Jody <BR>Excellent! So I should pack a pound of chocolate "for medicinal purposes"!

Book Chick Sep 4th, 2001 05:51 AM

More importantly, can we bring back a few dozen pounds for purposes of self-medication????? <BR>BC

Think my HMO will cover it if I get a doctor's prescription?

Capo Sep 4th, 2001 07:16 AM

It's gotta be dark, though. :~)

See Chocolate is good for the heart as well as the soul. No surprise to me! Now I will be looking for the flight attendents coming down the aisle with cups of hot chocolate! Callebaut for international travel and Hersey's for domestic.

JOdy, I LOVE you, finally an excuse to indulge in my favorite thing in the whole world. Now I just have to find reasons for making that long flight! (not to mention the money!)

Ursula Sep 4th, 2001 10:21 AM

yeah... only dark chocolate!

Capo Sep 4th, 2001 10:34 AM

Ursula, I was never a big fan of dark chocolate until my first trip to the continent, to Germany & Switzerland, in 1980. It once seemed to strong, too bitter...but now milk chocolate seems too bland by comparison. <BR> <BR>

Book Chick Sep 4th, 2001 10:38 AM

Statistics on fans of dark chocolate: they have a more sophisticated palate, occupy the minority of chocolate lovers in the USA, tend to be college-educated & earn more money than fans of milk or white chocolate. <BR> <BR>Capo, thanks for the invitation. (I'm starting to feel the strong pull of the Bay of Angels, shellfish galore, and lots of dark chocolate.......) <BR> <BR>BC

Ursula Sep 4th, 2001 11:11 AM

BC: See.. we are the real connoisseurs! When you go to a nice coffee place here, you usually get a small chocolate with it... dark, of course! <BR>White chocolate, ugh. :-(

We fell in love with Swissair when they passed out chocolate bars instead of peanuts...

Linda Sep 4th, 2001 11:42 AM

Dark, the ONLY way to go! Now we're finding out who on this board has "the more sophisticated palate".

Ursula Sep 4th, 2001 11:55 AM

Linda, welcome to the club! :-) <BR> <BR>Elvira,.. and now you always fly Swissair? What about taking some chocolate with you, when flying a different air line? <BR>Folks, try the "Teuscher" chocolate truffles. I think they are sold in the US, too. At least in NYC. <BR>www.teuscher.com

AGM/Cape Cod Sep 4th, 2001 11:55 AM

Dark of course!

Jody Sep 4th, 2001 11:57 AM

Another one for Dark

Linda Sep 4th, 2001 12:00 PM

Jody, now how did I know that?

Capo Sep 4th, 2001 12:09 PM

I propose a new slogan... <BR> <BR>Got Dark? <BR> <BR> <BR>(My apologies to our European chocolate aficionados, who may not get the reference.)

s.fowler Sep 4th, 2001 12:12 PM

And let me "weigh in" here -- DARK ;) <BR>Swissair also serves good ice cream :) [and has *cute* stewards -- sorry Capo:)]
