The chocolate question


People have very different tastes when it comes to chocolates. I suppose if you are eating something purely because it tastes nice you want it to be filled with things you like and if it isn't filled with something you enjoy eating then it has failed in it's cause.

Which is why I've been pondering the chocolate question. Should you date someone who likes the same chocolates or someone who likes different chocolates?

If they like the same chocolates then they clearly have good taste and you can bond over how nut clusters really are fine things and perhaps even become close by looking down on the people who like nougat. However ultimately you may come to blows because you will be fighting over the same chocolates in a mixed box.

Or you could date someone who likes different chocolates to you? So if you receive a box of mixed ones together you can happily polish off the whole container with each having total domain over the centres they like. Sadly I think over time the fact that they are the sort of reprobate who actually enjoys eating a strawberry dream might get to you. I mean if they enjoy that sort of unpleasant thing in their mouth who knows what other depravities might they be into?

It's one of those questions that isn't really about chocolates and probably doesn't have a right answer.

It's all irrelevant to those of us who nobody bought an Easter egg for *sniff*

Maybe you can nip around on your virtual motorbike and, like a slightly belated Milk Tray Man, deposit something lovely in my boudoir.

Must. Resist. Making. Double entendres.

I just endured a mild supermarket squabble about dairy products.

Now I've run through Trader Joe's chanting, "you're scared of beer cheese," as if that were a true deal breaker.

I'd buy him a box of choccies to apologize, but god knows what type of battle that would spark.

Pistols at dawn, probably...

WTF is beer cheese anyway? All I know is it's made from hormone-free milk (good), matured 120 days in stout (bad?) and German (could be ugly).

I have a wedge of the stuff in the fridge, but am not in a suitable mood for experimentation at the mo... Any advice would be most welcome.

Amanda - I know people who are scared of blue cheese. I've never had beer cheese so I don't know how fearsome it is, but I want some now.
