[Lee]:
Well, you ain't experienced anything until you've tried Mexican chocolate.
I'm not sure of the make, but it's heavy, very granular, almost as though
there were undissolved cocoa or sugar in it. It is the strangest texture
I've ever had. It was also a most interesting taste and I'm diddled if I
can come up with a proper description. (Of course, it was in 1987 when I
ate the stuff, so trying to recreate that taste memory is rough.) In a
word, though, I would say it might have been made by an amateur. :-)
   
  ***Katie: As a (sometimes ashamed to be...) American, I have to insert that not every American is raised on Hershey's chocolate and crappy cheddar cheese. I love European chocolate, both milk and dark, and I am a cheese fiend. I hate any kind of processed cheese, and I have been known to travel 50 miles or more for a good cheese shop...and then spend lavish amounts of money on the kind of cheddar that burns a hole through the tongue. I own books about cheese...and while in England, I always seek out the local cheesemonger to show me the promised land. 
   
  A cheese and chocolate loving American, Katie
