I actually don't mind a teeny hint of chili or curry in chocolate, as long as it's subtle. Of course, each individual's idea of "subtlety" varies.
I bought some half-priced chocolate at Purdys in mid-February (Purdys being a Canadian company with a "sustainable cocoa" ethos). It was 2 boxes for the price of 1, all because it was 2 days after Valentine's Day and nobody wanted to buy a box with hearts on it on February 16. When I went to the cash desk to pay, the clerk persuaded me to buy one each of their new "exotic" truffles. Not a box each, just a single chocolate each, to try them. The tiramisu truffle was delicious, but the raspberry balsamic truffle had this horribly overpowering vinegary aftertaste. Who messes up good dark chocolate with VINEGAR? I ended up spitting it out, which is not something I often do with chocolate.
