Long-overdue announcement...

Two Whom It May Concern;

Calling it "zest" does not change the simple, inescapable fact that orange rind is not edible.

Thank you.

P.S. Coating it in chocolate is a violation of the 11th Commandment*.

*The Eleventh Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Waste Chocolate" or "Thou Shalt Honor The Chocolate And Keep It Holy," was not given to Moses because the descendants of the Israelites would not encounter actual chocolate for several thousand years. Giving the commandment at that time would simply have caused a lot of confusion, probably having to do with carob, which would just be sad. Instead, the commandment was hard-coded into our genetic structure, left as instincually obvious for those who would later encounter the real thing. (This is why you should never trust anyone who does not like chocolate.)

I've tried that. It makes for a nice sauce (I like Orange Beef/Chicken), but I don't eat the rind itself. Like I said above... a good cook knows to take certain things like bay leaves out of the pot before serving.

Actually, we leave the bay leaves in, at home. And then whoever finds a bay leaf in their bowl has to kiss the cook. *g*
