The local talk radio dude had this as a topic this morning.
No cite, but apparently some group was down on chocolate religious figures being consumed. The radio guy mentioned chocolate Jesus, crosses and something called a “Last Supper Bar” which is a chocolate bar embossed with a rendering of the last supper.
I am not a religious person but it got me to thinking. I would feel strange chowing down on a chocolate Jesus I think. I don’t know. Opinions?
Sure, why not? I’m not a big fan of chocolate but when I want a piece, I don’t care how it’s shaped.
I can’t really think of anything chocolate that I would not eat.
What makes it any different than devouring chocolate bunnies, or marshmellow peeps (besides the religous aspect). I don’t really agree with the Last Supper being used to promote a product, but it is just chocolate, after all. It’s not like it’s the body of Christ, or anything. What’s next? The “Buddah Bar”?
Only if it had a cherry liqueur filling.
In a blasphemous New York minute!
Certainly. And I’d chase it with a chocolate Mary.
Chocolate is a religious experience no matter WHAT it’s shaped like.
How about a chocolate ass-covered-with-huge-boils?
The boils would be made of caramel.
Hell YES!
LTIC!!!*
ESPECIALLY the last line!
laughing till I’m crying
Well I don’t want no Anna Zabba
Don’t want no Almond Joy
There ain’t nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it’s the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
When the weather gets rough
And it’s whiskey in the shade
It’s best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that’s ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Tom Waits - “Chocolate Jesus”
Christian sects, such as Roman Catholicism, which believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, effectively hold that the eucharistic wafer consumed during communion literally becomes the flesh of Jesus. For those theophagous adherents of these religions, it’s difficult to see how they could possibly be squeamish about munching on a chocolate Jesus.
On Sunday I’m going to a restaurant called Chocolate Buddha. It had better live up to its name or else I will not be a happy chappy.
Chocolate anything for sure… and boils of caramel? Extra yummy…
But would you bite off the chocoalte Jesus’s head first??? lol…
Would you eat a crucified chocolate Jesus though?
Singing:
I don’t care if it rains or freezes
As long as I’ve got my chocolate Jesus
Sittin’ on the top shelf of my fridge…
BTDT.
Oh, we’re still talking about chocolate here? :smack:
To the OP: Nope. Tacky, tacky, tacky.
If its chocolate, I’d eat it…
Weightwatchers tomorrow, I swear!!
Is there a limit to the shape of chocolate one would eat?
If the chocolate was in the shape of, say, a pile of vomit, or a dismembered child?
Yuck
There’s a Buddha bar in Dublin. It’s a bar that’s part of the Blanchardtown shopping center. It’s got a huge Buddha in the center of the bar and does really nice food during the day. Good pint as well. I pulled one night while in there. Quite fond of the place actually
