Damn, I think this may be the first truly angry upvote I’ve ever given. How someone can be so wrong, but post about it in the one place where the sheer insanity of saying it requires me to applaud their saying it, it don’t understand.
Legit though, I get it. Dark chocolate is an odd pleasure. Sour isn’t the right word, it’s bitterness, though. And it’s an earthy bitterness rather than something that is only bitter. But I can see how the dominance of the bitterness is going to overwhelm the palate until and unless you’ve taken the time to break away from sweet pleasures as the only pleasures. And that takes both time and effort, we aren’t geared to detect bitterness as good by default.
I love me some white chocolate though! The cheap stuff is cloying and waxy, but when it’s done well, you get this creamy texture along with the buttery flavor carried on sweetness.
