Or it could be a conspiracy like those big Filarmonica's hold them back create and inflated market won't be long now before we see the first $100 dollar Snickers bar.

Glad I just received 3 kilos of Valrhona cocoa powder. Maybe I'll order up some 60% just to be safe.

Ok, I guess I'll now need to upgrade my dogs in order to keep the chocolate stash safe... I just bought loads to make my legendary chocolate truffles.

Agreed - but you're waffles taste the best with our Maple Syrup!!!! Originally Posted by Bruno

In fact, to call American chocolate 'chocolate' at all is a stretch
This comment was brought to you from Belgium, home of the real chocolate experience.
Btw, we could switch the term 'chocolate' in this post for 'beer' or 'waffles' and it would still be accurate

I really miss Vermont Maid. Growing up with my Mom's Saturday pancakes Vermont Maid was always on the table.

A couple of months ago I bought some grade A Vermont 100% maple syrup and some Canadian grade B. Grade B is not inferior to A, just a thicker consistency is the distinction. I do French toast, and/or buckwheat pancakes just to be able to use the syrup. I'm going to have to look for some Belgian waffles.

I remember buckets hanging on the trees in fall. Last time I had a pancake I think. As for chocolate, I have a connection in Costa Rica. She has her own factory in the jungle. When I say factory I mean trees, bowls, and a lot of helpers :<0) Why anybody would drink beer instead of a good shot of Gentleman Jack is beyond my comprehension.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
