They actually aren’t repeated, it’s just that the person who took the photographs took more than one (delicious) shot. If you notice on the pasta photo, there is much more sauce on the pasta in the second picture than the first. Look closely.

Cory, further London chocolate recommendations: Melt, Ledbury Road W11 and William Curley Richmond, Belgravia and Harrods (blimey!) - http://www.williamcurley.co.uk/engine/shop/page/Boutiques both a bit off of your usual easterly patch but worth it if you’re in the area.

I eat 100 grams of dark chocolate per day with the opportunity of a rescue dose as needed.

I had a maki roll with scallops (twice) with spicy chocolate sauce in Moncton, NB a few years back. The first time it was delicious, which is why we went back a few weeks later, but the second time it wasn’t as good and we felt rushed, even though we were the only two people at this restaurant. I used to love chocolate, then a few years ago I didn’t eat it for 3 months, and since then I stopped craving it. I’ll still eat it if it’s around and I’m craving something sweet, but it’s never my first choice any more.

Good quality chocolate is good for you; “poison” is sugary stuff like chocolate/ candy bars, ex. Mars, Snickers KitKat, etc. Having some sugar isn’t the end of the world. Fake sugars are actually worse and more addictive, because they are hundreds of times sweeter than regular sugar, your body ends up craving more sweets after consuming items which contain synthetic sugars are are usually labeled “diet”. A good rule to healthy eating is to read the ingredients and if the list is too long and full of weird words, don’t buy it. Also, when grocery shopping stick to the perimeter of the store, and avoid the middle, with a few exceptions, like baking ingredients, rice, etc.

I’m sure they were all shot on iPhones, then photoshopped with a $0.99 app.

Uh, on the iPhones.

What gear and technique went into these photos? I find the result far more compelling than most of the professional work I see.

Read the title as “copropornaholic”. Not even gonna Google that one to make sure it’s a real word.

Seconded! Too goddamned long; did NOT bother looking. Generally speaking, I’m fine with a half-dozen photos regarding something fairly odd, unusual, bizarre, unique, etc. Maaaybe 10. I’m a big fan of Boston.com’s thrice-weekly photo essays. That being said, honestly, what was the point in this case with posting (60? Did I count that right?) this many photos? What ever is the point, unless it is specifically as a service to the content owners so their own servers don’t take an earth-shattering dump when 5 million BB nerds come along?
The last question is an honest one. I’m genuinely curious because the more I think about it, the more I think that it is odd behavior and now I’m wondering if it isn’t specifically because someone’s worried about someone else’s servers getting thoroughly hosed.

Disclaimer: no idea what Cory does or doesn’t do or what his “philosophy” is.

That said, many sugar opponents handle this by maintaining that only white sugar is “poison,” preferring brown sugar, molasses or unrefined sugar-molasses-goo instead. There’s niche-market chocolate for exactly those people.

Seriously. I scrolled through several pictures before loudly exclaiming “Mother FUCKER! Who did this?” Then I came here to add my voice to the protest (going through the same scrolling idiocy, not thinking that I could simply go to the end of the page).

I only asked Cory because he’s publicly written that he has (or has tried to) eliminate sugar from his diet and that for him even small amounts tend to snowball into more and more. Is this posting a public withdrawal from his earlier position?

Personally, I’m an advocate of gorging oneself periodically. Too many people waste their youth in order to prolong their death.

I think the trick is that you don’t need to eat an ungodly amount of chocolate. ”Poison” is always about dosage, and with the items shown here are not the sort of thing on which one would regularly gorge oneself.

Duh? Dark chocolate is still 20%-50% sugar by weight.

Sigh. OK, BB – I like you, but this has to stop. Put a break point in your posts so my RSS reader doesn’t load 50 full size images. Put it below the first image for all I care – I like chocolate too. I wasn’t going to click the link to see the pics, and I STILL haven’t looked at them beyond scrolling past them as fast as my page-down button would take me, but click I did. I clicked the link to come here and ask you to PLEASE use the features built in to the RSS spec for exactly this reason. Please.

There used to be a really, really, really good chocolatier in Montreal, “Café Toman”. Some of the photos look a lot like what they used to make.

I have to locate this book. I hope they have roughly the same recipes that they were using. I was spoiled from any other chocolate after tasting their concoctions.

Cory, how does chocolate fit in with your “sugar is poison” philosophy? Do you still enjoy chocolate occasionally?
