New Lemmy trend incoming

I mean this could be an interesting combo, sweet and savoury together can be amazing if done ri-

sees its Hersheys

No I agree, whoever made this should be sent to the hague.

Correct, Hershey's is not for human consumption.

It was the worst thing about my holiday in America. The chocolate is universally terrible. Way too sweet, rough texture and chemical taste to the dairy content (something in the milk used).
- It's the butric acid

the real crime is using Hershey's or any other American milk chocolate 🤮

As is usually the case for this kind of thing, there are tons of good chocolates from America. They just don't come from major brand names.

For that matter, Nestlé is Swiss.
- I specified American milk chocolate because American milk chocolate typically uses a more sour milk which gives it its distinctive flavour. Personally I can't really stand it but to each their own.

It's actually a pretty good idea to add chocolate to certain savory dishes. Not that much or that kind, but still.

I put a single extremely dark chocolate square in my chili, it's quite nice!

Never Hershey milk chocolate though
Mole sauce, for example. It's absolute bliss!
- Mole is absolutely delicious

Chocolate or cocoa powder in chili yes

But not that much. Just a lil very dark chocolate

That's not chili, I see beans, so it appears to be a bean soup or bean stew, but I concur, a bit of cocoa and/or a touch of cinnamon can really elevate a chili or bean stew.
- A purist I see!
- Pfft, I bet you don't even think a hot dog is a sandwich.
- Huh, I didn't know chili had such an incredibly strict definition. Does this strict definition mean that adding anything extra no longer makes it chili? If so is chocolate, cocoa, or cinnamon also included in this super strict definition? If not then isn't adding these things make it some kind of "stew" not chili? Or is it just beans that make this dish magically transform into something else?
  
  I'd love to see this definition. Specifically where it says "unless it has beans, then it becomes something else"

I think we should collective start putting quotes around the word "chocolate" when referring to Hershey's "chocolate".

I put cocoa powder in my chili.

Yeah, cocoa powder enhances the flavor of the chili without making it taste like chocolate. What's going on this picture is a crime though.
- To be fair, the ratio of milk chocolate (15%) to dark chocolate (80%) works out to about 70% cocoa.
  
  Chef put in about 10x too much, but maybe we don't know how deep that pot is.
  
  I say give it its day in court before we start thowibg around words like 'crime" or "inhumane"
Yeah, same here.

Nervously eats my Cincinnati Chili

See, that's okay because:

it's Cincinnati Chili

Dark Chocolate is typically added.

The picture is cursed because they fucking used hershey's milk chocolate.
- Yeah but I bet they ate their chili with spaghetti.
Skyline Sixway: spaghetti, chili, a sepia photograph of garlic, grated laserdisc, a 747, and anxiety

Scrolling past this on an amoled screen with extra-low brightness this kinda looked like a satellite with solar arrays lol

Chocolate and spice actually go together really well. Like Mexican mole and, yes, chili. Though you would usually use an unsweetened dark chocolate (like 70% or more cacao).
