If I had to guess:
Hectic, Madison, and JHDK would want to try that.
Scotch and 98 would be indifferent.
IRBS, sadchild, and Wolf would not want to try that.
Not sure about Jon.

I think I could say I have tried Dubai chocolate before. Someone made some brownies out of it, and it wasn't bad. I normally don't care for pistachios.

Going to the candy store and trying a smaller version, which is probably more realistic taste what I had. I would say I would want to try it again.
 
When Aaron said, I probably wouldn't try Dubai chocolate. There are certain foods I normally wouldn’t try before. Because my boyfriend tricked me to try a couple. Growing up I usually always have been a picky eater and would never try certain foods. Couple years ago, I was at a picnic party, and my boyfriend brother was serving meat. I tried some and it was gyro lamb meat and damn this was one of the best things I had. Time went on, I don't care for seafood. I have had some white meat, shrimp and calamari which is from squid. Also now, I like some Indian and Mediterranean foods.

Accurate. Yes I do-buy chocolate. But I'm not interested in Dubai Chocolate.

I know you wanted to see a list of different types of chocolate – but I make lists of songs.

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, a band from Natick, Massachusetts, released seven studio albums and one live album in the 1970s-80s. From their 1986 album It's Time For, here is the beautiful, heartfelt, sentimental ballad Double Chocolate Malted. "Don't put nuts on it! No nuts! No nuts!"

I found them at the cash register just now. $15.99 but I went for it. I like it a lot, not overly sweet, good texture. Not likely to pay that much for this again, but with a big price drop, for sure. Also because the serving size is pretty big, this one will hold me for a few days.

They've got a song that anyone over 50 knows of called Roadrunner. I never cared for it. But like The Fools "It's A Night (For Beautiful Girls)" (which I do like) it's just one of those things that if you lived here in the 70s, you probably know about it.

I'm pretty sure I'll never find an ice cream flavor I like more than this one.
I always bounce around between different brands and flavors but this one stopped me in my tracks and I only want this one now. It's that good. Depending on your tastes and preferences.

Yeah, I need some time off to hang out.

One place I won't being hanging out at, is the York Harbor Reading Room. It's like an old mansion, and very visible from the "townie" beach, but it's a private club. They have a lot of weddings there. In the picture below, the beach is upper right.

From the beach, you can just see people having a smug, superior good time. They even have a walking path (the Cliffwalk) so that us regular folks can go around it, and we can see what we're missing, and they can look down on the "little people".

And they're doing this

As I posted back in 2020, the York Harbor Inn properties (which includes the York Harbor Inn hotel and restaurant, the Cellar Pub, the Chapman Cottage hotel and restaurant, and the York Harbor Reading Room) has a private club that sits on a ledge overlooking the beach, called the Reading Room. I said in the earlier post that "I won't be hanging out there", because you have to be a member to enter.

Well, the Land Trust organization, of which I'm a member (and Mrs. Scotch is on the board) had their annual meeting there on Sunday, so I managed to get a picture of a little bit of the deck, and in the distance you can see the beach covered in seaweed.

There was a nice setup of tables, people, drink servers, and appetizers behind me, but I don't want to be posting pictures of them on some random forum. After staring at this imposing old mansion for 9 summers of coming to the beach, it was a bit underwhelming to actually be inside. But it was a very nice event.
 
That's what she said!!!!


Sorry...

Funny how it works like that.

Some of the private clubs that I've gotten into for various reasons have been the same way.

It always seems to be more about who else is there and who can't be that makes those places more interesting to people.

Since you came to this forum specifically, the forum is not random.

Not random to me, but random to them. Arbitrary, really. But why start using proper grammar now?

Speaking of random and arbitrary, I'm reminded of this George Carlin bit:

“I have a friend who happens to be Black.”

“Happens to be Black?”

“Yes, he happens to be Black.”

“Ahhh, yes yes yes yes yes. He had two Black parents?”

“Oh, yes, that’s right. Two Black parents, yes.”

“And they f***ed?”

“Oh, indeed they did. Yes.”

“So, where does the surprise part come in? I should think it would be more unusual if he just happened to be Scandinavian.”
