While being held against my will in Dogpatch, Arkansas yesterday,
 I was handed a "delicately flaked" chocolate truffle, and told,
 "This Belgian chocolate is the finest chocolate in the world."

 Stifling a laugh, I bit my tongue to prevent saying,
 "Oh, please!  'Best-tasting chocolate in the world?'
  You're saying this will taste better than the South's Finest Chocolate?"
 

 ha ha

 That's like saying, "better president than Bill Clinton,"
 or "better guitar player than Jimmy Page."

 ha ha

 Those Arkies have a sense of humor, don't they?

 So, I bit into, and I must admit I was surprised it tasted as good as it did.
 It had some of the same qualities as the South's Finest Chocolate,
 but there was no substance to it. It was a melt-in-your-mouth kind of taste,
 where you couldn't really get a handle on it because it was gone too soon.

 Good after-taste, no problem there, and - truth be told - if there was no
 South's Finest Chocolate, (the Chinaco Anejo of fine, luxury chocolates)
 this fancy Belgian chocolate wouldn't be a bad substitute.

 That reminds me, now that the cooler weather is here, I'm going to whip out
 my credit card and contact the friendly folks at South's Finest Chocolate
 and have them send me ten pounds or so of the "Break up" milk chocolate.

 Oh... life is good.
