The History of Chocolate

The story of chocolate begins with the discovery of America.

Until1492, the Old World knew nothing at all about the delicious

and stimulatingflavor that was to become the favorite of millions.

The court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella got its first

look atthe principal ingredient of chocolate when Columbus

returned in triumph fromAmerica and laid before the Spanish

throne a treasure trove of many strange andwonderful things.

Among these were a few dark brown beans that looked

likealmonds and seemed most unpromising. They were cocoa

beans — today’s source ofall our chocolate and cocoa.

The King and Queen never dreamed how important cocoa

beans could be,and it remained for Hernando Cortez — the great

Spanishexplorer, to grasp the commercial possibilities of the new

world offerings.

1492年,哥伦布从美洲凯旋归来,在西班牙君主面前展示他带回的

令人惊奇的财宝,费迪南德国王和伊莎贝拉女皇自此第一次见到了巧克

力的主要原料——黑棕色的可可豆——我们所有巧克力和可可的原料。

尽管可可豆的重要性并未得到费迪南德国王和伊莎贝拉女皇的重视,但

它仍被埃尔南多•科尔特斯这位伟大的西班牙探险家保留了下来,世界

商品贸易的格局也因此而改变。

over big vats ofbrown liquid loveliness and watch naked bars

whizz through wrapping the tour, taste the goods

and go wild in the world’s Biggest Cadbury Shop.
