The Aztecs drunk it
Chocolate was originally a cold drink whisked from cocoa beans by the Aztecs - and women were not allowed to drink it.

It was more valuable than gold
When Cortes conquered the Aztecs in 1520, he found that cocoa beans were prized higher than gold.

It was named in the 17th century
The word 'chocolate' was first recorded in English use in 1604.

It helped found the British Museum
The British Museum owes its very existence to chocolate. It was based on the personal collection of Hans Soane, who invented milk chocolate.


Chocolate bar an English invention

The bar of chocolate was invented by JS Fry and Sons of Bristol in 1847.

Expensive egg
Last year's most expensive chocolate egg was encrusted with more than 100 diamonds and made for La Maison du Chocolat with a £50,000 prize tag.


Royal approval
On New Year's Day 1900, Queen Victoria sent 100,000 boxes of chocolates as a personal gift to soldiers fighting in the Boer War.

Brits can't get enough of it
The average person living in the UK - man, woman or child - spends over £1 a week on chocolate.

I'm quite sure Brits do spend a lot over 1 pound on average! There's where I got my addiction to choc !

Actually, one of the typical dishes of Mexico consists of chicken with chocolate sauce!! It sounds weird but I would love to try it!
