On a lighter note

Little Bit is doing imagination games right now. So Sunday morning, she "hands" me a pretend cup, asking if want some lemonade.

I take the "cup", make sipping noises, and say "that's very good. Is it rasberry lemonade?" (Since that's her favourite".)

She goes "No, it's chocolate lemonade!"

Well, I guess it's toddler logic - "If I like two things seperate, then combining them will be even better!"

Still, Chocolate Lemonade?? Blegh!

Definitely a big ol' blegh!

Good morning, dear!

While I heartily agree that chocolate lemonade would be just plain yucky, I want to point out that, for me, it's a textural rather than a taste gaffe. I love lemon-creme chocolate candies, but the texture of the lemon-creme filling and the chocolate coating are comparable, which can't be true of a chocolate syrup and lemonade combo--and a cocoa and lemonade combo would curdle, which is even worse. Good texture (mouth feel) is a very important food quality to me. I've also eaten choclate- and lemon-flavored cakes and cookies that didn't gag me, although I don't like them as much as I like those little candies. So while I wouldn't want Little Bit's lemonade in real life, the very concept doesn't completely squick me.

Chocolate and orange is so popular, but hardly anybody thinks of combining chocolate with lemon. They combine better than one thinks. I made chocolate truffles with bits of lemon peel once and they were a big hit.
