I was riding in a New York City taxi this week when the driver (who did not speak much English) and I found we have something very important in common.
The radio was tuned to some pop station and the deejay asked, “What is the one food most women reach for during times of stress?”
I shouted my answer from the backseat. “CHOCOLATE!”
The driver, who had previously been silent on the drive, burst out in laughter. Guffaws, actually. We shared a moment of perfect understanding.
When I asked him if he had a wife or girlfriend, he said, “Yes, and two daughters and they like chocolate too.”
The common language of chocolate has connected me to many a stranger over the years.
