eurochocolate & espresso will

seems like this week's annual italian eurochocolate (flash required) festival was the usual tremendous success.

featured was the world's largest chocolate, made not only for the record books, but also as a political stab at the e.u.'s stupid chocolate rules.

the e.u., under political influence from certain "chocolate" makers, is lessening quality standards to force cheaper quality chocolate onto europe. the french and italians are struggling to hold out.

long-time readers may recall that i've writtten about this controversy before.

and, as much as i prefer to keep bccy light-hearted for the most part, i really have to get serious here for a moment. no, no, it's not about the world-price depression known as the coffee crisis, or nyc's threat to gillies, or even coffeekids.

recent sad current events have proven you really must make your most personal, private health choices known to the planet. my choice: as long as the tube accepts coffee or valrhona hot chocolate, keep me plugged in.

thank you. i'm sure any serious pain problems can be managed by proper doses of opiates and espresso. . .
