Mostly harmless.
I got this bar of milk chocolate with dried tomato at New Year's.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky bought it for jonsinger because he likes new and different food. Unfortunately, Jon can't eat anything with dairy in it, so I offered him a trade (she'd gotten me a bar of dark chocolate with orange peel, which I knew would be good, but I can get chocolate with orange peel any number of places).
I had expected this to be weird and possibly wonderful, or possibly a complete failure, but weird enough that I'd been opening and eating other chocolate first. A couple of weeks ago, I decided that this would be the next chocolate bar I opened.
The bits of tomato are too small to be really noticeable, at least to me andcattitude. No real effect on flavor or texture. A supertaster, or someone with a strong aversion to tomatoes, might notice the difference. So, what we have is decent milk chocolate. As such, we probably will finish it, but we both prefer dark chocolate to milk.
The maker is "Bovetti Artisan Chocolatier," in France; it was imported by Fleur d'Olive, Richelieu, QC J3L 6S3. I see that it was marked as best before 01/31/2010, but while that might affect the quality a bit, I don't think it's why the tomato was so faint.
