Chocolate Substitute?

[shybearuk]

Further to my earlier question: 'Rare Allergies', I was wondering if anyone can think of a suitable way for me to describe the taste of chocolate to my partner. he knows what it tastes like for him ('Burning'), but I want to something similar to compare it to. The best I've come up with is a very rich coffee cheesecake. Bad I know, but I'm not that bright ;o). And please, no-one suggest carob, as it doesn;t even compare (although maybe it's come along since the last time I had it, circa 1980)

Doesn't every description of taste make a comparison with chicken ?

I would go along with eating a cuddle myself, i think that good swiss milk chocolate is like eating a cuddle in a warm bath...diverting a bit, did anyone else hear the Friday Wogan? he played a record by ? Earl Scruggs called "tastes like chicken"!!
