Root Chocolate - Marketing or Education

Occasionally, while I sit at a Vietnameserestaurant, cautiously eating my standard Pho, I cant help giggle to myself as Richard sweats and guzzles water to counteract the powerful sensations coming from hisinevitably extra spicy dish. Similarly, I pass on the japapeosin Mexicancuisine and the Sriracha at Thai places. A coworkers kid only eats food that is white and my cousins, while growing up, ate solely Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, with hot dogs.

Youmay laugh and say that people who refrain from eating delicacies like spicy Pho, caviar, or kimchi have unsophisticated palettes. Wemust not know or understand the intricacies of such delicious foods.Richard maysay thatmy Vietnamese food is bland and that Im not gaining the full experience of these cuisines.

I would respond that I like what I like. My taste buds have their own preferences and theres not too much I can do about that. Im not being stubborn on purpose; Im sure you can identify withme in having a particular taste for something that may be considered unpopular.

So, what does this have to do with chocolate?
