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.)

LMAO! Excellent explanation!

I will have to disagree in regards to the rind though. It is clear that you do not cook. Some of THE most INCREDIBLE desserts are made using citrus rind... more often lemon or lime though.
I wish there was a way to send food online, then you could taste one of those and have no choice but to agree with me :-p

LOL. that's great :D

iknow one person who doesnt like chocolate and one who is allergic. the one who's allergic is fun but psychotic, hence not entirely trustworthy. the other is genuinely not to be trusted. so far i see no reason to disagree with you ;)

I wouldn't want to eat it raw, even coated in chocolate, but you can stir fry citrus rind in chinese food dishes and it's very tasty. :)
