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?

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, 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>

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

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...

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

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

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.)

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