Actually I tried it on Michael's recommendation. I am not big on 
flavoured (in a can, anyway) Coke, etc. And the Black Cherry Fresca is 
nasty - tasting nothing like black cherries nor Fresca. But, I agree 
with Michael - the Peach Fresca is the peachiest of the artificially 
flavoured sodas I have tried. I do about 3 Peach to 1 regular Fresca.
On another front I never got around to tasting the Vanilla Coke Zero 
that the Sacerdotes brought to the picnic. Wish now that I had - because 
I bought a 12 pack to try and was done with it after the second can. I 
finally managed to foist it off on visitors ... but, it took a while.
It is marginally better than Vanilla Diet Pepsi. Which is damning with 
faint praise.
I've come to the conclusion that if I want carbonated vanilla soda I 
will stick with A&W Diet Cream Soda.  Bv)=

      Title: Black Bean Cakes w/ Sauteed Rock Shrimp & Mole Sauce (Pt 2) 
 Categories: Emeril, Shellfish, Sauces
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
           Text continued
 
  When all the chiles have been blended, dip a spoon into the
  bottom of the blender jar and take out a sample of the sauce
  to see if the rather tough chile skins have been blended
  sufficiently. If not, add a little more water, stir well,
  and then blend for a few seconds more.
  
  Heat the remaining lard in a heavy pan or saute pan, add
  the blended sauce and chocolate, and cook over medium heat,
  stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent
  sticking, for about 15 minutes. The sauce should be fairly
  thick and lightly cover the back of a wooden spoon.
  
  BLACK BEAN CAKES:
  
  In a saucepan, over medium heat, add a tablespoon of the
  oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt
  and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of
  the garlic, jalapenos, and black beans. Continue to saute
  for 1 minute. Add the water and bay leaf. Bring the liquid
  to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until
  the beans are tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  
  Remove from the heat and cool completely and strain. In a
  food processor, fitted with a metal blade, puree 3/4 of
  the mixture until smooth. Add water if it becomes thick.
  Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the processor and
  turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the remaining beans into the
  pureed beans. Season the flour, egg wash and bread crumbs
  with Essence.
  
  Divide the mixture into eighths and form into individual
  rounds, about 1-inch thick. Dredge each cake in the seasoned
  flour. Dip each cake into the egg wash, letting the excess
  drip off. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned bread crumbs,
  coating completely. In a large saute pan, over medium heat,
  add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking,
  pan fry until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  
  FOR THE SHRIMP:
  
  In another saute pan, over medium heat, add the remaining 2
  tablespoons of olive oil. Add the red onions and corn. Season
  with salt and pepper. Saute for 4 minutes. Season the shrimp
  with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the vegetables.
  Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and
  remaining teaspoon of garlic. Continue to saute for 2 min.
  Stir in 1/4 cup of the Mole Sauce. Remove from the heat and
  add the cilantro.
  
  Remove the cakes from the pan and drain on paper towels. To
  serve, spoon the sauce in the center of each plate. Place 2
  cakes in the center of each plate. Spoon the shrimp mixture
  over the cakes. Garnish with parsley.
