chocolate is important

rarely do i agree with andy rooney, best known as the cranky commentator of 60 minutes. but this one time, he is the man.

in a fun list of his 10 best tastes, he starts with salt and sugar -- for what they do for his home-made bread! "you can tell a good restaurant before you eat your meal by the bread they serve," he sagely notes. and he's wise enough to praise the well-known traditional italian bread baked in a coal-fired oven in the bronx by terranova bakery on arthur avenue. andy, we didn't know you had it in ya. . .this bread alone is worth the trek north to arthur avenue's uniquely new-york-italian enclave.

such real bread itself ranks at number 4 on his list, above even chocolate, which comes in at 5. much to my surprise, coffee doesn't appear at all. andy, what's wrong with you? still, rooney's article gets my nod for its elegant statement of an under-appreciated fact: chocolate is important!
