[edit] Chocolate?

Can anybody write on the use of carob as an alternative to chocolate? wjl Mar 27, 05

Does carob taste just like chocolate, or does it just taste similar? I've taste carob before and I noticed that it tasted slightly different from chocolate. Scorpionman 00:37, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Personally I think it tastes more like syrupy banana than chocolate, in its unprocessed form. illspirit|talk 11:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

There is not reason to even state carob tastes ANYTHING like chocolate it does NOT. It is not even the same color. It's got a similar dark color and a similar texture but that is all. The taste is NOT close to chocolate and would never be confused with chocolate in any form. 4.142.126.213 22:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Nick

Fixed that, to what I consider an appropriate degree. BTW, you may want to get yourself an account on wikipedia and edit stuff yourself. Just read up a bit about the wikipedia first!Samfreed 23:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

What is the green fungus at the base of carob trees & Will it kill the tree ?

"Green fungus" is not description of anything, and this is not a gardening Q&A forum. Samfreed 23:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I have just learned that the Carob tree is planted to honor righteous gentiles on the Avenue of Righteous Gentiles in the garden of Yad Vashem. Will Juntunen 5/6/2005

[edit] Confusion of species

Algarrobo redirects here. Unfortunately, the Spanish name "algarrobo" is not just this carob tree, but also refers to several South American species, such as Prosopis alba, which is called "algarrobo blanco"; the name was given by the Spanish precisely because it looked similar to the European carob tree. To maintainers of tree articles, I suggest keeping an eye on this. I'm about to change Algarrobo into a disambig, just like Palo santo (for the same reason). --Pablo D.

[edit] Honi HaM'agel

I just stumbled across a story about Honi HaM'agel and a carob tree, in which the long time (70 years?) required for such a tree to reach maturity and bear fruit is central. Worth mentioning? --Stickler 10:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
