Silly

I did something I've never done before at lunchtime.

Guess.


Clarification: I had never done this thing before at lunchtime or at any other time. (And it's really not that interesting, I was just being daft & interested to know what people thought I might have done.)

Data points: there is a nice Polish restaurant in Oxford which routinely puts chocolate in main courses, thus combining it with all kinds of unexpected savoury things. And blackherring makes a habit of dipping chocolate fingers in houmous, and has so far failed to destroy civilization by so doing.

I put chocolate in chilli con carne. It really improves the flavour.

(Nice 70% cocoa dark chocolate, not horrible sweet fatty stuff of course.)

70%? I suppose you'd use the lighter stuff for cooking, yeah... (99% is where it's at!)

Actually presumably for cooking you could just chuck cocoa in. Or would that be different?

Somewhere I have a recipe for casserole which includes a pint of coffee...

I don't think cocoa would work as well - the fats, you know.
I find about an ounce to each pound of mince is about right for 70%.

Mmm, I did that once. It worked really well. Must try it again.
