Anyone from the UK?

There is a genetic aspect to this. People with a certain form of TAS2R38 (aka the PTC) gene will perceive sprouts and other brassicas as tasting bitter.

Personally I love sprouts, especially dipped in chocolate!
I thought they'd engineered them to be less bitter in general, haha! I have that thing where coriander tastes like soap. It confused me for a long time as to why others love it. Weirdos. :D

Never tried the dipped in chocolate. Perhaps this year!
 
Once again, I consider dipping stuff in chocolate to make it edible to be cheating!

No ones ever had to dip a Pig in a Blanket in chocolate to…. (disappears to the kitchen with a pack of chipolatas, bacon and Cadbury’s Swirl)

anything dipped in chocolate becomes instantly edible

😂 we discovered the chocolate thing one year at my sister’s for Christmas, by accident. She had a chocolate fountain, all the rage at the time, and we’d run out of strawberries!

Uhm. Many years ago, when I used to drink properly, I was with friends and we had a chocolate fountain. We'd ran out of fruit and so one drunken friend thought that maybe a sausage (cooked) could work... No. It didn't.

Not ANYTHING becomes edible... :sick:

I will believe it and not put it to the test!

Do you drink improperly now?
 
I so thought the drunk friend was going for some other form of sausage. This story was much worse in my head till I read it properly
Potentially resulting in both an aborted fellatio and an appearance on the Local A&E’s most amusing burns of the year list.

I don’t think I’d appreciated chocolate fountains are hot. I’m getting it now that I think about the properties of chocolate. I’m not of a scientific background, that may show from time to time,

Ok, I want to say some clever about drinking from the other side of the glass or something, but the words won't line up. So, I'll just confess that if I drink, it's nowhere near as much. That to me is improper. To be tipsy after 2-3 drinks is shockingly improper. :cautious:

sensible drinking to be encouraged at all times... especially around hot chocolate fountains it seems!
 
I'm pretty sure you can buy prank gifts like this.
Yeah, someone brought Russian Roulette chocolates to a poker night once.

Six identical bullet-shaped chocolates arranged as in a revolver, five tasted like chocolate and one was basically super hot chilli.

You take your pick.

The same friend I mentioned loves these kinds of silly games. She had a jelly bean roulette thing where the bad ones were flavoured as grass, and others I don't remember. The worst one was vomit. She pulls these stupid games out on her birthday every year, knowing we'll all indulge her for one time a year. This is the one night of the year that I'm most likely to over-drink. 🫢
