**1. Which of the following types of chocolate do you prefer?**  
a) dark chocolate

**2. Which of the following types of wine do you prefer?**  
e) doesn’t matter/other/don’t drink wine - I have an adverse reaction to wine (it’s a migraine trigger), so I usually drink beer. I hate light beers, and prefer dark, full-bodied beers or ciders, if that helps.

**3. Which of the following types of meat do you prefer?**  
b) seafood and e) beef are equal in my book.

**4. Which of the following types of coffee roast do you prefer?**  
c) dark roast  
I have an inkling of where you’re going with this - wanna come back and clue us in?

c) milk chocolate

a) white wine

b) seafood

a) light roast  
I am also curious about the theory because it seems like there is quite a range in tastes here.

I wonder if another question would have been helpful, such as “how much coffee do you drink?”?

\*I’m _guessing_, dark chocolate, red wine, beef and dark roast go together, right? As in extreme tastes? You’re a warm-blooded, extreme person when you like all four? \*😉

That’s what I’d guess to.

As for me:

1. Dark chocolate (milk chocolate is an abomination 🙂 )
2. Red wine (although I like my whites & roses just as well)
3. Beef (Pork a close second)
4. Medium roast for brewed/French press coffee; dark for espresso
