This battle was another that we did with Jim's parents. Sean of London had asked if there was anything that Peta was craving during her pregnancy and she emphatically said, "Chocolate!" Well, then. Sean brought a bunch and they are the following:
- Valrhona Guanaja 70% Cacao
- Zaabär Chocolat Noir with Pink Peppercorns from Bahia (Belgian)
- Zaabär Chocolat Noir with Thyme from Lavandou (Belgian)
- Zotter Fair Trade Organic, Bean-to-Bar, Hand-Scooped (Handgeschöpft!?), Coffee Plum with Ham/Bacon (Kaffeepflaume mit Speck)
The Valrhona Guanaja has a "force intensity" rating of 6 (out of 10?), lightly to moderately roasted nuts, light to moderate acidity and moderate to high bitterness. Peta liked/s it the best, so it's a good thing that Sean brought the most of this type. Jim's parents preferred it the best as well, but Jim's dad is really a milk chocolate kind of guy. We all did not like or understand the thyme in the chocolate and the peppercorns were only marginally better. Not many takers for the Plum/Prune Bacon bar, so Jim had to do the dirty work. [He enjoyed it very much]
We still haven't tried the Zotter "Baobab und Bananen" and Jim can't wait. "But it's for Peta and the baby!" Hush now, you!
Jim and Peta
