Black coffee made from instant coffee is understandably horrifying and tastes like ammonia smells, but have you considered fresh coffee? I don't mean filter coffee, either, the filter paper absorbs all of the tasty coffee oils, leaving only an ashy aftertaste, I'm talking espresso, moka pot, greek / turkish coffee and french press.

Similarly, if you normally find that you hate dark chocolate, perhaps it is because your chocolate is made with slave labour and also not very good.

I am currently enjoying a fine ten year old aged Java. It is very tasty, and I highly recommend.

    Dude you know I starting baking bread and all the resources online are written for and by Americans so I was so confused when I couldn't find unbleached flour in the UK. It turns out that the reason why is that all flour in the UK in unbleached, because it is illegal to bleach it here. Apparently that is also why we cannot easily get products like Twinkies and Hot Cheetos, because they are made with bleached materials, they aren't fit for the UK market.

    All the instructions for making sourdough also say to use filtered water, like from a bottle. Turns out the reason for this is that American tap water is so heavily bleached that it will kill the yeast. Our water is chlorinated too but like, to an acceptable level.
