'Dirty Girls'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you
Your standards for food white are very strict.
milk, plain yogurt, outside of a hardboiled egg = white
white chocolate, white cheddar =/= white (I never understood why they call the orange cheese "yellow" when I think "white" cheddar is approaching yellow on it's own).
But I'll admit that may just be me.
This will only get to end with me sending Snowies to all of you white chocolate haters, won't it?
I'm not a white chocolate hater, but you can send me Snowies anyway!
This will only get to end with me sending Snowies to all of you white chocolate haters, won't it?
Yes. And, um, I hate white chocolate. Really.
::surreptitiously crosses fingers::
I'm not a fan of white chocolate and I agree that it isn't chocolate, but what I've seen certainly looks white.
White chocolate is basically the cocoa fat, right? So it's sort of like chicken fat. You wouldn't eat a spoonful of chicken fat and say you were eating chicken, or at least I wouldn't. To me, eating chicken means eating a specific part of it—the muscle, with perhaps some fat included. Like chicken fat, white chocolate can be a worthwhile ingredient in other things, but I'm not sure I'd eat either one by the spoonful on its own.
Ok, I used to like white chocolate...
I love white chocolate, so I'm ignoring the disturbing chicken fat comparison.
Although it does make me think of that Friends episode.
From the White Chocolate Wiki:
White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. The melting point of cocoa butter is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature, yet low enough to allow white chocolate to melt in the mouth.
and
In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be at least 20% cocoa butter (by weight), at least 14% total milk solids, at least 3.5% milk fat, and less than 55% sugar or other sweeteners[4].
Then they say this:
Before this date, U.S. firms required temporary marketing permits to sell white chocolate.
I'm boggled.
And now I want white chocolate. Good white chocolate is... good.
