I've actually seen Cayenne Pepper used in some chocolate desserts. It's spiceyness is supposed to enhance the taste, especially on dark chocolate.
I love pulp... orange pulp, lemon pulp, grapefruit pulp, lime pulp. It's all good for me.

And I'll testify to the power of cayenne and chocolate. Since I started making my own candy a couple years ago and invented my "Chocolates That Bite Back," I have at least 27 new best friends.

(Through mouthfuls of ice cream) Yeah, but I know what you mean about the sandwiches... They have the best wheat bread here at my school... Mmmmm

Is it possible to get a recipe? Or is it one of those "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you" things?

It just involves high quality dark chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Pour them out like Hershey kisses (keep them small!), and dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon.

quote:*wonders how the heck Erik can drink lemonade with chocolate*
Back in the day, when I could eat chocolate, one of my favorite things was German chocolate cake and fresh-squeezed lemonade. Makes my mouth water just to think about it.
Alas, 'tis not to be. Not unless I want a huge case of acid reflux. Posts: 2454 | Registered: Jan 2003

I do a different take on Chocolate and Hot. I drop some chocolate, darker the better, in my Chilli recipe.
However, salt and sweet go great together. I would like a Peanut Buster Parfait, but with good ice cream, not the DQ Squirts, and lots of salty peanuts.

I don't suppose me asking for a scoop of chocolate chip and a coke would make Annie any happier with my boring choices?
If that won't work, I could use a roast beef sandwich with lettuce, pickles, black olives, and swiss cheese.

Can I have a big scoop of pineapple sorbet (like they used to have at Thrifty)? I've been craving some all week. Maybe my mom and I can figure out how to duplicate it....

Alright KEGE - it is your lucky day. I've been really excited about honey for the last couple days for some reason, so I've mixed up just for you a batch of honeycomb ice cream; honey flavored with inexplicable crunchy bits and instead of granulated sugar, I use big crystals of raw sugar. It makes the ice cream sparkly.
And your penchant for the smooth and sweet does indeed say quite a bit about your personality. You've got a flair for the exotic, but you're also quite refined and you have flawless taste in matters of high culture. You're witty and quick, but suave enough to never come off as obnoxious. You really enjoyed Mr. Rogers's Neighborhood as a child
For Chade it's a scoop of Chocolate Chip; nothing prosaic about it. He's a fun-loving, down-to-earth type of kid with a secret unexpressed love for all things Norwegian.
*hands Chade the ice cream and a coke in a classic glass bottle*
And if you're in the mood for a good sandwich, I'd reccommend Tony Caputo's, right down the virtual street about 3 blocks on your right.
And for Ludosti, a nice big serving of pineapple sorbet served in a frozen half-pineapple like it comes in Mexico. Garnished with mint leaves, of course.
She's also a high-class babe, but also a lover of tradition; she also looks great in khakis, a feat which few of us can successfully pull off.

All things Norwegian? I sure didn't see that one coming. I think the factory where I used to work sent some stuff to Norway, that's about as close as I've come to something Norwegian. Weird.

No, you've definitely got secret Norwegian love going on. Maybe you just don't know it. Go buy yourself a troll.

Unfortunately, the troll store here went out of business last month. If I wanted a troll I'd have to order it online or something. That sounds like too much work.

Did I miss an order, Dan!?! Ever so sorry. What'll it be today?
For Rivka - I've got something even better - Montana Moose Moss. It's a tangy mint ice cream with chocolate mint-filled cups and a fudge ribbon. I think it's best eaten in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone. *hands it to Rivka*
And you gotta love the chocolate mint girl - she's spunky and witty and quite the tease. She's also highly fashionable in a quirky sort of way, and secretly collects Star Wars pez dispensers.

I had my first coldstone. It was divine. Could you whip me up a scoop of cheesecake icecream with graham cracker crumbs and peanut butter cups?

ooh - Boon, here's my favorite European treat that I enjoyed once in Carnac, France and didn't shut up about for days:
One scoop of guambara (a really dark chocolate gelato) and one scoop of noisette (hazelnut) - it's like frozen nutella, but richer.
And this, of course, demonstrates your intensely female qualities. You're sultry, suave and confident and not a little mysterious. Plus, you have nice hair and never got caught up in the "hammer pants" fashion craze.

This penchant for peanut butter and cheesecake is a sure sign of a quirky, flirty type. You love Japanimation and often wear the color pink.

Annie, Could I please have two scoops of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Mystic Mint ice cream, which no longer exists?

Annie, look at the trouble you have caused!!!!!!!
"Moscow's Bolshoi Theater was embroiled in a high-profile row on Thursday with an ice-cream-loving ballerina it says is too heavy for ballet partners to lift...
'I love ice cream so much that I can't imagine life without it," she said in a statement handed out at the news conference.'"

Annie - you're right on target except I don't remember watching Mr. Rogers but did watch Captain Kangaroo and Buckskin Bill. I gotta believe that Mr. Rogers probably watched THEM too!
I'll need LARGE quantities of your Honeycomb Special sent me right away because it sounds really yummy! Posts: 874 | Registered: Oct 1999

It's really hot here. How about a nice refreshing sorbet? Not really picky, just as long as it's icy and citrusy.

Alright - for Elizabeth is my closest approximation to Mystic Mint. I, too, was saddenned at its loss, but it appears to have gone the way of Wavy Gravy. Dommage! And I knew you would be asking for something like this, since you have always struck me as the socially conscious type. You dress conservatively and vote liberally and find yourself at home in the solving of moral dilemmas. You also have a strange quirky admiration for something involving buffalo, but the ethers are a little unclear on that one. *hand Elizabeth a frosty dish*
I claim no responsibility for the Russian ballerina debacle. Apparently the surgeon general's warning on my packaging mis-translated somewhere. It probably has something to do with my inability to type even standard diacritical marks, much less the cyrillic alphabet, on my keyboard.
*Packs a to-go pint of honeycomb for KEGE, and hands a cone to Rivka* Inexplicably attractive, no?
And for Chade it's Casbah Cream - an almond icecream with chunks of halvah, discreetly flavored with coriander and sprinkled with bits of sesame seed brickle.
And we all know what that says about your personality... You're trendy and unadventurous and watch a little too much American Idol
And for Erik (my best customer) - how about some Mexican Lime sorbet that is just as good as a margarita with none of the worries about amoebas in the ice.
*hands it to Erik in a salt-rimmed glass*
