Title: Chocolate Thread
Post by: Steve G. on March 27, 2024, 12:40:09 PM


  During coffee this morning, the quick subject of chocolate sort of happened. I consider myself very much an expert in such things. I even recently searched out and found the location of the worlds top price #1 chocolate on earth 2023 multi gold medal winner, Villa Cocoa, in the hills  50 kms inland above Puerto Vallarta, in a rural area .

  Ross mentioned Whittaker’s brand out of New Zealand.  Very nice stuff. I wanted to point out what I think is superior, and locally available Ontario made  Waterbridge , specifically their caramel and sea salt milk chocolate. Only found at London Drugs.

Me too.  My favourite is Sees, out of California.  I also like Purdy's, but only the caramel ones.  Milk chocolate

Bill there used to be Ross's Chocolate in Soda Creek  (near your place I think)   Their specialty was non-sugar chocolate so were okay for my daughter to eat and they had a great texture.  I believe they might also be London Dugs only however that may have changed over time.

 Purdy's Tiger Butter squares are heavenly.

What the heck does chocolate have to do with classic motorcycles?  I thought this site was for motorcycles.

Ross, it all goes together.   If one is interested in motorcycles, they may also be interested in other facets of our existance that are done well, like steam locomotives, scotch, pick up trucks prior to 1960, chocolate, welding, etc.

"General Chat and Ideas". IMO that indicates an arena of family friendly non specific discussion on various formats.

  I often start my motorcycle ride by popping a chunk of fine chocolate in my yap. Helps with concentration. I hope this brings the thread into a motorcycle related subject.

Ya, “General Chat & Ideas”…duh…about MOTORCYCLES!  And did you know white chocolate isn’t chocolate?

  Correct. It’s not chocolate. It’s cocoa butter.

Ya Whittakers are only 200g.  I was just trying to remember.  That sale may have been an in store special.  Not sure if it was chain wide.

I only got 2 bars.  Might go get a couple more if I’m back uptown.

  You are correct Ross, 200mg versus 300 mgs. Water bridge for the win!  I was at Lo Don Drugs picking up a new ink cartridge for my printer. Honest!!!
