When I racked my brain today for something to write about in my blog, I felt like eating a chocolate cake instead with lots of icing and very little of cake...Then, I thought, why not write about chocolate ??
Chocolate has always been a favorite comfort food with almost half the world's population...
God bless the African tribe who first discovered the rejuvenating effects of coco beans on sheep and goats which grazed on them...
I remember, when I was a child, I managed to take in 'Complan' only becoz it was in a chocolate flavor, I'm delighted it is the same with millions of other children across the world who are all enlightened souls about the benefits of chocolate.Chocolate is available in a variety of flavors and combinations today, and is inspiring cooking connoisseurs to come up with a more enjoyable variety of edible chocolate. So, from cakes, toffees, eclairs, to pastries and swiss fondues, we are, and will continue to be blessed with an entire range of delicacies in chocolate.......
Chocolate has come to signify everything that is worthy of enjoyment in life. While medical journals publish commendable reports about the anti-depressive ability, dentists for long have been frowning down on the erosion of tooth enamel, but now, dark chocolate has been found to be beneficial for certain heart ailments, and we also have chocolate skin wraps in beauty spas, CCD have done much to boost the popularity of chocolate by blending coffee with chocolate in their menu......
Chocolate is slowly replacing traditional Indian sweets as appropriate gifts during festivals and other occasions so successfully, that shops selling Indian sweets have come up with variations of traditional Indian sweets with a chocolaty flavor, to sustain their sales. It has become a mandatory token of celebration during birthdays, anniversaries, milestones in our lives, weddings, and acquisitions. Can you imagine Valentine's Day with only roses and no chocolate ?? !!! I can't imagine it to be so...
With so much of research and innovation being attempted in the uses of chocolate, can anyone deny the omnipresence of chocolate in our lives ??

Oh, I love chocolate! But have to comment: it's actually from Mexico, not from Africa. The cocoa tree is originally from South and Central America, and the Maya invented chocolate (even the name comes from Mayan languages). It was quite different than chocolate nowadays - it was a rather bitter drink.
Oh, and now you made me it chocolate!
