Chocolate With a Rumor
I like chocolate, but I always find myself wondering why it feels unfinished at the end.
You know that feeling of warmth when your lover wraps their arms around you from behind and breathes softly over your ear while spooning right after sex? That’s what chili does to chocolate in your mouth. It’s the finishing touch. Without it, you just feel a bit screwed but you’re not really 100% satisfied.
I found Lindt Excellence Chili, a chocolate infused with a rumor of chili. Now I understand what Chocolate tastes like when you don’t screw up.
It starts with chocolate, fine dark chocolate. Not the dark that most chocolate newbies cringe at, but a mild dark – maybe 60%? It’s not rated on my packaging. Naturally, the chocolate melts on the tongue with a very creamy feel. I doubt Lindt has a quality assurance department, they just don’t need it. Anyways, after melting all over the tongue a little heat starts gossiping in the back of the mouth at the tonsils and slowly the rumor passes up the back of the tongue and towards the front. Eventually your whole tongue is quietly talking about the exciting news – you just had chocolate. Finally, you found real chocolate.
It’s true: Real chocolate exists.
