Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.

It really isn't. The key flavor factor of Chocolate is it's bitterness.

White Chocolate totally sacrifices this flavor profile. If you prefer white chocolate you like sugar, not chocolate.

This. I despise how sweet white chocolate tastes. I like that rich bitterness to dark chocolate.

But I was the weird kid who grew up liking dark chocolate over milk chocolate.

Same, I used to eat it in very small amounts.

"You want some chocolate with that sugar?"

[–] julietOscarEcho@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or like both but prefer sugar (and fat carefully tempered to a delecate snap). But seriously if you don't like sugar I don't understand why you would be messing with chocolate anyway.

Incidentally try caramelising white chocolate. fucking great. Which I think supports the white choc ~= sugar hypothesis.

Caramelized white chocolate sounds delightful. Like dulce de leche.

I'm also a dulce de leche lover

[–] elscallr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you've never tried it, take a can of sweetened condensed milk and simmer it (don't boil!). It'll take several hours simmering, but when you open the can you'll end up with something very similar to dulce de leche inside.

I can get it from the store, but thanks for the tip!
