Not one of the HUGE things, is it - the ones over a pound?

Nope. It's the 3.5 oz (100g) bar

We get a local product 'chocolate decadence' that is almost coma
inducing. One year i made the mistake of admiring a whole cake, while
in a store with a friend, knowing i could only eat one slice at the risk
of a coma. A few days later same friend brought me a whole cake for my
B'day.

I served it with Ben & Jerry's chocolate fudge ice cream & hot chocolate
sauce and a cup of "Abulita" Mexican drinking chocolate, and promptly
went comatose.

I am seriously tempted to make a chocolate rose mixture. I have had
rose ice cream and liked it and seem to think the rose and chocolate
would go together.

A google group search on < joseph+littleshoes+catalan+cake > will bring
up a favourite chocolate and port cake recipe.

Mon Dieu, Andy! A month or so ago I had a Valhrona candy bar from TJ's.
I'm thinking it was perhaps even more than 73%, but can't prove it. It was
a 4 oz-er, I think and I shared it. But alas, I had to take a dizzy pill, I
swear it. The last time I was there, I bought Valhrona cocoa powder. It
looks like it came from the deepest parts of .... It sure looks stout to
me!
I hope you sleep tonight.

Currently, studies show dark chocolate to be good for you. Hurry and
eat it before they change their minds.

Now try an 85% such as Lindt's. *That's* getting serious. Oh, and if you
want to graduate to the big leagues, you should eat it in a single sitting
(say, no more than 5 minutes) After that you can move up to Cluizel Noir
Infini or Domori 100%.

They will. Buy Guittard Chucuri for this application which is the best
chocolate you can possibly pair with rosewater, at least IMHO.

Need a recipe for rose ice cream, btw? I have one if you want it.

Alex,

85% dark must be pretty bitter! 73% does have a tinge of bitter. Who
sells Lindt's?

All the best,

I have used rose petals from a person i trusted to be an organic
gardener to make a rose flavoured syrup for ice cream, but for that
reason i am hesitant to make 'Rose' ice cream. From what i have read
about cooking with roses it is very difficult to nearly impossible to
get organic, contaminant free, rose petals.

That was the first question that popped into my mind. I mean HEY, I
understand wanting to savor the flavor... but for THAT long?! I'm thinking
20 or 30 minutes MAXIMUM!

Wayne, does the rosewater above differ in ingredients, if you know, from
rosewater that is sold in the mid-eastern stores? The bottle I have now is
the brand "Hazou" packed by Hazou Foods, New Jersey, 10 oz. Ingredients:
Purified water, Pure Natural Rose Oil.
Thanks,
Dee Dee

Please invite me over to help you dispose of the leftovers after your
next birthday... it's the very least I can do to help out in the
interest of inter-city relationships.

Sanctimoniously Yours,
