90% Chocolate

So I walked into the groceries store and was going to buy some bread, then I saw this dark chocolate bar on sale and decided to but it. It was the Lindt Excellence 90% Cocao Bar. When I got home I tried a piece, and man was it weird. I don't hate it, its just too intense for me. Don't get me wrong I like dark chocolate but this was not what I was used too. My roommate loves it, she said its something you have to get used to.

Well I wonder how many of guys have tried this before? And did you like it?

Hmm, i wonder would it taste bitter?

Most dark chocalates are bitter though... >_>

I personally try every chocolate bar I can find. I love experimenting so I've tried chocalate bars with bacon, with chili peppers, and even with wasabi. They are all satisfying in their own right, but I think I'll stick with a normal chocolate bar whenever the urge hits me.

Dark chocolate is good at 60% maximum. 90% and 100% are more for cooking.

[font=verdana][color=green]I've had 85% before; it's very bitter. I liked it, but you can only really have a couple of pieces at a time. But, that's how chocolate should be enjoyed; little at a time.

I enjoy extrmely bitter Godiva 87% , of course as Sam mentioned with chocolates this dark you can't be munching down a whole bar at a time, just a chunk is fine, I haven't tried that type of lindt chocolate before but I'm sure it'll be in the same way.

cacao is actually bitter, it's just that its been loaded with tons of sugar to make it sweet..
kinda like coffee.. without sugar its freakin bitter and it's also 100% coffee

@dalester23, yes it really is bitter
@fingered, cool! wasabi and bacon chocolate-gotta try it
@sprite, oh so only up to 60% to eat with-yeah I agree
@samravster&darkhilt, yeah I don’t imagine anyone eating it by the bar it’ll be overwhelming

I like up to 80%...any more and it's for baking, not for straight up eating.

I just eat the beans.. fun fact.. chocolate is only sweet because they add sugar and milk... real chocolate is bitter as fuck.. it's a base.

I've had 90% Cocoa bars before...that shit's bitter.

I find myself sprinkling a bit of sugar on it to balance it out.

Ehhh... Swiss chocolate is famous for milk chocolate,so a soft moderatley sweet taste is the most original thing! Since I've tried everything Lindt&Sprüngli, Frey, Milka and every other swiss maker has to offer I would say that the classics are still the best, so basically for me a normal Lindt chocolate has the best taste. France was the first country to produce chocolate as we know, Belgium and Switzerland imported it shortly after, but the swiss put a huge amount of milk into their chocolate so basically a sweet-bitter taste should be more a thing in France and Belgium. Swiss style is with milk and I perfer it that way! <3

I've always loved Belgian milk chocolate. Dark chocolate I'm not a huge fan of, I just mainly use it for cooking.

70% is about the most I can take.
Although dark chocolate is meant to be better for you.

90% seems way too bitter for me...

I normally, being the stingy student I am, take the imitation chocolate for my baking, but tbh, i would love to try baking with a proper choc with a higher percentage, apparently its meant to be better for you as well...

LOL u ate a nigger.

I had a bar of 100% bakers cacao. My mouth wanted to screams bloody murder for how bitter it was, it tasted like chalk to me. :<
I'd rather have sweeter chocolate, though I know its not as good for you.

I like dark chocolate but I'm not sure how dark I can go I normally just eat it when a friend buys me some. I like how it lingers in your mouth.

What is white chocolate is it even chocolate?

Yes I have and I love it :D

that's what cacao tastes like, strong, long lasting *drools*

My country is famous for making this kind of things
i hope you get used to it pretty soon

Sounds terrible. Highest I've ever has was 85%. Very much do not enjoy. Chocolate is meant to be a sweet treat. I like 60% for dark.
