In honor of the occasion, we're going to talk about chocolate.
The word 'Chocolate' is said to originate in the combination of two Mayan words; 'choco' meaning 'foam' and 'atl' meaning 'water.' Originally chocolate was only consumed in liquid form, and it contained no sugar. Even without the sweet stuff in it, it was considered the food of the gods.
I think the gods must have had unusual taste buds. Chocolate is wonderful in many forms, but if you've ever taken a bite of baker's chocolate made with 100% cocoa, you know it can be brutally bitter!
Anyway, I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with chocolate and sweetness!
