Redex: Yep the best choc for sure.

Dark chocolate is said to be good for heart, brain and depression I have been told so I tend to eat it every day just a little to be good


I only have choc over 70% in the house now

It is good for you, plus you would never need to eat as much of it

When you protect markets from global capitalism, pay your workers more and perform higher skilled work which is strictly speaking not necessary. Quality is bad for the GDP and limits your options as a consumer.

Chocolate should only be made by agrarian socialists, and contain heaps of candle wax to keep the quality down. GDP would go gangbusters.

MimiArt7348: An ex-classmate back in high-school had cocoa trees in his dad's garden. He'd cut open the cocoa fruit and we'd then eat the seeds (?). It was sour tasting, not much to eat anyway. Just thin layer of sour pulp. We'd soon move on to chewing sugar cane!


Eating the cocoa seeds right from the big-pod is brave although I would imagine not pleasant, I never did it.

I am not familiar with the process of fermentation and the likes to prepare the cocoa beans it would be interesting to see it real and then get the cocoa beans just fresh.

For the sugar cane matter, my Father us to take us to a "molienda" where the sugar cane is processed and then they make molasses and make molds of solid molasses. We would bring some just made bread (bolillos) and then pour some hot molasses on them, that would be our treat, lovely memories.
