Chocolates....
I currently have no idea what to talk about so I did some digging on the Internet and found a fascinating story. The story is about the history of chocolate. Here you go:
Chocolate, derived from the seed of the cocoa tree, and was used by the Maya Culture, as early as the Sixth Century AD. Maya called the cocoa tree, the cacahuaquchtl tree and the word chocolate comes from the Maya word xocoatl which means bitter water. To the Mayas, cocoa pods symbolized life and fertility... nothing could be more important. Stones from their palaces and temples revealed many carved pictures of cocoa pods. Aztecs believed that wisdom and power came from eating the fruit of the cocoa tree, and also that it had nourishing, fortifying, and even aphrodisiac qualities. The Aztec emperor, Montezuma drank thick chocolate dyed red. The drink was so prestigious that it was served in golden goblets that were thrown away after only one use. He liked it so much that he drank 50 goblets every day.
He was a chocoholic. Great writing.
