3. Delicious, delectable, soothing and, yes, American.
Chocolate was a New World discovery, one of the most
sought-after treasures brought back to Europe from the brave
new land across the Atlantic.
Cacao, from which chocolate is created, is said to have
originated in the Amazon at least 4,000 years ago. The Aztecs
were so interested in the bean that they attributed its creation
to their god Quetzalcoatl who, as the legend goes descended
from heaven on a beam of a morning star carrying a cacao tree
stolen from paradise. In fact, the Aztecs valued the cacao bean
so much that they used it as currency.
The Aztecs also used the cacao beans to prepare a thick,
cold, unsweetened drink called chocolatl โ a liquid so
prestigious that it was served in golden goblets that were
thrown away after one use. Christopher Columbus, in 1502,
was the first European to run across the beans on his fourth
voyage to the New World.
