Yes, but WHAT? Chocolate truffles are something we can thank yuppies for? Outrageous! Where does this line of thinking come from? Now stupid putrid "designer" chocolates (like Bill Blass and Godiva) that have more sugar than your average breakfast cereal, THAT we can thank yuppies for (or something like that). Chocolate truffles are the food of the gods and don't you forget it! (Remember Quick Draw McGraw has this dog sidekick (not Baba Looey, a dog who made occasional appearances) who always demanded a treat before doing what he was supposed to for "Quickstraw"? After eating them he'd have these convulsions and sort of jump in the air and float to the ground? Well, those treats (I have this on good authority) were chocolate truffles. No other known food produces that feeling of chocuphoria.) -- Life is complex. It has real and imaginary parts. Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
