To me there's nothing unfortunate about it - it would be
mind-boggling and perhaps horrible to have to think about
all the what might have beens!

One of the sad things one realizes is that big stimuli
crowd out little stimuli, and for the vast majority of
audiences, loudness is a major selling point.

Good white "chocolate" can be pretty good, though
it's nothing like the real thing. Plain sweetened
cocoa fat with vanilla flavoring, it's not a
particularly beautiful experience, but it can be
mildly pleasing in its own way.

  chocolate with bread cubes.

  Combine milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla bean to a boil over
  medium heat until sugar is disolved. Whisk eggs until smooth.

  not wisk or custard will have a great deal of foam on the
  surface. Skim foam from custard. Strain custard over bread
  and chocolate. Let stand for 10 min to allow custard to
  soak into bread.

  Place baking dish in another larger pan. Pour hot water into
  larger dish to reach 1 inch up side of dish. Bake the bread
  pudding for about 45 min to 1 hr, until custard is set
