Before I get to my main point because I know at least one person is gonna say it: YES I FUCKING KNOW THAT WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT TECHNICALLY CHOCOLATE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN COCOA BEANS/COCOA SOLIDS BUT IT DOES STILL CONTAIN COCOA BUTTER WHICH IS A PART OF THE COCOA BEANS AND IS STILL FUCKING DELICIOUS AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.I remember the first time my mom let me try a piece of chocolate when I was literally like 2 years old (and to let you know how important this memory is I barely remember anything else from that super young age) and I absolutely fell in love like I never had before. Then I found out that the kind I had just tried was called milk chocolate and that dark and white chocolate existed too and I begged my mom to get me those as well and she told me I probably wouldn't like the dark chocolate because it was too bitter for a small child like me but boy was she wrong. And that's how I fell in love with milk, dark, and white chocolate. Milk, dark, and white chocolate have basically consumed my life ever since. Every since I was a little kid, after I finished a meal I was always rewarded with three pieces of chocolate, one milk, one dark, and one white and I've still kept that up to this day. I just can never stop thinking about them and if all foods ceased to exist I wouldn't even be mad as long as all 3 of those types of chocolates existed.And yes I know about the thing that goes something like some sort of disease or fungus is killing all the plants that give us stuff like chocolate, coffee, bananas, etc. which if it does cause chocolate to become extinct I will literally fucking kill myself because my life fucking sucks and small pleasures like chocolate is the only thing that keeps me going. But anyway I also love m&m's (as well as all chocolate candies but especially m&m's) and keep looking for dark and white chocolate m&m's but unfortunately most of the time I can only find milk chocolate m&m's and white chocolate m&m's
>>22123656are by far the hardest to find.But anyway yeah. I'll stop writing here because if I continued to go on about how much I love all 3 types of chocolate I might as well write the fucking Bible.
>>22123656>>22123658DIS NIGGA IS GAY 4 BEANS
>>22123656>>22123658Oh and how could I forget science discovering a whole fucking NEW chocolate to go with the awesome established trio! Seems like people are kind of conflicted on if it's an actual new type of chocolate or just some marketing gimmick but I still find it interesting and exciting. Haven't tried it for the record because stores near me don't seem to sell it. Have heard mixed opinions from people. I really hope to like it. If it does become an official part of the trio it'll make a new quartet looking like neapolitan ice cream colors with white chocolate representing the vanilla ice cream part, ruby chocolate representing the strawberry ice cream part, and obviously milk and dark chocolate just representing the chocolate ice cream part lol.
>>22123660I mean yeah? What's wrong with that? I'd consider myself pansexual and the beans have never betrayed me like human beings have in general regardless of gender. It's like for a relationship you have to change yourself just to please the other person and even after you do everything for them they just (figuratively, I don't hang around physically violent assholes) slap you in the face and say bye. But for my beans I don't have to do any of that. I can just eat them and be happy.
>>22123673>the beans have never betrayed me like human beings haveWanna tell us abt it?
okay wow um i do definitely love chocolate A LOT but still somehow not THIS much lmfao. this seems like the hyperfixation shit common in people with like autism adhd ocd or whatever i don't remember exactly which one but yeah. calling you an autist is just funnier though so i'll go with that
>>22123689Um do you mean about how the beans treat me well or how human beings have betrayed me? Either way I don't mind though since this is the internet and none of us are even registered so I have nothing to lose about talking about these issues.>>22123689I actually do have all three of those disorders you mentioned so you are right. Though after some Googling it might be more of a "special interest" than a hyperfixation because it seems like hyperfixations are more short-term while I've literally been obsessed with chocolate since I was 2 but it doesn't really matter. It seems to be both a special interest and a hyperfixation in my case.
>>22123708How the humans have betrayed u. I ask becauve ive been betrayed by these hoomans 2.
>>22123665It's just treated with citric acid during processing so it keeps a reddish color. It's not too different from how red velvet cake was from cocoa mixed with acidic buttermilk. People get confused with ruby chocolate and think it's something more interesting than it really is because they say it tastes fruity, but that's just the citric acid adding during processing too.
>>22123712Oh alright then. I just hope I don't get banned from here for being "off-topic" for talking about personal mental health experiences instead of food and cooking like I did on another board. I got banned for apparently being off-topic on another board and it was actually only a 1 day ban so I'm happy abour it but I'm extra cautious now. But anyway let's start with my most recent ex-girlfriend. She basically made me feel the best I ever had and treated me like the ideal person would treat me and basically acted like she liked everything about me but after literally just ONE day where he had a boring date where neither of us had much to talk about she suddenly switched gears completely. She started to list everything she didn't like about me and overall just basically accused me of being one big pity party who wants everyone to feel bad for him just because I'm open about my mental health and even smaller more petty things like she thinks my glasses are slightly too small for my face. And after that day she wanted nothing to do with me and blocked my number as well as blocking me on all her social media accounts. I thought I found someone who understood me after all these years of being neglected by everyone I know but nope. And it wasn't just because she was hot or whatever. In fact she was actually really ugly, about 300 pounds with a big nose and her hair dyed pink and orange, somewhat like the stereotypical feminist butch lesbian woman; but I looked past that because she seemed to accept me for me and we seemed to genuinely click so well and had so many of the same interests related to video games, anime, a bunch of nerdy shit in general, researching mental health, LGBTQ+ stuff, etc. But all of that thrown away just because of one bad date where he had no topics to talk about...
>>22123718Oh...that doesn't sound too good. But then again I do actually like red velvet cake a lot. Can't think of a common cake flavor I don't like. Red velvet seems to be somewhat unpopular but I do like it. I also like carrot cake which also seems to be commonly disliked.
>>22123740>And it wasn't just because she was hot or whatever. In fact she was actually really ugly, about 300 pounds with a big nose and her hair dyed pink and orange, somewhat like the stereotypical feminist butch lesbian womani'm sorry to say but that alone should've been a dead giveaway that she sucks. every woman i've met who fit into that criteria has been completely insufferable as well as borderline psychotic
>>22123740That sounds very much like what ive been throughIt ended because of something really petty n nonsensicalOf course its just an excuse, she just didnt want to be in the relationship anymoreI didnt like the way she went about it, but perhaps i wasnt able to give her what she wanted?Its sad but i think its the only way to move forward towards something better? Im not sure i wanna keep hold of these anger n self pity feelings.
>>22123656What are the best chocolates you’ve had and what are your daily drivers? Do you stock up on clearance chocolate after holidays or is a chocolate horde too much temptation?
>>22123740Sounds like you dodged a bullet there.Plenty of fish in the sea.
>>22123778Hmm those are legit very difficult questions to answer haha. I've literally enjoyed every chocolate I've ever eaten from very cheap to very expensive. I think the only "chocolate" I HATED was Palmer's chocolate, which seems to self-admit to not being real chocolate by having "chocolate flavored" written on the packaging. But I do enjoy even Hershey's chocolate despite it admittedly being inferior to the more expensive stuff. Honestly I don't really care about brand or how cheap or expensive it is. I usually buy cheap since that's what I can afford but I very rarely do get more expensive. I don't really keep track of brands but I guess I like some relatively more expensive brands like Ferrero Rocher, Lindt, Moser-Roth, Choceur, etc. And of course the good cheap stuff like m&m's, Snickers, Twix, KitKat, Almond Joy, etc. And there are also some really hard to find Brazilian chocolates I had very early in childhood such as Sonho De Valsa, Ouro Branco, and Tortuguita. In general I do love chocolate and caramel together though. Especially if it's dark chocolate and caramel or white chocolate and caramel which is surprisingly hard to find. Chocolate and peanut butter is great too. As well as chocolate and marshmallow. But hell yeah I definitely do stock up on clearance after holidays! My broke ass looks forward to those post-holiday low prices lol. But yeah the chocolate horde is indeed a huge temptation too.
>>22123656White chocolate is not actually chocolate.
>>22123858Pretty sure this is just a troll/joke response, if so ha-ha very funny, but in case not, from the first sentence in my original post: >>22123656>Before I get to my main point because I know at least one person is gonna say it: YES I FUCKING KNOW THAT WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT TECHNICALLY CHOCOLATE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN COCOA BEANS/COCOA SOLIDS BUT IT DOES STILL CONTAIN COCOA BUTTER WHICH IS A PART OF THE COCOA BEANS AND IS STILL FUCKING DELICIOUS AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>>22123745They both usually have cream cheese icing which might be why someone would dislike it. At least for red velvet since it's mostly just chocolate cake with red food coloring now. I guess I could see why someone might dislike carrot cake but it's pretty good too.
>>22123665I tried it and let me tell you it's really not all that. To me it tasted sort of like fruity white chocolate but also sour and way too strong with no subtlety. I would never buy it again myself though if it was offered to me I most likely wouldn't turn it down either. It definitely doesn't live up to the three pre-existing types of chocolates.
>>22123656What are your opinions on the topic of chocolate slavery?
>>22123656how fat are you?its insane what ur parents did to ur psyche they should be persecuted
>>22123870Really huh. I always assumed the cream cheese icing was most people's favorite part! If I recall correctly true high quality red velvet that's often expensive should be way different than just regular chocolate cake but unfortunately to save money they just end up giving us chocolate cake with red food coloring like you said. And yeah I love both red velvet and carrot cake.>>22123921Really huh. Yeah that doesn't sound very good at all. I might like it while you don't as food is a VERY subjective thing but I won't get my hopes up. >>22123931I almost completely forgot about this but of course slavery of any kind is bad. I'm no angel I admit but I am not a fucking monster. I wish we could get our chocolate and a whole lot of other things without slavery or people otherwise being exploited in many different ways...especially when they exploit children of all people which is just the fucking worst. >>22123935I am actually very skinny. I am a very skinny femboy. I'm a very good boy. Outside of the chocolate I exercise and eat healthy. Lots of fruits, veggies, meats, and other similar stuff. I also go on lots of walks and swim. And no my parents are very wonderful people.
>>22123980>I am a very skinny femboy. I'm a very good boy.The rest of what you wrote was good but did you really need to add that part in? That part alone ruined the rest of what you wrote. The rest of what you wrote is actually a pretty respectable adult conversation but then you come in with the "I'm such a cute femboy UwU" shit seemingly unironically and out of nowhere. It's not even funny and doesn't even work as a joke.
You just know OP is a fat fuck
>>22123870I'm of the belief that you'd have to be insane to hate cream cheese icing, but many people are insane. I also find that people make it far too sweet with too much added sugar, and going harder into the savory side is how you really make it sing with things like cake.
>>22123656I really like chocolate too but only if it's not too sweet, so I dislike almost all milk chocolate and all white chocolate. There's also plenty of dark chocolate that's just sweetened way too much to be enjoyable.
>>22123656Is chocolate a mid-food? With a low skill ceiling? Have you ever had a fine expensive chocolate that truly showed what can be accomplished with it?
>>22124324Not OP. IMO>cheap chocolates range from literal goyslop with fillers and flavorings and soi, to just low quality mediocre stuff with way too much sugar>good chocolate can be had for mid-range prices, you have to seek it out but it's not some kinda luxury>hazelnut praline of various kinds is god-tier, good gianduja can also be had for mid-range prices>other chocolate-based sweets can be as extravagant as you like and IMO hyper luxury sweets aren't directly related to the appreciation of chocolate itself>luxury actual chocolate also exists (like single-estate coffee beans and whatnot) but paying out of the ass for it is not worth itGood quality chocolate bars and some decent confectionaries to your own taste is all anybody needs. If you're actually wealthy then you can buy some $100/50g single estate artisanal chocolate bars instead and in most cases they will be mildly more enjoyable than cheaper stuff, it's kinda like buying high end coffee beans or teas.Usually when people talk about "luxury chocolates" they mean expensive chocolate-based confectionaries and sweets, and IMO at some point you're not really paying for the chocolate at all. It's like if you really like chicken so you go to a luxury restaurant and pay $150 for a michelin chef to prepare you chicken stuffed with caviar cooked in some pretentious sauce and arranged in a little pyramid on your plate with flakes of some rare herbs and truffle slices and shit. Yeah it's tasty but you're not actually paying $150 for chicken and you're not there to enjoy the taste of chicken.
>>22124324Choco bars are mid, cocoa as ingredient is good. Add it to chili.
>>22124021the faggotry knows no bounds
>>22124021Nta but kys faggot
>>22123665this is like when they add a random off color power ranger in season 2
>>22123656for me, it's peanut m&ms
>>22124550I honestly can't think of a single m&m's flavor I dislike/hate. Even the more mediocre ones that are much less impressive (like some of the limited time event or holiday event ones that didn't quite catch on) it's like it's still chocolate candy with a hard candy shell. I do agree with peanuts being one of my favorites though. I especially liked dark chocolate peanut and white chocolate peanut. I'm pretty sure one time they even did a milk + white + dark chocolate peanut mix combo pack which was just the best. Beyond that pretzel, peanut butter, crispy, almond, dark chocolate mint, white chocolate candy corn, dark chocolate coconut, white chocolate carrot cake, white chocolate lemon meringue pie, caramel, coffee, birthday cake, etc...all great m&m flavors. And then there's minis and megas but those are the same as regular m&m's just literally a different size lol.And beyond that I also like the m&m characters! I just always thought they were funny and charming despite being so simple. There's 7 of them now. The sarcastic red male one, the goofy yellow male one, the cowardly and anxious orange male one, the cool laid-back blue male one, the intelligent and professional no bullshit brown female one, the quirky and eccentric purple female one, and the sassy and somewhat vain "sexy" green female one (though recently they've been moving away from the sexy part of her personality as I think they realized it was too weird). My favorite would likely be the orange one because he sort of personifies my anxiety perfectly, similar to Tweek from South Park.
>>22124096Don't call me fat you fuckin' Jew!
For me I ordered a giant bag of dutch chocolate. I am making hot cocoa with it every night. Live laugh love
>>22124536Shit this is so fucking accurate. Could also apply to any time in general they randomly add a new character to an established cast for no reason and everyone ends up hating it. Some unironic examples could be Scrappy Doo or Chibiusa. Some shows have done parodies of this such as Pinky and the Brain and Larry, Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie, and the 3 Powerpuff Girls and Bunny. Basically showing that an established cast is sacred and you shouldn't mess with it just because you can.
>>22124933>and the 3 Powerpuff Girls and Bunny.>Some shows have done parodies of this such as>Some unironic exampleswith the 2016 reboot they basically went from parody to unironic with bliss. bliss even reuses bunny's color scheme. apparently the original creators weren't even contacted. they completely missed the point of the original show
>>22123656Really unpopular opinion and I'm 100% ready to be crucified for it but white chocolate is the only one that I like, or in other words I don't like real chocolate. Whenever I express this in real life people look at me as if I grew a second head and when expressing this online I've even gotten death threats over it.
>>22125207Wow your so special! Has anyone told you how different you are? Thats like really cool that your different. You should tell people how different and special you are. Everyone totallly cares about what food you like. Make sure you tell everyone about it.
>>22125207same here but probably for a different reason than you. whenever i eat milk or dark chocolate for some reason i get these weird bumps on my face that are rather painful, it's especially bad with dark chocolate, i assume because of the higher cocoa percentage. none of this happens with white chocolate
>>22125210>Picrel GIF is only for you, not the other guy.Holy fucking fucking shit dude who pissed in your cereal? You take my perfectly innocuous reply and use it as an opportunity to be as sarcastic and as much of a dick as possible? I'd like to see you act like this in real life and see how long you last out there. I dare you to act like this in real life. >>22125249Sorry to hear and I would say that sucks but for me I hate milk and dark chocolate anyway without being allergic to them so for me it makes no difference. Sucks if you do want to eat it though and can't. I have an allergy to peanuts and almonds which sucks for me since I love peanuts and almonds.
>>22125291If you told me you liked white chocolate in real life, I would legally rape you with the governments permission.
>>22125207>and when expressing this online I've even gotten death threats over it.Wait you got DEATH THREATS online for saying you like white chocolate?! Assuming you're not being hyperbolic that's fucking insane...I wish I could say I didn't believe you. People online can be massive bullies. I believe there have been several cases of artists online drawing an established character slightly too skinny or their skin slightly lighter than usual and because of that people began to send them a million death threats, dox them, swat them, etc. to the point that some of them have even killed themselves over it or tried to. And that's not even half the story.
>>22124021It's 2026 my dude. You need to grow up.
>>22124521Wait how am I the faggot if he's the one bringing up that he's a "femboy" and "a very good boy" out of nowhere? >>22125410Same thing. How am I the one who needs to grow up?
>>22125479It's just a fucking meme bro. It's not that serious. Since the other guy insulted him he was just trying to make things awkward on purpose.
>>22123656>WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT TECHNICALLY CHOCOLATESeethe tranny, I will still eat white chocolate.
this reminds me that i have a bag of cocoa butter and i should try making my own white chocolate
>>22125530OP is literally on the same side as you lmfao. Why are you trying to fight? In that very same sentence you quoted that's in all caps he said>BUT IT DOES STILL CONTAIN COCOA BUTTER WHICH IS A PART OF THE COCOA BEANS AND IS STILL FUCKING DELICIOUS AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.That's the online equivalent of shooting a soldier who is on your side in war.
>>22123665Don't know why but this pic reminds me so strongly of Steven Universe. Probably the pink color plus the way the chocolate is cut makes it look like some sort of gem or diamond or something. I don't know. Maybe I'm just so unhealthily obsessed with Steven Universe that anything pink reminds me of it. And yes the name "ruby chocolate" itself reminds me of Steven Universe being named after a gem who was a very important character in the show.
Of course white chocolate is chocolate you nigger, it's COCOA BUTTER, the main flavor of chocolate comes from the fat
>>22125607The main flavor comes from the cocoa solids. If you put cocoa powder in something it'll still taste chocolately even without cocoa butter. White chocolate almost always has milk and vanilla added and that's mostly what it tastes like. I don't dislike it but I can understand why some people say it's not really chocolate.
>>22125604if you unironically like steven universe then i'm sorry to say but you're fucking retarded no other way around it. it's most likely the worst thing i've ever seen that's not a joke or intentionally bad. people on the internet have talked about to death about how terrible it is so i won't even go into the details go search it up yourself if you want but it's just one of the worst things i've ever seen. a few good moments and a few catchy songs and one or two good characters max do absolutely not make up for how bad the rest is
>>22123656I know OP has mentioned not being fat...but that's not me. I'm a 300+ pound American and proud and just looking at this picture is making me hungry as fuck. I can't decide which I should eat first. Should I start with the most sweet (white) or the most bitter (dark) or the middle ground (milk)? Aw fuck it. I'll take a piece of all three and put all three in my mouth at the same time so I can enjoy me some triple chocolate.
>>22125729>I'm a 300+ pound American and proudEh I wouldn't be so proud of that if I were you for the sake of your own health and safety but it's not my medical bills so do whatever the hell you want I don't really care.
>>22123656i always thought it was funny how the three types of chocolates more or less represented the different main human skin colors. you got white chocolate for white people, dark chocolate for black people, and then milk chocolate could be for any race with tannish skin such as hispanic or indian or whatever. of course that's an extreme oversimplification but i just always thought it was funny. if you wanted closer accuracy though i guess you could include shit like caramel, coffee, peanut butter, etc. for more specific different shades
>>22125779That's retarded but at the same time I do kind of see where you're coming from.
>>22123665Even though pink is allegedly its "natural" color it somehow still manages to look artificial as fuck.
>>22125779where do asians fit
>>22126353depends on the asian. if we're talking just eastern asian and not counting southern asian at all then they can be white as fuck like white chocolate or really tan like milk chocolate. then for southern asians there do exist some who are white as fuck though rarer and they can be as dark as dark chocolate because obviously there are some southern asians as dark as black people
>>22123656It has always amazed me just how much darker dark chocolate is than milk chocolate. I mean it's in the name and all but still. Both are shades of brown but VERY different shades of brown.
>>22123656This feels like an interacial fantasy sort of
>>22126645Shit it really fucking does. Doesn't help that the three chocolate types are all naturally occuring skin colors in humans. This >>22123665 isn't unless you perhaps count sunburns or rosacea but I'm not sure if it counts anyway.
>>22123665At first I was really excited when hearing about it for the first time ever but now after seeing people's reviews about it all that excitement has completely died. It sounds like it tastes like fucking shit. When it comes to food I generally tend to agree with the majority of people with few exceptions so I won't even bother wasting my money on that crap.
>>22123656>>22123858>>22125607>>22125530Funny how whether white chocolate is actually chocolate or not is so widely debatable lol. People just can't come to a consensus on it.
>>22126931For real. It's like just in case it's not chocolate fine it's not chocolate. But what SHOULD we be calling it instead though? "Cocoa butter bar? Chocolate butter? Chocolate fats?"
>>22126937not bad names but unnecessary as i don't think semantics are that important to rename a food that's been around for about 100 years at this point. kinda unrealistic to expect people who have been calling it white chocolate their whole lives to suddenly start calling it something else
>>22123656Call me elitist and you'd probably be right but if you like anything other than dark chocolate then you're not a real chocolate lover. Chocolate is only real chocolate when it's as dark as the night.
>>22123656i would do a you you you NOT YOU >>22123665 meme with the chocolate types but i don't know how/am too lazy lol. like something like "thank you for being NOT YOU delicious treats everyone of all ages can enjoy." though there's only 4 types of chocolates to make it work
>>22127389Don't know if it was intentional on your end or not but the fact that this is a thread about chocolate and you picked out a picrel of a show where most of the cast is Black and in the specific image of the show 6/9 of the cast is Black is just sort of ironic to me. Also kinda fitting that the not you guy is a White guy.
>>22127395yeah um no that wasn't even remotely what i was getting at. i just used the wire because it's an amazing tv show, arguably the best tv show of all time in general according to A LOT of people, and the guy in the center of the pic was known for being SUPER annoying in that show which worked perfectly for the story but doesn't make him likable
>>22127411The fact that he reached that conclusion is just sad lol. I mean come the fuck on how racist can you be?
