It's funny when Americans get Cadbury chocolate and act like it's "the fancy stuff" because it doesn't taste like drywall and paste.

Milk chocolate is mostly just sweet. I don't mind milk chocolate, and it can go nicely with nuts or whatever, but on its own it's just not particularly good. Dark chocolate is actually nice enough to eat by itself.

 SwissDonkey posted:I like fruit cake, black liquorice (including 'salty') and loving love super dark chocolate. I also drink my coffee as strong as possible, black with no sugar and am all over smelly, moldy cheeses. You're all missing out, seriously. Strong flavors are the best flavors.  BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:It's funny when Americans get Cadbury chocolate and act like it's "the fancy stuff" because it doesn't taste like drywall and paste. America has some good chocolate, but you have to not be an idiot, and not buy cheap garbage poo poo like Hershey's (though even that tastes edible to me, because as an American I have been conditioned to accept vomit taste in cheap milk chocolate). I'm sure there are parts of the country where it's hard to find good chocolate though, and I'm glad I've never been to those places. cash crab posted:My ex and I used to play Jelly Roulette. We'd take a few boxes of these and dump these out onto the bed. Whoever could get to the end without vomiting won! My ex lost after getting the barf one, apparently it's extremely accurate. I am ashamed to say that I haven't eaten jelly beans since i was like 13. I need some barf beans.

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:No, not at all. Wedding cake in the US is less edible than that, with more rolled fondant, sculpted fondant, architectural fondant, fondant-bearing fondant, and insulating fondant. There might actually be some cake involved in it somewhere, supported by dowels and cardboard so it doesn't crash through the fondant. Some of you might be laughing at this post but holy poo poo it's pretty accurate My sister insisted on an enormous fondant cake for her wedding, against the advice of pretty much everyone. "Sis, it's gross and has the texture of drywall putty; nobody's gonna eat it, just go with the regular frosting so you can serve something actually edible." "NO I MUST HAVE THE PRETTIEST CAKE AND FONDANT IS PRETTY, EVERYONE WILL EAT IT AND LOVE IT"

Fondant is a cruel trick someone made up to disappoint children and people ran with it because you can make a cake that looks like it was molded from plastic.

The Ferret King posted:High percentage chocolate comes off as sour or tart to me. I think it's my bitter sense being hosed into submission or something. I like strong coffee but chocolate doesn't sit well with me without plenty of sugar. You guys should try getting cool mail-order chocolate from https://www.chocosphere.com . There are some amazing brands out there, and wait till you learn to detect the difference between Ecuadorian Arriba and Venezuelan Criollo and all the rest. It's not candy; a bar will last you a week or two. It's about appreciating the taste for the half-hour or whatever that a chunk of it stays in your mouth and sinuses. You want tartness and sourness in chocolate? Get yourself a bar of Domori Sambirano 70%. poo poo tastes like sour cherries. So loving great. And then there are the Madagascar single-origins from Valrhona, many of which taste like peanuts. It's a whole new wooooorld

You can make anything with fondant; it's edible sculpture!  But buying big sheets of it and draping it over a nice moist cake is a crime.

pandaK posted:No issues with quality milk chocolate, but really any good milk chocolate I've had could have been enhanced if it was dark chocolate Sometimes you just want a creamy taste that lasts and lasts. Even very good dark choc I find to be too thin and watery sometimes and I just lust for some smooth choc. But yeah the baseline for good choc here in the UK: Green and Blacks. It's good chocolate you find literally everywhere here and they make a damned good dark, 70 and 85%. Should we just rename this thread to PYF Food? Speaking of Fondant and Fondant like things: Marzipan is an affront to nature. And especially: gently caress dark chocolate marzipans.

The little nuggets of meat in a fish face are some of the best bites, and curry is almost synonymous with "good."
