It has no flavour when it's been in the fridge, pointless eating it.

wowfudge · 13/05/2016 14:11

Decent chocolate should snap at room temperature. Plus chilling it masks the flavour.

harryhausen · 13/05/2016 14:12

God no. It looses all its taste. Ew.

sonlypuppyfat · 13/05/2016 14:12

OP you could not be more wrong, you could try but would not be successful

Oreocrumbs · 13/05/2016 14:14

Very unreasonable..... Very.

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 14:14

I've given up on pretending I prefer "decent" chocolate.

I like cheap chocolate all cold and hard from the fridge.

My DH freezes it.

I think that's a step too far.

Room temperature is acceptable if there is no fridge.

Ot if it's a cream egg or toffee crisp

My DH is always putting chocolate in the Fridge, I can't stand it, give me room temp or slightly warm any day!

Savagebeauty · 13/05/2016 14:15

I hate warm chocolate.

MyKingdomForBrie · 13/05/2016 14:15

YANBU at all, but I am very aware that I do not have advanced taste buds and am basically a food heathen!

WhatwouldRuthdo · 13/05/2016 14:16

YABVVU. Chocolate from the fridge is a shameful waste. Your DH has got it right.

PestilentialCat · 13/05/2016 14:16

fridge-cold toblerone is lovely Smile

other choc at coolish room temp please Smile

LittleMissBossyBoots · 13/05/2016 14:17

YABU

Chocolate should be all warm and melty and delcious. Preferably dripping after a coffee dunking.

scarednoob · 13/05/2016 14:18

this is my current obsession - it even says on it "best serve chilled":

Me= room temp from the cupboard
DP= fridge cold

It's good because I'm less likely to swipe his Grin I can't taste it when it's cold.

NoSpamPam · 13/05/2016 14:19

No i hate cold chocolate I love it melty

EponasWildDaughter · 13/05/2016 14:20

Chocolate should only be eaten along with a big glass of cold milk sometimes in the same mouthful, all chewed and swished about together Grin

PuppyMonkey · 13/05/2016 14:22

Fry's Chocolate Cream straight from the fridge, there is literally nothing nicer. No flavour, me arse.

readingrainbow · 13/05/2016 14:22

I've stopped eating chocolate, but dh prefers it from the fridge or frozen. I could barely taste it in that state. Pointless!

ICanSeeForMiles · 13/05/2016 14:23

Only Mars Bars should be chilled, and sliced before eating. Everything else, room temperature, followed by ice cold milk.

scarednoob · 13/05/2016 14:23

yes to the ice cold milk! if no milk is to be found, cold water is an acceptable but weaker substitute.

I wonder about those who can't taste it when cold. do we fridge lovers have superior tastebuds, that we can taste it through the cold - or deeply inferior ones, that can't process the difference?!

BaronessBomburst · 13/05/2016 14:24

Chocolate should be at least 85% cocoa solids or it's not chocolate.
And never in the fridge!

BaronessBomburst · 13/05/2016 14:25

Inferior. Grin

Onsera3 · 13/05/2016 14:26

Can't stand room temp choc. Fridge or not at all.

GipsyDanger · 13/05/2016 14:30

Thank you! Just reminded me I've got a kitkat chunky in the fridge just now GrinChocolate

DoinItFine · 13/05/2016 14:33

Chocolate is chocolate if it says (or implies) chocolate on the (plastic) wrapper.

If I wanted to be told what I was allowed to refer to as chocolate, I'd move to Belgium 😋😉😀

I am a fully paid up member of the cold chocolate with a glass of cold milk. Mmmmm.

My sensitive and superior taste buds can taste all the subtleties of the vegetable oil.
