I don't think many Americans have ever tasted good dark chocolate. In most
stores you cannot find it.

Since I started trying the many types of non-milk chocolate, my kids
(ranging from 15 down to 5) have come to prefer it. They may still eat milk
chocolate now and then, but they note the great difference in taste and
quality. They've also been surprised that dark chocolate can taste so
sweet, yet richer in chocolate flavor than what they're used to.

I also ate (well, gnawed on) Baker's unsweetened chocolate as a kid. My
5-year-old girl loves chocolate-covered coffee beans, while most people I
know will spit them out if they accidentally eat one!
