I had a honey pepper vodka the other day. It even had real chilies inside. Kind of good, but I can’t imagine taking more than one or two sips of the stuff.
Yeah I’m just asking for heartburn when I wash something spicy down with a sweet drink. Not sure if the milk in the chocolate milk would counteract that though.
I didn’t always feel this way but I now like my coffee black. Milk seems to ruin it. Never tried it with chocolate milk though and never nwith a 50/50 mix. Kahlua is good in coffee!
I’m not gonna lie, IHOP’s “funny face” pancake or whatever it is ROCKS! I wouldn’t hesitate to order one and wash it down with chocolate milk. In fact, up until now I didn’t even realize that would be a social faux pas.
Life is too short to order uninteresting food to impress people who may be eating near you.
Win!!!
For me, the appropriateness of what I order in a restaurant is based on a) whether it is on the menu, and b) what I want to consume. If I want chocolate milk (which is awesome, BTW), I order chocolate milk. I don’t give what others might think of me a second thought.
I think it safest if you just find something to judge about every person you encounter. That way, you never have to wonder if you missed an opportunity. Works for me! 
A few months ago my wife and I were in Chicago and went to Xoco for some churros y chocolate – I had never had Mexican chocolate before. It reminded me of chocolate milk that had been thickened to the consistency of gravy, with a much stronger flavor. I really couldn’t drink it but it was perfect for dipping our churros into.
It’s the fat content in milk that does it. The spiciness in most foods is oil based so water does little to dilute it. Milk has fat (which is essentially an oil) so it can dilute the spiciness.
That sounds really good. Was it not very good tasting or just to spicy. I like spicy so if it tatses good I think I’ll have to check something like that out.
Not only that, but Mexican hot chocolate is actually a well-known, and popular, drink.
In Paris we found a bakery/cafe that serves a hot chocolate that tastes like dark chocolate. Incredibly delicious, I haven’t found anything else similar anywhere else.
Not overly spicy. You feel the burn from the alcohol and from the peppers. You know the spice is there but it doesn’t hurt you like a raw pepper would. What would keep me from drinking it is the combination of sweet, alcohol and spice which would quickly give me heart burn.
The next time I go to a restaurant, I’m ordering a great big glass of chocolate milk.
It’s not ordering chocolate milk that’s childish. I agree the guy gets bonus cool point for bucking the trend. What’s childish is having so little refinement in your palate that you’d actually want to order chocolate milk. That’s minus a million cool points, so it’s a net loss.
Whoever tried to make the counterpoint that toast is also childish, that was a retarded fail. Ordering a chocolate milk is like ordering a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread with the crusts cut off. Nothing wrong with ordering it; it’s the wanting it that’s a sign of arrested development. Of course adults are “allowed” to be in a state of arrested development, but it’s hardly something worthy of praise.
If you don’t care about being childish – not looking childish in a restaurant, but actually being childish – go nuts with the chocolate milk. (Arguing that coffee is gross isn’t exactly helping the cause, btw.)
Reminds me of the Friends scene between Ross and Chandler:
Chandler: Whatcha making?
Ross: Chocolate milk. Want some?
Chandler: I’m 29.
I’m not at all sure that I buy your premise, but I’m curious about something.
If you do want something childish, is it worth more cool points to admit that you do and actually ask for it, or pretend that you don’t, hide your childish desire, and ask for something that isn’t so childish?
And if you like something childish, is there, (in your opinion,) any way to mature your tastes so that you don’t like it any more? Yes, you can make a point of going out and trying new things, things that are sophisticated, but you can’t force yourself to like any of them better than the childish thing. It either happens or it doesn’t, and what next if it doesn’t?
So the career, the mortgage, weekend yard maintenance, child rearing and general household running count for naught because I don’t have a refined enough palate? Wow.
Years of hard work and tough decisions gone to waste because I enjoy peanut butter and jelly and think dark chocolate tastes a little like dirt. Huh, incredible. :rolleyes:
I was with you up until the dark chocolate remark. That’s just crazy talk.
Only drink chocolate milk if it’s organic. You don’t really want to know why.
It’s all the same.
Then you have childish tastes. There is no law requiring adults to be sophisticated. It’s certainly not something to take pride in, but hey, that seems to be the direction the culture is moving so have at it.
On a side note, I’m not impressed by the sophistication of the premise of this quote any more than I would be an adult ordering chocolate milk in a restaurant. It seems to imply that things geared for a child’s simplistic palate are good while things geared for the more sophisticated palate of an adult are bad.
I haven’t a clue what your laundry list of grown-up responsibilities has to do with your palate. I also noticed you dropped the “cutting off the crusts” and “ordering in a restaurant” part of the example. Do you do that, or even want to do that? If not, then I wasn’t talking about you.
“When I became a man I put away childish things - including the fear of being thought childish”
(CS Lewis, I think?)
late to the party
Silly is noticing, let alone caring, what someone else orders in a restaurant.
FYI, I gave up milk decades ago but would never presume to begrudge someone their beverage choice.
I drink baby blood.
