Sounds like a classic to me! What is this foam you speak of though? Or were you just referring to frothy milk or something? :D

Yep, we have a milk frother where we make foam when we don’t have any cream

I still find that I most often eat chocolate when it comes to having milk chocolate digestive biscuits with either tea or coffee. I do eat chocolate bars though too, most often when I have walked to the store and done some shopping; I'll sit down and have a bottle of Coke or Pepsi and eat a chocolate bar, then walk home with all the shopping.

I've loved chocolate bars since i was a kid. That hasn't changed much since then. :mrgreen:

Oh so like they do in coffee shops!

Come to think of it, I've never tried using frothed milk in hot chocolate. Not that I can right now since I don't have one of those machines at home, but it would be curious to try having hot cocoa with frothed milk.

I think you should try it. It tastes VERY nice but gets a bit boring after a month or so unless you put extra cream on it. Kinda like drinking alcohol (apparently)

I have never heard of this 'Chartreuse' drink until you shared that link, not sure if that's sold in the US. That's a lot of herbs for an alcohol, but it sounds like it would be good, but I wonder if this would change of the hot chocolate itself or would it remain a nice cocoa brown?

I’d expect a drink to be sold in at least one shop in a country with a 350M population! :mrgreen:

Let's face it, Hunch is likely exposed to better chocolate than we are here in the US. I've heard how chocolate outside the US is superior. Why must we get the bad chocolate here? :cry:

Really sorry for our American people around here, but yeah, I can confirm European chocolate is way superior, so I have no doubts Hunch probably tasted better chocolate :P
How confusing can a single vowel be, huh?

Here in Spain we have an elixir... Churros with chocolate! This gives you 10 additional years of life on winter... And can also revive when you go back home after New Year's massive party :lol:

Damn dude, you really didn't have to eat our leader to compare him to chocolate like that. :cry: (At a glance I read that as Hunch tasting better than chocolate. :oops2: )




I would love to taste chocolate outside the US one of these days, to experience what true chocolate is like, over our fake chocolate. :mrgreen:

I've heard of Munch chocolate in India. I don't know if Hunch chocolate exists, but eating Hunch... :confus:

My old boss (who came from Carolina originally) once explained it to me that the warmer climate means they put stuff in it to increase the melting point, but that stuff makes it taste horrible.

Lollol. In the UK, American chocolate can’t even be called chocolate: it has too little cacao.

But don’t worry guys, I’ll send some chocolate bars over 4u :up: :winkgrin:

Since I actually like chocolate, I feel kind of bad for people who get this "fake" chocolate now. :lol:

Ironically people often say the American candy is better, so we we need to exchange some candy for chocolate. :lol:

It's funny to think that whenever Homer Simpson says "mmm, chocolate..." he's probably thinking of the American stuff, which I've never tried but sounds awful! :P
