ethnographic accounts and domori 100%

Tue, Apr 29, 2008

as i was stuck on the words “ethnographic accounts” in the middle of a sentence while trying to describe what i believe to be the original contribution of my dissertation, suddenly a vivid memory of the last time i tasted a bar of Domori 100% cocoa (it was more than two months ago, sigh) appeared out of the blue in my mind, quickly followed by the other taste (a tiny bit of Green&Black 85% bar) from which i had moved on to the Domori.

it felt a bit like being in that lovely surreal film — The science of sleep — but instead of Stéphane’s exhilarating dreams, a symphony of gargantuan chocolate bars was festively dancing in my mind. is this what happens when one starts knowing tastes and names of the various bars of goodness?

chocolate will have to have a prominent place in my dissertation’s acknowledgements section…
