Chocolate vs. Vanilla

[Wolf72]

Vanilla all the way ... if I want some chocolate i can add some chocolate syrup ...

(...) 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?

Yep --- very good. I've made a cocoa & hot milk with a bit of ground allspice and chipotle, with a bit less sugar than usual to give it a bitter edge. You don't want it hot, just a bit peppery to the tongue (like strawberries n' black pepper).

If you like Mexican drinks, try atole. A weird-but-good cornmeal beverage. You can spice that up, too.

Speaking (?) of sweets and jalepenos, I keep thinking I should try jalepeno jelly, but I'm scared to. I really like spicy stuff, but I'm not a big fan of mixing sweets with salts and I'm afraid there'd be some similarity.

Ew. That does sound scary. It *might* not suck, but I don't think I'd risk it...

Jalapeno helly? That's good too. Especially on cornbread.

God, I really have to eat something that doesn't have chilies in it.

That's where I've been (not risking) for a few years. It seems like everyone who finds out I like spicy Thai, though, immediately says, "Hey, you should try jalepeno jelly." Of course none of them have ever tried it.

The cornbread idea sounds good... er... passible, though. I think it's only $1.50 or some such. Maybe I'll try that sometime, just so I can have an informed opinion.

Why?

Some things are better vanilla, and some are better chocolate. For Valentine's Day, I got a bar of 67% dark chocolate and ate it with a tall glass of vanilla soymilk. I like my ice cream vanilla, but my cake chocolate. I can't make a choice.

Chocolate pulled within 4 or 5 votes a while ago. We're losing ground now. :\
