100% cocoa content

[goldencup]

Somebody at work who knows I like chocolate keeps giving me these drum shaped lumps of 100% stuff from Waitrose.  I'm sure some people must love it but I can't even take the smell of it!  I'm told it's quite expensive so I can't decide how to tell this person that I don't actually like it.  If I say I'm on a diet he might not bring me any at all!  How ungrateful am I?

You are not being ungrateful. Why don't you drop the hint that although the choc is lovely it is a little strong and sets away your migraines.

[goldencup]

Good idea!  I'll do that.

If I say I'm on a diet he might not bring me any at all! 

Two questions spring to mind here;

a) will he believe you ?

b) will he think you need to?

Oh! c) Will he think it's actually working?

[goldencup]

Probably no to all three.

I like a 85% ganache but the 100% stuff is for veeeery small doses.

I hope he isn't trying to poison you, GC!

I like the sound of that word.

Don't mess with my chocolate or I'll smash your ganache.

sounds like gnashers to me.

100% choc is vile stuff!  I'm a chocoholic and about 85% is the limit for me.  I tried the 100% stuff and just found it bland and tasteless.
