    ^

    btw, 86% cote d'or is very nice for anyone who still could care less... question; how do they get the 100% stuff to hold in the shape of a bar anyway?

    Correct I'm teetotal - just trying to fill a gap in my understanding, I don't think you would be able to sell everclear in the UK (based, ironically on a conversation down the pub) but I've been in a pub which had a Polish spirit (~79% vol) not sure if this was on sale legally just wondering what the limit by volume is if any.

    It could be that, it was a small bottle

    may be anything goes volume wise, I noticed Poteen on that website - IMO a nasty Irish drink

    Knockeen Hills Poteen 90% :: Irish Poteen :: Bibacity - mail order drinks

    Health Warning:

    It is recommended that as this Gold Extra-Strength Poteen spirit is rated at 90% Abv., only one 2.5 cl. measure should be consumed in any one 24 hour period. It must always be diluted by at least three parts of a non-alcoholic drink or as part of a cocktail, containing similar properties. It is not advised that this spirit drink is taken as a shooter.

    That didn't register, in my drinking days I would consider that amount of alcohol a waste of time - err not that I would encourage anyone to drink too much, but the bit about mixing it makes sense...

    Re: Like Chocolate.....try the 95% pure stuff...

    yep mixing makes sense. but if your mixing i can see an advantage to this over using vodka - but more of it. cost you a lot less for a start

    Re: Like Chocolate.....try the 95% pure stuff...

    Cadburys bourneville is the best dark chocolate I've had . I like lindt too.

    And people complaining about dairy milk, complain more about galaxy. That junk tastes more of sugar then chocolate. As the name suggests, dairy milk is supposed to be milky! No way!!!

    Mmmmm... Cadburys.

    Oh dairy milk actually tastes a lot better on cadburys biscuits then on its own.

    Re: Like Chocolate.....try the 95% pure stuff...

    Dark chocolate is the best.... and Green & Black's (and Valrhona) gets my vote every time, but as far as I know, I don't think you are supposed to eat the really high cocoa level stuff as it is ... that is meant for cooking etc.


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    I'm a big fan of random european chocolate from Lidle.

    They usually have a really nice dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts. really yummy.

    Lindt France - 99% cacao

    I actually quite like the 99% stuff. The trick is to eat it in tiny amounts, like you would sip an expresso rather than take big gulps
