In particular, chocolate was a rare comodity. Sure, lots of stores had things for sale that professed to be “cho-ke-li”, but they were usually brown-colored wax. Some places had dove bars, but they were very, very expensive (I ended up buying them anyway).

Ever since I’ve been back, I’ve been hyper appreciative of the real stuff. And increasingly, I’ve been trying different and exotic kinds of chocolate, learning about the differences in quality/location, and what weird-as-hell ingrediants taste really good in it. (Hint: Chocolate with sea salt is AMAZING. In particular when almonds are also involved.)

Thus, there I will document my experiences and adventures with chocolate. Not the normal stuff, but the kinds that are a bit more out-there. To start with, I will be reviewing a bar of bacon-flavored chocolate I am about to devour (assuming it’s edible- I haven’t actually tried it yet and it IS bacon-flavored).

So, enjoy!
