Count me in on the "not crazy about chocolate" crew.  I don't think
I've been called "inhuman", but I've been accused of being 
unfeminine because of it.  I'm just not bribable with chocolate.  I 
don't hate it as much as you do, but it is a migraine trigger for me 
for about half the month, and I just don't crave it.

I don't understand not being able to go one weekend without it,
or "needing" to have chocolate brownies on the potluck table.

And I have been asked to judge dessert contests (either as a visiting
peer or when I was on the throne of An Tir) and I have by-passed
the rich chocolate desserts in favor of something at least less
obviously OOP.
