Chocolate vs. Vanilla

[Krieg]

The Aztecs did that without sweeteners. I think most tongues used to candy chocolate would cringe at chocolate without sugar and with chilies.

I think we can handle our Mole just fine thank you very much.

Chocolate is making a comeback!

And I can still see the results.

Vanilla is winning because vanilla is italicized.

... Tell me you know why it's italicized...

Why should I know? I'm not the one that made the poll.

Yes, still visible.

Why should I know? I'm not the one that made the poll.

It's not obvious when there are only two choices, but the italicized one is the one you voted for (so we know how mojo voted )

Whichever option you vote for becomes italicized. For me, chocolate is italicized.

Chocolate is good, especially as a candy, but vanilla is quite simply better. As an odor, it's far, far sexier too.

Hell, I'm drinking some vanilla as I type thisjkl. ow. blind

On a related note, and not to hijack the thread, I've always wanted to try hot chocolate the way the Aztecs did, with jalepenos in it. Has anyone here? What did you think?

I think this is a thread that it is more than safe to hijack.

Rick Bayless (a chef of Mexican cuisine who has a show on PBS; he also appeared on Iron Chef America) did hot chocolate with chilis in it, though I can't remember if they were jalepenos or not. He did it halfway between American and Aztec, though; it was still sweetened. His version was more spicey than outright hot, from what he said.
