You will also notice that a fine chocolate tells your pallet that you don't need more. A small piece will satisfy. Fine dark chocolates also match well with many fine red wines. And as for how well it matches with a fine cup of espresso(the only real way to drink coffee), one needs to find that out on their own. Words cannot describe.

Milk chocolate, filtered cigarettes, lite beer, drip coffee, margarine, half and half, non dairy creamer, drive up windows, and factory produced meats are illnesses Americans developed. Items made for the sole reason to get you to eat more, get fat, and smoke twice as much.

While working in the industry, I don't think I ever reached that point. Nothing beats breaking a ten pound bar of cool dark chocolate and popping a large chip into your mouth to suck on. In my twenty years of chocolates making, I often ate a pound a day, for quality control, you know.

Agree 100% especially about chocolate with espresso. I do that before I exercise every day. I've tried a lot of different chocolates and like most of them. My favorite might be dark Lindor with the liquid dark center.

In his several books about beer, food critic Michael Jackson mentions that many of the richer stouts are very good accompaniment to dark chocolate. Some stouts actually include small amounts of cocoa as a flavoring agent.

Of course, if you sit down to a pint of Dominion Imperial Stout and four ounces of Belgian dark chocolate, you might as well skip dinner...
