is nasty vegetable fat with a bit of cocoa butter added.

You need to try some real chocolate - 70% cocoa at absolute minimum; 85% if possible. If you've got a posh Waitrose nearby they sell some fabulous imported choc - you'll never look at a Twirl again ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Dark. :)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

It would have to be milk chocolate can't stomache dark makes me :sick: but then i am weird

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

saying that i have been to the US recently and got to try some hershies among other things and thought it was horrible as it tasted so different.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Whose silly idea was it to do a thread on this. :disturbd: :D Bang goes my diet. :(

Would normally go for milk, but dark is nice for a change.

How come if so many seem to prefer dark, (based on the curent poll results)the leading brands are milk :confused:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

For Hersheys they use sour milk :(

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

£29.95 :spin: but guess what? I DON'T CARE!!! and i did get one sent to me a week ago by a friend or should that be saint ....... so it was even cheaper :p:



Well, if you can get it to vibrate as well......... i say GO FOR IT GRAHAM!! ;) :D


Like someone else has already mentioned in this thread....... i now find it almost impossible to eat cheaper chocolate or at least that found in most supermarkets and newsagents and i put that down to having got used to eating more 'refined' chocolate......... and my last trip to Geneva where i returned with 2 bags of the stuff can't have helped either :D

Boxes of Roses and Milk Tray only get eaten when there's nothing else and my hormones are making me rabid and dangerous :shrug: :)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Milk everytime unless I'm abroad for some reason then it's got to be dark!? (Explain that one!)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

marina, what is this called? where can you get it from?

EDIT : Oopsie I thought there was only 1 page on the thread :dunce:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Never touch the stuff :tu:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

milk chocolate is my fav, i will eat dark chocolate but it has to be an expensive brand :p:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Hi Kliro :) It's called Grande Chocolate Log and is available from http://www.hotelchocolat.com/cx1/

It's expensive but no one that has tried it has denied it's gorgeousness yet :D
I've bought it for 4 different friends and each has gone on to buy their own and also as presents :shrug: BUT it's only available from October until January...... which would appear to be the only thing stopping me from being about 20 stones in weight ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Any chocolate filled with alcohol liquers are very nice :)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

I think I'm going to trust your opinion with £30 of my birthday money :)

Looks divine.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

trust her opinion of chocolate & coffee - nothing else, well maybe biscuits, but that's :notopic:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

is that where you plug your chocolight in?

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

after you have conched it, yes ;)

- very good :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

:erm: I'm scared now....... actually, you can ask chimaera since she's been given some as well....... if you don't like it i'll find it hard to forgive myself :cry: and might have to make myself feel better by buying lots of expensive Grande Chocolate log :eek: ;)


Mmmmm........ soooooooooo off topic i have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about :LOL: I think you should pm me oh strange one and explain ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

White chocolate is just wrong.
Tastes just not nice.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

What is it with women and chocolate?? So many moan about blokes seeking solace in lager but women and the edible brown stuff....now there's a curious relationship!

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Milk chocolate all the way. I like some dark chocolate, but white chocolate can stay off my list :erm:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

White chocolate is not only evil but it's an oxymoron...... which kind of explains the sort of people that like it....... :eek: ;)






NB. Am only joking about white chocolate eaters........... they're not morons........ just evil :p:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

It's not strange at all :) Have you not read the studies done that show how chocolate contains elements that stimulate the pleasure zones in the brain....... and therefore elsewhere ;)
When women say that they prefer it to sex.......... some of them mean it AND for good reason :D


Edit: men can keep their lager...... it giveth and then it taketh away........ but chocolate, it simply GIVETH!!! :naughty: ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Yep! Next time she-indoors moans about my love affair with lager I'll come out with "blokes drink it to stimulate our pleasure brains"......erm, only I have neither a she-indoors or a love affair with ANY alcoholic beverage....... :disturbd:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Heh, need not worry any more, I asked my mum if I could use her card to buy a £30 chocolate log off the internet and she thought I was off my rocker and refused :rolleyes: Even though I'd have given her the money. Well, suppose Mum knows best. :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

You never know....... if i get the job i'm going for on Friday....... i might buy you one myself :)

Keep your fingers crossed and you'll have your own 15 incher ;) :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

That's too kind! I couldn't accept it!

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Oh............ ok :LOL:

Well i wouldn't want to force anything on you..... or have your mother say i was leading you astray :eek: ;)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

amaretto :D

oh forgetful one ;

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Amaretti? :confused: ;)

But since amoretto means little love or even little loved one........ i'll forgive you....... oh little loved one :kiss: ;)

From the Oh Diazepamed One...... :spin:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Milk chocolate, simple as ;)

Brother went cadbury's world today as well... mmmmmmm :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Don't they do a smaller one?

My wife would love it but if I said I was giving her 15 inches she would die of shock, think I'd been replying to all those dodgy emails. :D :D :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

oo-ps

did I try to be bigger than I am ? :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

I remember going there when I was about 12.
It was quality. You could eat as much chocolate.
They also had these cars in the form of a chocolate egg. I wanted one of those.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

What a pleasant way to go though ;) :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

I've not seen one........ think it's the only size they have :shrug: ....... oh go on ianathuth...... give your wife a thrill!! (I'm referring to the chocolate) the only problem for you would be that she might get used to it and expect that sort of size in future :eek: ;)

Which brings us nicely back to those sites you mentioned....... and how you'll really have to visit them sooner than you'd like :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Any chocolate.


Although I prefer the real stuff, like Green & Blacks... :drool:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Cadburys used to do these mini Chirstmas Puddings that tasted very nice and had two halves, so you could give one to your girlfriend, or keep it for yourself lol.
Then they poisoned them by adding almond flavouring and that was the end of these wonderful chocolate Christmas puddings.
I miss them.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Are you talking about Manchester or in your post? :naughty: ;)

Will log off before i embarrass both of us :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Oi, I could say that I ain't cutting any off for no-one, but that would be bragging. :D :D :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

We are still talking about the Grande Chocolate Log aren't we? This is the chocolate thread after all :dozey:
But then if you don't want people to cut any off the end........ i suppose they'll just have to get their mouths round it and bite it off :angel:

Think you may prefer the snip option :p:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

i prefer dark chocolate. All chocolate is good tho!!!! :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

ahhhhhhh but what dark chocolate ??????? , the real dark bitter stuff or thee nice bournville type stuff ????????? :angel:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

White chocolate for me (Diabetic chocolate)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

too sickly :sick: sorry :(

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Keeps you regular tho ;) :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

If i was to try a normal piece of chocolate then a diabetic piece, i wouldnt be able to tell the difference in the taste.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

tell you what then post me some and i will tell you what i think :disturbd: , i was meaning more about the white chocolate though :disturbd: :D :D :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Oh yes the Grand Chocolate Log - anyone thinking of buying one DON'T THINK ABOUT IT JUST DO IT!!!!!!
And as it's the right time of year who knows - I may even get another one for Christmas! :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Dark chocolate is just :sick:

The only dark chocolate that I can eat is the chocolate on Jaffa Cakes. :)

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

so dark chocolate is :sick: but you eat it on jaffa's :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Yes. It's not that bad on Jaffa Cakes. I suppose that it mixes in with the orange and the cake.

But I cannot stand dark/plain chocolate.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

i reckon you might be right there :angel: :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

Has anyone tried Irish Cream Rolo's?

I quite like them.

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

The real dark bitter stuff when using it in cooking, making sweets or cakes and bournville for stuffing my face with. :D
It's funny because my favourite sweets (Malteasers and Matchsticks) are made from milk.
That's probably because i'm strange!!! :p:

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
 

PROBABLY???!!!!! ;) :D

Re: Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
