The most bizarre concoction I ever ate was the result of smoking weed, not drinking. College freshman, 2am, in my dorm room with no access to food other than the odds and ends we stored on the bookshelf, an overwhelming case of the munchies. So I mixed myself a bowl of 1/3 cocoa, 1/3 sugar, and 1/3 toasted wheat germ and ate it with a spoon.
To this day I remember how delicious every mouthful was. I must have been pretty stoned.
Funny you should mention that, because last week I picked up for the first time in my life a package of cocoa powder to use in an artistic manner, not to eat, and I tried to eat some of it raw anyway and came out thinking “this almost tastes great, just needs to be slightly sweeter.” I am also thinking of adding just a little sugar to it and see what happens when I eat it with a spoon, and I’m not even drunk or stoned.
DO IT!! A doper sent me some high quality hot cocoa powder a year or two ago, during one of the Secret Santa exchanges, and it was delicious, let me tell you. I had to strictly and severely ration it, and resorted to literally hiding it from myself to make it last longer.
I still wonder, sometimes, how amazing a cup of hot cocoa it may have made. I’ll never know. Ate the entire thing, one fraction of a teaspoon at a time, straight outta the beautiful tin.
