Liverish
Bruges is beautiful... canals and beer and chocolate and interesting museums and waffels.
Don't let children or impressionable adults near the Choco-Story museum, though. If you believe the posters, chocolate is not fattening, helps prevent tooth decay, may well be an aphrodisiac, and fights diabetes. And my personal favourite, illustrated by friendly x-ray cocoa bean liver - "No, chocolate does not make you liverish." In fact: "Consumed in normal quantities, chocolate produces no heptatic intolerance effect". Uh-huh.

Pâté is kind of liverish isn't it?
And very tasty pate, liver and choccy are too! But probably not at the same time...
That's a great collection of half truths. It's all true, except (as you said to me yourself Joe) that you don't usually eat chocolate without tons of sugar! Which of course has the exact opposite effect on every point. Except perhaps the livery one?
Unless you eat the lovely 99% pure stuff Lindt do. But you can't get that in the UK (that I've ever found!)
Hmmm... there's niche market waiting to be opened up. To the four people I've ever met who like it that strong (four including me).
