White Chocolate: not only my nickname in prison, but also the site of much discussion and some controversy, even, in the world of chocolate. I went there for spring break last year. It was nice but the service was catastrophically slow.

According to ask.yahoo.thisisnotaverycrediblesite.com, the FDA does not classify white chocolate as chocolate. Racial implications aside, I feel this is blasphemous!

After all, white chocolate is made from the same ingredients as that which we refer to as just "chocolate": cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar, lecithin and flavorings (usually vanilla, in the case of the WC). What makes the white chocolate white is its tendency to participate in skin bleaching and its lack of cocoa solids. I don't really know what that means. But that's what it says on Wikipedia. (hey, this is a flog, not your homemaker's 101 textbook)

Because of its lack of exposure in mainstream media, I believe people underestimate this ivory delight. Have you had it on pretzels or raisins, for example? It is a superior snack. So are almonds and books by Michael Crichton.
