-White Chocolate (8)
From: bostbill@ix.netcom.com Now I'm holding my breath until the messages start flying from people who are offended by the term: white chocolate. From: PopEyer2@AOL.COM Actually I'm more offended because "white chocolate" is an oxymoron. Chocolate isn't white, it's brown!!!! From: "Ben Boxer" benboxer@mediaone.net Anybody who is offended by "white chocolate" can go sit in the corner while I eat his share of white chocolate which is, to me, the most delicious of all solid chocolates. I wax rhapsodic over macadamia nuts mixed with it and until recently gave that as gifts to my closest friends, ordered from Ethel M Chocolates in Las Vegas, but they don't have them anymore. Fortunately, though, my mother won't swat me when she doesn't get her traditional expensive box of them on her 87th birthday near Valentine's Day. She won't crack her whip because I have another resource now from a company owned by one of our list members. His chunky white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are fabulous. I sent them to Mother for Christmas and she had to hide them from her army of great-grandchildren and eat them in solitude in the bathroom or she would never have got one. I asked her the other day what she wanted for her birthday/Valentine's Day, and she replied, "HA! You have to ask?????" Her hysterical laughter at my idiotic question meant she wouldn't settle for a $90 bottle of her favorite perfume. No way! She's got to have those white choco cookies from Grand Avenue Desserts & Munchies, which I will order from their link on Studly's Mascot Mall page at the Silverfoxes Clubhouse. They are about the only cookie Studly will eat, except for Grand Avenue's butterscotch pecan brownies. Oh! Oh!
Where have you people been hiding to never have heard of white chocolate. I agree with Ben, it is the most delicious treat and oh so decadent. You can even buy a Hersey's version of white chocolate, nasty but still white. From: "Digital Artistry" deusex@earthlink.net White Chocolate isn't chocolate, but it's yummy anyway. Why would someone be offended by the term though? I don't understand. From: "Bob Deal" bdeal@kc.rr.com White chocolate is indeed chocolate. It is made with cocoa butter which comes from the cocoa plant. This is the only form that the USDA allows to be called white chocolate. There is a product that is made from artificial ingredients and powdered milk that looks like white chocolate (and is a great deal cheaper) and a little whiter. This must be called white chunks or white confectionery and does not have the richness of white chocolate. From: "Harry Chess" milkstudz@hotmail.com Well I agree that most of us have heard of white chocolate, even seen it. But some of us prefer the brown of milk or bitter sweet. Just like some of us are foxes hunting foxes, foxes seeking hunters or bears huntin bears. (The possibilities roll down but I think you get my point.) But I cheefully offer Ben all of my white chocolate. BTW, did you ever have chocolate in southern Argentina? just got back from there, the stuff is magnificent. From: "Ben Boxer" benboxer@mediaone.net
Yes, Harry, I have eaten chocolate in southern Argentina. Thanks for mentioning it! You've brought back a memory I had tucked away, which has been revivified by your question. I have written it for you. You'll find it as a column by storyteller Colonel Brock at the Silverfoxes Clubhouse, called "Argentine Chocolate and the Marquis de Sade."
Does anyone have the confirmed skinny on this weekends event as to
whether it is still to be at the Desert Bears or as was announced at our
last P. Timers gathering in L.A. that it is moving back to the Raquet
Club????
(Apropos the quote below, Ben Boxer wonders if "non-breeder single parent" might substitute for "infertile couples" in cases where a foxhunter may wish to nurture an adult clone of Sir Sean Connery or a silverfox may be desirous of suckling an adult clone of Antonio Banderas?)
"The world must come to grips with cloning!" says
Professor Panos Zavos, representing a private consortium of
scientists who plan to clone a human being within the next
two years. The group says it will use the technique
only for helping infertile couples with no other
opportunity
to become parents. The technology will resemble that
used to clone animals, and will be made widely available.

As for chocolate only being brown, HAHAHAHAHAHA!
(I get that laugh from my mother.) Hey, PopEyer, a chocolate factory in Reno makes what they call "cow patties," which imitate a spreading pile of what we used to junp over on the farm -- fresh "meadow muffins" -- and YOUR kind of chocolate is the perfect color! Ha! But WHITE chocolate has CLASS,
baby! If you don't think so, buy your Valentine sweetie a big
heart-shaped box of it (1 lb 14 oz) from Godiva for $150, or if
you are feeling intellectual, you can buy a chess set of
milk- and white-chocolate chessmen with a board of the same,
and eat them when you capture the knight, or the bishop, or
even the queen (hee hee), as well as the board itself if you
win! It's a bargain at $220 from the Chocolate Chess
Factory.
