I was served a delicious latte with a tablet of bittersweet chocolate sitting on the spoon alongside. I usually drink my coffee without sugar, although occasionally I crave a great mocha. The chocolate waiting to be tasted piqued my thoughts. I was not planning to use it. But it was served with the drink for a reason. It rested on the spoon, directing me to stir it into the latte. I followed the cues. I was not a very good stirrer. As I finished my drink I saw the half dissolved tablet of chocolate on the bottom. I used my spoon to eat the coffee-coated molten chocolate. Perhaps that one intense bite was the actual goal. I'm not sure.
I am sure that the idea of adding tablets of flavors to drinks and dishes is exciting. It is a starting point to be explored. I'll drink to that.
