hey,

just wanted to know if my liking for sometimes doin the following crazy or
ok:

1. relish in 85%+ dark choc....
2. towards the end of the experience, have some orange juice with
it....tastes great

on another note i have observed that i tend to like having orange juice
with almost any kind of chocolate based product -- which reminds me of some
orange flavored chocolates that i had as a kid and hated....etc..

I've encountered a couple orange-and-chocolate combinations over
the years. One was Green & Black's "Maya Gold" (the first product
to carry the "Fairtrade" mark) which is dark chocolate flavored
with orange, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla - it was unlike anything
I'd had before, and I confess I'd still choose their "plainer"
flavors over it.

The other was zChocolat's "Orangette" which is a thin strip of
candied orange peel covered in dark chocolate. This wound up
being one of my favorites from them.

(I'd note that both of the aforementioned sites have been linked
from my site at http://chocolocate.com/ for years and years, and
I've... er... eaten my share of both.

Orange flavor and chocolate go great together. I think I prefer mine from
grand marnier truffles but whatever floats ur boat. Raspberry goes
wonderful with chocolate too.....and yes I use Chambord raspberry liquer for
mine.

I highly recommend adding one square of Maya Gold to a mug of hot
chocolate/cocoa. The spice/orange permeates the whole drink - delicious.
