Hints of Wine? Chocolate Enters the Tasting Room By JULIA MOSKIN:
Americans traditionally prefer milk chocolate, which is used in virtually all candy bars. But according to annual studies conducted by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association, the percentage of Americans who prefer dark chocolate to milk has risen steadily, from 15 percent in 1991 to 27 percent in 2002. And among Americans 35 and over, the preference for dark chocolate has now risen to 37 percent.
Me, too. I wonder how long it will take the American mass marketers to catch on. Still, it doesn't have to be the hoity-toity stuff the article presents. I like tablets that I get at ED's or Monoprix in Paris: dark chocolate with hazelnuts or orange peel.
