The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.

Maybe because it’s not chocolate and we should stop calling it this.

Depends! If you consider chocolate to be food derived from the cocoa bean, then white chocolate is chocolate because it’s made of cocoa butter without the solids!

The powdery stuff you call cocoa is what’s left over once you get rid of the cocoa butter. So if you feel that cocoa solids are required for something to be classified as chocolate… Then no, it’s not chocolate.

I guess it’s the same as asking if vegetable oil is a vegetable.

Now let´s also consider the fact that cocoa butter is free of chocolate flavor because all the chocolate flavor remains in the cocoa powder after the separation.

Unpopular Opinion

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
