writing with sense appeal

Don’t let me suffer alone. I’m doing Mary Reid’s exercises. Why not join me and add your ideas. Here’s the first one and my response. Of course, you can just rip mine to shreds if you feel like it.
Describe the taste of chocolate
Ed — ยท Dark chocolate tastes hard, tough almost bitter. Eating regular chocolate is over the top, like licking an over-sweet lollipop.

That’s a tough one.
The first bite: the tongue feels the slightly waxy-smoothness, then the slow melt releases the bitter-sugary drifts of memory: biting the ears off chocolate easter bunnies, wiping chocolate pudding from my baby’s chin, black forest cake with birthday candles. Soothing, like a stroking hand or hug.

forbidden chocolate, high on a shelf so a determined effort has to be made to get it. white chocolate, which isn’t chocolate at all, with almonds, dizzyingly sweet, sending a rush through brain and blood. Dark chocolate, bitter, biting, not like that mushy milk stuff. (how’s that for 30 seconds?)

Taste of chocolate – A sensation of joy rippling through my tastebuds and filling my mouth is sweetness and delight.
