MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Screw you, he didn't say "cacao and vanilla". 
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

well then if he's referring to the finished processed products, "vanilla" must mean the extract and not the raw bean.

you can get drunk on vanilla extract. try getting drunk on chocolate.

If it's just the finished product, then are we talking cocoa powder or chocolate bars? And if it's chocolate bars, since that's a confection, clearly we will need to compare it with a comparable confection made with vanilla. I choose creme brulee.

I hadn't had either in mind upon posting. Instead, I was referring to the taste of the products when *used either as standalone products (cocoa powder or as a confection, for instace) or in a recipe*, with ** being up to the discretion of whoever posted.

My vote, by the way, is for vanilla.
Everything I wish for myself, I wish for you also.
