The Answer Is Yes

To both questions. The only question in my mind is if you should go for something Cosmic and out there, or full of thrust and vigor as you launch yourself on your musical career.

As for the central theme of the post, it has never really bothered me that I remember. Then again I am a wolf and to be honest I truly enjoy eating my favorite prey alive. That said, my distaste for chocolate bunnies was mainly to do with the fact that when I was growing up you could not find a dark chocolate one anywhere. I ate the milk chocolate and enjoyed them, but if I had had my druthers...

My Ex was fond of squirrels and I took great delight in eating the chocolate ones we found for Easter in front of her. Sadistic, yes, but enjoyable. I don't really recall the Santa's, but if it was chocolate I ate it without a whole lot of concern. Moose droppings, eggs, Einstein, whatever -- if it is reasonably good chocolate it was and is gone without quibble. That's the nice thing about chocolate, you can be very inventive. It can be poured into molds, wrapped around molds (I know of a couple that found a new use for the ice cream shell chocolate that made them both very happy), you can flavor it, and you can even sculpt it. Joy.

Then again, if you are really squeamish, don't go read this post about some modern Romans and what is getting eaten by whom.

Come to think of it, there was one animal-based food item that I did not like as a child. Too sweet, too fluffy, too bleh.

Peep Peep.

Damn you, LW... This post made my blood sugar spike 20 points just reading it. And At 6:25am, I really don't need that ;).

Dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate (which I'll only eat if there's no alternative), but bittersweet chocolate is best. I've never liked chocolate santa, bunnies, etc, because they're usually poorer quality chocolate that doesn't taste good. But if it's good chocolate, I say who cares what shape it's in?

Also, chocolate should be unadulterated with anything - no cherries, truffles, marshmallows, flavorings, etc. I like mine straight up!

OOOOOHHHH, I LOVE dark chocolate. It's my fave. I'll eat milk chocolate in a pinch, but give me the dark stuff any day. They make dark chocolate bunnies now. I found some at Lindt chocolates one Easter. I bought my own bunny, handed it to my spouse and said, "Here, put this in my basket." Best bunny I ever ate... all in one sitting.

Dark chocolate Moose Munch from Harry and David, wow, there's another... :)
