Sacred food

A bit of seasonal humor:

This morning I went to a local community center where every year several
of the various museum shops in the Washington DC area come for the three
days following Thanksgiving. The selection of items isn't as large as
I would like (and is smaller than it was a few years ago) but I do much
of my Christmas gift-buying there, without having to slog through the
crowds and traffic of the city.

Anyway...the National Cathedral's gift shop was as usual one of the
vendors...and one of the items they were offering for sale was:

HOLY CHOCOLATE

Yup...that's the brand name, although my first reaction to it was
wondering where Batman was nearby <grin>. My second reaction was
to observe that many people (abml regulars among them) consider
chococococolate to be a sacred food, so by definition if it's
chococococolate then it must be holy.

Yes, I bought a couple of packets (overpriced, of course) as a gift
for one of my nephews.

You mean some people think it isn't?!?!? [doing a double take]

I thought it was just one of those things programmed into us
(you know, that racial memory thingie)......
