So, Do You Like Chocolate Now (mtf) or Not Anymore (ftm)

[erocse]

   I know this is a kinda funny post. Everyone knows that girls like, I should say love chocolate. All the girls I know can sit around and talk about how much they love chocolate and what type and brand is the best. I ,on the other hand ,have always went for the peanut brittle, sweet tarts gummy worms, heck I would have rather ate just plain old nut then chocolate.

   Now everything has changed since going on hrt. I love chocolate, in fact I think I now like it more then my wife.(chocolate that is) She thinks this is very funny. Every time I reach for the chocolate she likes to tease  me about how I used to be.

  I was wondering if any of you have experienced the same changes ?

And if your are ftm, have you lost the taste for chocolate?

   Hugs, Roxy

I have ALWAYS been a chocolate freak! That was probably clue 2,545,567 to my true nature. 

[jennajane]

^ x2, also a chocolate freak my whole life!  The stuff really isn't safe in my house.

[tekla]

I don't think it's a gender deal, its a drug, one a lot of people like.  I often note that the only things at my theaters that are kept under lock and key are liquor and candy.

[rejennyrated]

I always have. And indeed at that time of the month it becomes a positive craving! The darker and bitterer the better.

So unlimited chocolate or red hot sex with the man or woman of your choice? There is really no contest...

Chocolate of course - what on earth else did you think I was going to choose!

I agree.  Just about everyone I know likes chocolate, regardless of their gender.

It's OK.  But I'm really more of a peanut butter person.

I'm an irredeamable chocolate addict. I generally eat it every day.

Not a fan of Belgion chocolate though. British and Swiss.

[cynthialee]

Prior to HRT I could take it or leave it. (chocolate)

Now....OMG!!!! I never knew what the power of chocolate was. Now I love it love it love it. It is truely the food of the gods.

[Gilmorton]

I quite like it, and can eat a lot of it, but I don't crave it and I'm not mad on it. It will be interesting to see whether I go off it when I'm on T.

Now, that depends on the chocolate..

White chocolate just tastes like butter with a sprinkle of vanilla sugar to me. Utterly disgusting.

Milk chocolate is a little fatty for my tastes. And some milk chocolate feels a little chalky in the mouth, like the Swedish made chocolate.. :/

Now... give me a dark chocolate that melts in my mouth, and I'll melt along with it.
Give me a cup of coffee with it, and I'll be yours for the day!

Miniar: Hmmm... tempting offer. But I'm still eating that chocolate myself.


I like chocolate. Don't love it, but like it. I especially like dark chocolate with milk - take a bite, take a sip, chew the chocolate with the milk still in your mouth, and you get something much, much tastier than normal milk chocolate. I don't know whether or not other people have cottoned on to this magnificent discovery of mine yet, but I'm sure they will.

I used to looove white chocolate, but then lost my taste for it gradually. And American chocolate is of the Devil (my dad said it tasted like puke. I agreed. I still ate it, though).

Norwegian milk chocolate with roasted, caramelized and salted almond pieces in it is great, as is that Icelandic milk chocolate with salty liquorice inside.

English chocolate is my favorite, though Italian and German are runners-up.  If I could get my hands on a nice Cadbury bar or some kinder eier, I'd be the happiest person alive.

I'm not transitioning currently, though.  But whole family loves chocolate, regardless of their sex and gender.  I seem to be the only one who won't eat American chocolate, though, unless it's super dark chocolate.  Milk chocolate is too sweet for me. XP

Chocolate runs from my house.  Always has.  I would main line the stuff if I could.

Dark chocolate is my favorite.

Milk chocolate is good in a pinch.

White chocolate and Macadamia nuts, you can do whatever you want to me. 

And yes I am one of those crazy people who likes beer and chocolate.  Guinness and dark is best.

I even have had baker's chocolate.  Grab a bar and yumm.

Do you get Galaxy in the states?

A a hand full of peanuts and some Galaxy, eaten together.

Best combination since peanut butter and raspbury jam.

[Janet_Girl]

Yes Actually we do have Galaxy here in the States.  But here it is called Dove.  And it is heaven.

[Melody Maia]

On a recent road trip I bought my son a Dove chocolate bar. After a lifetime of crappy Hershey bars, his eyes flew open and he exclaimed "Why didn't anybody tell me about this! This is the food of the gods!"  Anyway, there is some decent American chocolate out there. It isn't all Hershey bars, kisses and M&Ms.

Oh, that reminds me. My ex once applied to a job at M&M Mars. Along with the company materials, they provided a box with one of each if their products. That left quite an impression!

[Miniar]

These are 56% dark chocolate "shells".
I have some of these in the chocolate drawer.
Along with some broken up;

(55% cooking chocolate... it's like it's juicy when I eat it.. )

[Lee]

I've kinda lost my taste for sweetened chocolate, but I do love bakers chocolate.

I like the dark chocolate M&M's, actually.  Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.

And then there is my weakness:  Ferrero Rondnoir.  I'm not sure what "rondnoir" means, but I imagine that it translates into "makes you weak in the knees"
