Story of chocolate


I read “Story of chocolate” this time. Now, almost of all the people have eaten a chocolate but it wasn’t the sweet one in old age. The first chocolate drinkers were farmers who lived by the rainforest in central America. Monkeys liked the white pulp in the cocoa, and spat out the bitter beans that were in the middle. The farmer tried to eat the beans, but it was too bitter to eat. The beans smell was so good so he tried to drink it by hot water. It was good, but bitter too. Hundreds of years later, Spanish explorer set out with an army to fight with the people. After many battles, the emperor wanted to make peace, and then the people gave chocolate to him. He liked it very much. After that chocolate got used be a famous drink, but it was drink one not eat one. And it was bitter drink too. A lot of person developed new types of chocolates. Add sugar, milk, nuts, and marshmallows and so on. We can eat them easily now. I like chocolate very much. But I didn’t know how it birth, and grown. I could learn from this book. The first chocolate was drink type, it was bitter but it had sweet flavor. Chocolate was mysterious material. (217)
