article

(see below for etymology) describes a number of raw and processed foods that originate from the tropical cacao tree. It is a common ingredient in many kinds of sweets, chocolate candy, ice creams, cookies, cakes, pies, and desserts. It is one of the most popular flavours in the world.

Chocolate is made from the fermented, roasted, and ground beans taken from the pod of the tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao, which was native to Central America and Mexico, discovered by ancient Mayas and Aztecs, but is now cultivated throughout the tropics. The beans have an intensely flavoured bitter taste. The resulting products are known as "chocolate" or, in some parts of the world, cocoa.

Theobroma is Greek for "food of the gods".http://www.wordinfo.info/words/index/info/view_unit/2421/?letter=B&spage=4

Chocolate Games
Paul Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:34:00 -0000
There are a number of games you can play with chocolate and these games can be enjoyed at parties or as a couple. There are a number of games you might want to consider although my own personal favourite is the chocolate version of Monopoly, Chocolate-opoly.Chocolate-opoly is a Monopoly board with various chocolate treats for you when you play. Russian Roulette with chocolate can be another great game and this is of course much safer than the real thing, with the expected to easy spicy chocolate if they pick out the wrong one.Couples at home may prefer to try various games which involve chocolate sauce or melted chocolate and for these games your imagination can be used to full effect. This food item makes for fun games because eating chocolate as a forfeit or playing with chocolate which is great in texture and aroma are good ways to spend time. Why not try playing some chocolate games when you have the chance? Also interested in Belgium chocolates?
