A perfect place to start if ever there was and a subject matter that captures the imagination and comprises so many evocative elements that never fail to inspire and fascinate. Mixing my interests in ancient civilisations, history, myth, ritual, art and my latest favorite creative medium....Chocolate- I decided it was about time I did a bit more research into the history of this magical ingredient.
The word Chocolate is attributed to both the Mayan word xocolatl which meant bitter water and the Mexican indian combination of the terms choco (foam) and atl (water) because for centuries early chocolate was only consumed as a drink. Cocoa comes from the Aztec cacahuatl.
