[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2336755, member: 25851"] I also prefer my actual chocolate to be 100% - the last time I bought any it was from Montezumas and, although fine if you want to eat a little chocolate, seems very grainy if you try to make hot chocolate with it (my style, ie chocolate buttons and hot water). For some reason I have never tried making a savoury dish with it, although I keep thinking I should. I used to eat the kind of not-chocolate that we bought in the 50s and 60s (Cadbury's etc) but haven't really thought of that as chocolate for some time. I would probably still eat it as a "candy" if I could. But chocolate it isn't (in my opinion). Occasionally, Neil will have a tiny bit of 100% chocolate, but one little pack of it will last him a long, long time. Recently he bought some carob flakes, similar to normal chocolate - no added sugar obviously, but carob is pretty sweet anyway. Nice little treat, once in a while. I notice that it's not going down very fast. I had thought that the language of the Aztecs had completely disappeared under the influence of Spanish, but I see that it is still spoken, perhaps in a modified form. Possibly, like gaelic, it is in danger of fading away. I hope not. It's sad to lose any part of humanity's culture - although I think we can probably do without the kind of terrorist activities that the Aztecs used to use. Same with some of the less pleasant aspects of gaeldom. Neil doesn't even shake hands. Not his kind of thing. But he is overcoming some of his dislike of human company, now that he's in his 50s. Em has helped with that - not that she's allowed to hug him, but he did, once in a while, lift her up. Not now, of course, that she's a young lady. And once he actually accepted a hug from her - when she was about 2! [/QUOTE]
