Chocolate and Vanilla: the Eternal Paradox

[BADGE OF HONOR]

Screw you, he didn't say "cacao and vanilla". 

[East Coast Hustle]

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.

E/O/T.

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.
