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.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
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

Because books.
I love white chocolate, so I'm ignoring the disturbing chicken fat comparison.
Although it does make me think of that Friends episode.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And now I want white chocolate. Good white chocolate is... good.

White chocolate is not chocolate. I LOVE Calli's chicken fat comparison.

Sigh I surrender myself to the mission. So gimme a list.
Once I'll have enough money, I'll buy all of you haters (yes: heretic HATERS) Snowies, send it away and then you'll see what I mean why I say Max Brenner will change the way you feel about chocolate.

What, only the haters get the goodies?
Fine, then: I HATE white chocolate. In fact, I hate all chocolate. White, milk, dark; gross. Like chicken fat, it is.
