Yes, you can have too much chocolate. My daughter and I had chocolate
fondue for New Years Eve a few years ago, and I OD'd on it. I felt so
sick. The next day I felt very hungover (and no, there was no booze in
the fondue). Since then, my daughter will have her beloved chocolate
fondue, and I will eat a very few bites. You can see, since I am a
chocoholic, that I must have felt extremely ill!

I've never understood chocolate. I certainly don't want it in my chili.
Okay, occasionally I like chocolate milk. Just not a big chocolate fan. I
liked it when I was a teen but I got over it. Give me butterscotch instead

koko,

You sampled all those plates?!? I think I would've been sick.

<snipped for brevity>

Have many happy returns,


I was thinking there's obviously no point in palette cleansing. It wouldn't
be at all effective, just another sample between samples.

Thanks,

Andy

Uh, that would be "palate." Otherwise, you're eating paint?
