Belgian Chocolate

Belgian Chocolate is still the very, very best.

OK. I admit. I'm biased. But when everyone here in the US I've given chocolates to (neighbors, colleagues, friends) is raving about it, take their word. They're not the type of people who'd just push compliments if they didn't mean it. And this wasn't even the top of the line of Belgian gourmet chocolate, but good, old reliable Cote d'or 'Boucheetjes'.
Discard the Hershey's and that other junk. Belgian chocolate rules!

Another win for quality ingredients (cocoa butter anyone) over cheap quantity (vegetable oil replacements). Goes for a lot of things when you think about it, not just chocolates, but most material items, lifestyle and friends. I'm firmly in the quality camp.
That's a direction I wish society would follow more: quality and depth over quantity and superficial materialism.
