That's true, we get the same reaction when we(spouse and I) decline chocolate.
It is because he is allergic to chocolate, and I can't be near him if I eat it-I
had a piece once about 2 hrs earlier and then kissed him-watched hives break out
within about a 15 min time span.  But people can't believe it, and even people
who know he's allergic still push it on us-"oh just try some" like the allergy is
going to go away.   extra love to my family who now serve things like lemon cakes
and pies for birthdays, holidays, etc, cause they love peter so much!
What would be the closest thing to chocolate in period-cocoa, like in drinks?
carob?
