Dark Chocolate Vs. White Chocolate

[wjp666]

I just think you're all being racist. Accept white chocolate as one of the gang! ;-)

The Oxford English Dictionary definition of chocolate is "a food in the form of a paste or solid block made from roasted and ground cacao seeds, typically sweetened and eaten as confectionary."

I really hope it doesn't say that - surely the OED can spell confectionery?

The Oxford English Dictionary definition of chocolate is "a food in the form of a paste or solid block made from roasted and ground cacao seeds, typically sweetened and eaten as confectionary." Which isn't really much help is it?

Ah, so according to the OED, white chocolate is not proper chocolate, because it is made from roasted and ground cacao seeds. The white stuff uses cocoa butter exclusively.

No really that's what is says.. Confectionary.
Yup I checked, spelled exactly like that too. How awful.

Oh dear..  Sorry and thanks. rofl

I take it you know 'gullible' is also spelt wrong in the dictionary?

(Okay, it's an oldie I know...)

How dare they call chocolate 'confectionery'! It's more than that!

Unless it's 'white'!
