Well, I have oft used chocolate in my savoury dishes, and garlic goes
extremely well with it.  So does fresh ginger as a matter of fact :-)

When I was in culinary school, we learned that it takes actually more
energy to digest chocolate, than it gives you (talking about chocolate
itself, not all the sugar and other stuff added).  So a friend and I
figured that one could develop a diet where you'd eat chocolate to loose
weight! :-)  After a few calculations, we discovered that we'd not get rich
that way, as to loose a pound at the end of the week, one needs to eat
nearly 40 pounds of chocolate daily! :-)

As for "can never have too much chocolate".  Well...  Try working in a
chocolate "factory/lab/kitchen" for long periods...  Eventually, ya kinda
get turned off the major desires to have it.  Of course, it creeps back to
you when you're done working there :-)
