Are there any combinations of chocolate and spice which fail?

[Maurice Picarda]

They're all wrong!

A Pict? Incensed at the addition of spice or flavouring to food? But, surely not?

Sechuan pepper!

Just cos there's a recipie somewhere on the internets doesn't mean it's right.

Chocolate already has a flavour. Chocolate flavour.

Garam masala?

That works. Dolphin (a Belgian concern) make one and it's lush.

OK, so not a spice, but I wasn't remarkably excited by the lavender chocolate I had.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Chocolate should only come in one flavour. Cadburys.

Sechuan pepper!

Chocolate and black pepper is great, so I'd give it a go.

I had chocolate and cumin which was a bit meh.

Lavendar works with everything - fact.

I had lavendar cheese the other week, it was amazing.

Mustard was my first thought, too.

:blechh:

Also, I don't think chocolate and black cardomom would be great - though the green ones could be.

Or liquorice.

I think where you're going wrong here is thinking that the spices bring something to the chocolate when, in actual fact, it is a case of the chocolate improving the spices. If you have some pepper lying around then maybe it tastes okay but it will be improved by being diluted by large amounts of chocolate. Chocolate gains nothing from the deal other than the knowledge of a job well done. The relationship is essentially parasitic NOT symbiotic.

Chocolate does not need to be improved with anything other than milk and sugar.

Chocolate does not need to be improved with anything other than milk and sugar.

Or a naked body. Being added to a naked body can benefit both parties.

 

[quimcunx]

Hm. nope. The body definitely gets the best deal there. I fail to see where chocolate benefits from the addition of chest hair. I'd send them on an errand and scoff the chocolate.
