Cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast taste chocolate for first time - General

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;45536729]do they really put white people on a pedestal like that? they talk like they're some kind of higher being.[/QUOTE] At first I misread this as white chocolate. I got really confused for a moment there.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;45537327]Black presenter in video is speaking French. The narrator is speaking Dutch.[/QUOTE] The rest of the people also speaks french, albeit with an incredibly strong accent. They however seem to speak their own language when they aren't talking to the narrator himself. Don't know what it is.

Makes me want some investor to start up a local chocolate production factory. [editline]30th July 2014[/editline] I was kind of surprised that they took to the taste immediately. I always imagine people reacting with a moment of uncertain hostility to unknown flavors before it wins them over. that's chocolate for you, i guess [editline]30th July 2014[/editline] i made sure to grab five twix bars before starting this video

If any of you ever come to denmark you have to taste this on a toasted bread. i personally like dark chocolate best [img]http://www.scannetbutik.dk/out/pictures/master/product/1/43qabf3e5814db0ffb73c0fc0a4a4a39_1.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.scannetbutik.dk/out/pictures/master/product/1/lrk21fd1d6bea51085858f531aceedfa_1.jpg[/img]

I really need to try high qaulity chocolate. I've only ever eaten Hershey's chocolate.

Let's hope that TheFineBros don't see this. Otherwise they might make a new series like "Cocoa Farmers React To" No, but seriously this was rather heartwarming to see. I'm glad they got to enjoy it.

[QUOTE=Monkey san;45541629]nah dark chocolate is shit[/QUOTE] Finally someone that agrees with me. When I think of chocolate I think of sweet, creamy candy. Not bitter crap.

[QUOTE=simzboy;45547529]I really need to try high qaulity chocolate. I've only ever eaten Hershey's chocolate.[/QUOTE] Hershey's barely counts as chocolate.

[QUOTE=squids_eye;45547851]Hershey's barely counts as chocolate.[/QUOTE] I love me some Hersheys cookies and cream chocolate bars, but yeah you gotta eat them knowing that they're literally not chocolate. They basically replace all the cocoa butter with vegetable oil and its barely got any actual chocolate content in it. [editline]31st July 2014[/editline] Double checking my facts on this one, it appears that this is only true specifically for the cookies and cream bar. The normal Hershey's bars do qualify for the FDA definition of actual chocolate by including pure cocoa butter, even if its only 11%

Y'all gotta try Cadbury's chocolate or Galaxy chocolate, it's the best shit yo.

haha i love how he mentions he has another bar and they all just cheer and "celebration" starts playing.

[QUOTE=simzboy;45547529]I really need to try high qaulity chocolate.

I always thought the best chocolate would be from somewhere in Europe, possibly Belgium or Switzerland.

[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;45549020]cadbury changed their formula years ago I swear used to be super soft and melted easily but now it's kind of gritty in a way. still good but I dunno, swear it used to be better.[/QUOTE] Kraft bought Cadbury and yankified it.

american chocolate is designed to be inserted 30-40 bars at a time for optimal obesity trust me it's in the secret constitution

[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;45536554] These are less than a euro and godtier [img]http://proddb.kraft-hosting.net/prod_db/proddbimg/17793.png[/img][/QUOTE] Woah why don't they have these in Canada? Or maybe they do and never noticed, I have not bought a chocolate bar in years.

I'm amazed at how humble those people were. Astounding.

Absolutely heartwarming

I can't believe this , And people in western world keep complaining about their pay. the lower class makes 10 times what these guys make :( . [editline]31st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=LuaChobo;45541668]I must be the only person on the planet that doesn't particularly like any form of chocolate[/QUOTE] actually I am the same , I just keep away from it never buy any type of chocolate.

Maybe it is just narrow perspective, but all the food critics are British, every time someone complains about American food they are British, and even Ashens is practically insulted by stuff I eat on a daily basis. It's not a bad thing, it is just funny because the stereotype here is that British food is bland. The truth is that we, as Americans, are trained to shove any old shit in our mouths, good or not. Even I eat shit that tastes pretty bad just because it [I]happens to exist.[/I] It is part of the consumer lifestyle to, you know, consume.

There were tribes in the Pacific who would find things washed up on the shore then build wooden replicas of radios and airfields (even the planes) in an attempt to attract more stuff.
