    Death by chocolate

    A local dairy company manufactures a type of ice cream known as Death By Chocolate. (It is chocolate ice cream, supplemented by swirls of chocolate sauce, and large pieces of chocolate.)

    If I were a condemned man in Tennessee, and had exhausted all my appeals; and if I were then asked (in keeping with the custom) if I preferred to die by lethal injection or electrocution; I think I would reply: "Neither. I prefer to experience death by chocolate."

    No doubt, the guards would then bring me all the ice cream that I could eat...

    I remember hearing a joke many years ago, about a man who falls into a large vat of chocolate and begins shouting, "Fire! Fire!" When some people come to his rescue, they ask him, "Why were you yelling 'Fire!'?", and he responds, "Would you have come if I yelled 'Chocolate!'?"

    I would definately prefer the "Death by Chocolate". I love that stuff. If I was in a death row situation i'd be trying to buy time. After they brought my ice cream I'd be like " thank you , would it asking too much for a few bowls of me Lucky Charms too?

    Non-Americans sometimes have difficulty believing some of the things we come up with, in terms of food. I was on a British forum and we were discussing ice cream. I mentioned that my then-favorite flavor was Ben & Jerry's Caramel Sutra, which I explained was chocolate and caramel ice creams with fudge chips and a soft caramel core. They could scarcely believe that such decadence existed.

    A cake named Death by Chocolate has been around as long as I can remember and served in restaurants.
    If you want a 2,000 calorie piece of cake if you see it order it

    They also have an brownie with chocolate ice cream chocolate sauce and choco chunks thats served in restaurants with the same name

    Even when I was on the heavier side I couldn't eat those things, my cravings were for stuff like pizza and wings.

    I really eat very little now, too little, been trying to eat more. We were off in the wilds driving my son to the airport hundreds of miles away, stayed overnight. Had sushi in the big city last night and her and my son shared a "Mt. Figi" fudge cake ice cream thing, it was massive. I had a little spoon full of the ice cream but that's all I wanted.

    I know I probably sound arrogant maybe but I look at some of this stuff and think "Jesus Christ..." and reflect on western society. Consumptive, materialistic. I never really got it throughout my life and I really don't get it now.

    This is why we send our children to war for? To die for?

    I walked into a diner 10 years ago or so and ordered a hot dog. The waitress then asked me if I wanted it grilled or deep fried and i chucked at her joke. But it was NOT a joke. The deep fried hot dogs with bacon and cheese! Somebody actually found a way to make the hot dog LESS healthy.

    Actually, it's not the individual, occasional foods that cause obesity, its the quantity people consume. If one were to indulge in that death by chocolate ^^^^ thing on occasion, and I really can't see someone eating it as daily fare, and ate reasonable portions of reasonably healthy foods the rest of the time, likely they wouldn't end up being obese.

    However, you get those who do the McD's everyday, soda, heavy carbs and then that dessert on a regular basis, then yeah, there will be a weight problem.
