flyovers who think sw*ss '''people''' make good anything

>>14726395
is flyover the new meme insult of the month?

>>14726360
id try it, would be better with some nuts or pepper in it probably though

>>14726360
I bought it once just for shit and giggles, not good but I guess it's alright for baking or melting with milk

>>14726395

>tfw the entire USA is now the flyover of the world because of the bans

the only use for shit like this is making hot chocolate since you have full control of how much sugar you put in
people who eat it raw are not normal

I do. Goes nice with a black coffee.

>>14726408
>the only use for shit like this is making hot chocolate since you have full control of how much sugar you put in
Even then dark chocolate + lactose from the milk is a fair amount of sugar.

You don't deserve those dubs. Or a (You) for that matter.

>>14726400

Just how new are you?

>>14726429
not at all, which is why I noticed I've been called a flyover more times in the past few weeks than I've been in the previous 10 years

>>14726437
What have you done differently the past few weeks that would get you called flyover more than usual?

>>14726448
nothing

>>14726437
maybe if you stopped being such a flyover people wouldn't use the correct words to describe your behavior

>>14726461
I don't believe you.

>>14726360
Adults, stick to your milk and white chocolate, kid.

>>14726360
Retards who think eating this shit makes them "grown up"

>>14726360
I just buy those high cacao content chocolates for mousse au chocolat. Tastewise i don't like anything higher than 80% (mostly even 70%).

>worthless coastie niggers literally cannot stop seething as their states are burned to the ground by their own stupidity

>>14726535
I hardly ever eat sweets, I'm just not a loser who twirls a bitter brick of shit in my mouth trying to convince myself of how "interesting" and "complex" the flavors are

I like it. I eat it straight & really chew it up till it melts and coats my mouth, which does have an unpleasant flavor, but then I wash it all down with cold whole milk, and the relief of bitter > sweet plus the cacao flavor is excellent.

>>14726586
>bitter bad
Spot the children

>>14726465
I'm not even american, calling me a flyover has about as much impact as calling me a retard or a faggot

>>14726381
That's because you're a human being.

>>14726619
Notice the only defense for you morons is "lol ur a child"? It's because you know your shit chocolate sucks eggs unless it's mixed with something that actually tastes good

>>14726420
>flyover

This is a racial slur used by racist libtards. They are Caucasophobic.

>>14726642
OK, Karen.

>>14726381
80% is the perfect spot.

>>14726360
I usually eat the 85%/90% version. It's one of the best you can get in the supermarkets for a reasonable price. What can you buy in your country in that price band that's better?

The problem with the highest percentages is that if the coco isn't up to scratch then you're going to know. It's the same when i drink plain filter coffee. It's the pure unadulterated bean you're going to be tasting.

Good high percentage chocolate isn't bitter. Strong yes. If it's poor quality then it will either flat, bitter or both. I can't afford the good stuff often but I've had some that are woody/smoky. Some that have a citrus twang and others that are fruity. It's not a crime to add something a bit sweet to open up and complement the flavours. It's going to be a heck of a lot better than what junk they put in poor quality bars. Try nuts, seeds, conserves, port, liqueurs. Experiment.

Typical. Keep eatin those beanz brother

>>14726689
You literally said "unless it's mixed with something that actually tastes good" retard, if you think sugar is good by itself you are a fucking manchild.

i used it once for truffles with white chocolate coating. delicious.
of course i wouldn't eat that shit otherwise, it tastes like ashes

>>14726699
You know there are things without sugar you can mix with dark chocolate? I didn't realize eating this stuff made you actually retarded

>>14726721
why are you still giving these retards (you)s? they come to every thread and spam the same shit over and over. just ignore them.

Whatever you say sugar-addicted manchild.

Non-pussies who don't want their cocoa ruined by sweeteners and salt.

>>14726360
Do people actually buy it to eat straight? I just thought it was used as a better quality baking chocolate.

>>14726360
I do

>>14726569
based

>>14726360
99%? AFAIK that's just for baking. If you want a less sweet and more intense cocao flavor, then just get the ghirardelli dark chocolate squares they sell at CVS for like $3 for 11 squares. Try different % cocao to see what you like. You can go from typical dark chocolate sweetness to something much more intense you have to eat in smaller amounts to really taste.

>>14726389
I only see them buying popcorn in drugstores kek

>>14726501
I read that some people lose their ability to taste as they get older, so that might explain why

>>14726535
there's a difference between people who want to enjoy the cocao taste vs people who just want a chocolately and super sweet treat

>>14726655
yep, and you usually have to buy a niche/local brand of high% chocolate to get something that isn't the typical shit used in mass production that has its bitterness killed by sugar and other additives.

>>14726708
try taking smaller bites

>>14726744
a lot of people doing keto do this if they're doing a fast or trying to break a candy addiction. they usually don't go 99% tho. I bought 92% and for me it's too much if I eat it too quickly, but fine if i nibble on it. If I buy something like the lindt truffles, my gf and I can finish a bag in a week because it's easy to keep popping one chocolate after the other.

>>14726909
>try taking smaller bites
try taking seared-er bites

>>14726360
.....look man I started eating 80%< chocolate when I was a child cuz my grand-aunt always gave me that, last week I tried 100% since I read it was healthy and yesterday i bought exactly the one in the picture because with 100% my mouth taste like death.

>>14726360
My SO, and he actually does like it.
I have no idea how this is even possible and if I didn't know him very well I'd suspect he was just pretending (like I thought anyone who buys >85% chocolate did).

>>14726360
I do, it's good. A little goes a long way though, you're not going to be munching it down like a normal chocolate bar lol. But a little piece here and there it's great, goes well with red wine too imo.

>>14726360
I don't like eating dark chocolate without any other sweeteners.
anything past 80% is too bitter for me to be eaten without sweetening with sugar.
I actually prefer milk chocolate.

>>14726360
your mother

>>14726360
I've had 100% cacao and it's extremely bitter without a drop of sweetness in it.
90% is better but still noticeably bitter.
80% is tolerable but I wouldn't go looking for it.
60-70% is the ideal range for my tastes.

>>14726360
to use for baking chocolate. or to melt over something

>>14727149
That's because you're a baby

>there are "people" that eat dark "chocolate"

I like 70%
Is 99% actually meant to be eaten normally? I would imagine it's main use would be as an ingredient

>>14727314
>there are babies that consider white/milky shit "chocolate

>>14727259
"Bitter" is not inherently bad. It's time to grow up.

>>14727259
this. 60% is the tastiest and easy to find and at good prices without getting into chocolate sperg territory.

>>14726437
Coasties are getting into the proper mindset for when trump landslides in 2020. Bidens already way behind where hillary was on every metric.

They're getting their best insults for all the "hicks" who would rather not have coastal shitheads with zero idea how 99% of their country operates dictating policy. Thats how you get California.

>>14726651
close but WRONG

>>14727502
ok fatty

>>14727522
>landslides
Doubtful at best.

I do. I break off tiny pieces and melt them in water to be used in shakes, smoothies, cakes, and other deserts. It's way better than buying the shitty cocoa powder with anti caking ingredients and sugars.

>>14727680
>and sugars
just buy unsweetened fag

>>14727439
thats what actual chocolate is. dark chocolate is cocoa shaped like chcolate

>>14726360
Eh, I prefer 85-90 but this stuff's fine.

>>14726360
More than 95% is just not okay, 85% is ideal for me

It's not that different from drinking black coffee

>>14727778
milk chocolate is just an excuse to put in as much sugar and as little cocoa as possible so that kids can get their sugar fix while the manufacturer spends less money on cocoa, which is expensive
dark chocolate (60-90%) is for people who actually like the taste of chocolate

>>14727778
No retard dark chocolate still has sugar, just not in ridiculous amount for children like you. White ""chocolate"" doesn't even have cocoa solids.

>>14728273
Not really, the most expensive part is cocoa butter which is why white chocolate can be expensive too.

>>14726360
I've got a can of 100% that I use in chilli in tiny amounts,99% must be so bitter to eat like that.

>>14726389
Can confirm, my wife (38) eats it every day.

>It's dark chocolate and low in sugar so it's healthy.

>>14727259
>I've had 100% cacao and it's extremely bitter without a drop of sweetness in it.
It depends on the bar. Some use more cocoa butter and less cocoa solids which cuts down on the bitterness and cocoa butter has a slight sweetness to it that comes through with those.

I have to avoid sugar now and only eat unsweetened chocolate, and after a while it stops seeming so bitter and you can start to pick up on its other flavors. I ended up having some sweetened chocolate anyway a while ago and I could really notice how the sugar affected its flavor and it almost didn't even seem like chocolate to me anymore.

>>14728561
Shes right retard

>>14726392
Me too. 95% is probably where I like it best, but 100% bars can be good sometimes. The thing is that it's greatly affected by what you've just eaten/drank due to the bitterness.

For me, it's 85% dipped in peanut butter

>>14727680
>rem

>>14726389
that would make sene actually: tongue buds develops a taste for bitterness with age

>>14726360
My mom and she pretends it's amazing and gives it to everyone for Christmas
That brand of chocolate is strickly for people who bottle their own farts

>>14728514

newfag

Milk chocolate > cacao nibs > white chocolate >>> a turd >>> dark chocolate

>>14726360
Dark chocolate is based.
Better for you than fake sugary milk chocolate, plus because dark chocolate filters so many people you can keep it in a sharehouse fridge and know no-one will touch it

>>14728953
Why is everybody calling people "newfag" now? "Fag" is really too offensive even for 4channel.

What kind of retard buys dark chocolate at the candy aisle instead of walking over to the baking aisle and paying half

>>14728920
>wojackposter
no wonder you are so retarded

>>14729619
The ones in the candy aisle seem a little smoother but I'm not sure if that's just because the bars are thinner.

>>14726360
I do. It's ok, I prefer 80 or closer to that. It works out for me because I dont like to pig out on chocolate, maybe eat one or half of the little squares a day.

>>14729646

My dom gf makes me eat 99% and ridicules me for liking 85%.
:(((

>>14726360
i bought this when i was on keto. one square after dinner with a bit of peanut butter.

99% is the fucking goods. I love that aggressive bitterness that sends sugar to time out in the corner.

How do I find a girlfriend as a neet, anon

>>14726360
I do.

For some reason here in Switzerland dark chocolate is almost impossible to find

I guess it only gets produced for foreigners

It's better with sugar because sugar tastes good

90% combined with a espresso niice double bitter.
If you dont eat suger your pallet changes.

>>14729619
I just realized that my baking chocolate is a year old now. I should do something with it. I always just use the powdered stuff

>>14730292
god yes

>>14726360
I'd certainly give it a go, though 95% already gets a little dusty on the tongue. 90% is pretty much perfect though so that's what I always go for.

>>14731475
If you are a woman, a child or fat.

>>14726360
so what's the point of having this as well?

>>14729619
is it even tempered

>>14726360
>>14726381
Why would I get this expensive shit when I can get raw cacao nibs for 16€/kg? Buying 99% chocolate is the food equivalent of buying an Audi.

>>14732717
didn't know it was that chip, how hard is it to prepare them?

>>14732717
didn't know it was that cheap, how hard is it to prepare them?

>>14732843
You either mix them with nuts, nutbutter, blend them to a smoothie, add them to any kind of flour or just eat them raw. You could also just add you favorite sweetener and make chocolate out of it.
