"  I am told that today is National Chocolate Day. I could not care less. I don&amp;#039;t particularly like chocolate, and I could not be less interested in anything than I am in the angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin arguments that foodies keep having over what constitutes great chocolate and who makes the best. (What I am interested in is the question of who declares National _______ Days. The answer often is: Congress. Check out some recent examples of your tax dollars at work.) Nonetheless, I believe there is an unequivocal Greatest Chocolate Bar in the World. It is not fancy. It is not dark nor is it bittersweet. It is not single-source. It is the Cadbury Flake. It is also not available in the U.S. (in stores anyway, though you can order a case online). Which is really too bad, because if you&amp;#039;ve never bitten one and experienced the sensory perfection of the thing, you&amp;#039;re missing out. The Flake is basically a stick of paper-thin chocolate layers held together only, and barely, by their own mutual attraction to each other. When you bite into one, it goes crunch and then, a microsecond later, it sort of goes squinch, like squeezing sand between your toes at the beach, only the sand is made of cocoa and sugar and it&amp;#039;s on your tongue. Another microsecond after that, it all melts silently into a sweet puddle of pure, slutty, milk-chocolaty goodness. Gourmands gag. Humans tend to love it. The good news is that Flakes are now sold in Canada, so surely there are contraband boxes of them slipping over the border as I type. Keep an eye out. In the meantime, console yourself with the Flake Girls. Hershey&amp;#039;s Kisses never seemed so chaste. RELATED LINKS:  BY THE NUMBERS: What&amp;#039;s Inside a Chocolate Jesus?
