Most of us know chocolate as a deliciously decadent sweet that we eat in cookies, cakes, candy bars, and other desserts. And, chocolate isn’t simply a snack or key ingredient in cooking. Over the centuries, many cultures have used the seeds from which chocolate is made—cacao. Plus, medicinal remedies featuring chocolate have been used as household curatives across the globe.
For centuries, legends from many cultures have claimed that consuming chocolate instilled strength, health, faith, and passion in those who drank it. These legends attributed magical properties to chocolate and endowed it with powerful symbolic value. Chocolate is still revered as an icon of love and devotion today, and eating chocolate remains a part of many enduring holiday traditions.
Chocolate has long been regarded as a pleasant diversion, if not quite a magic bullet, for feeling low. And, for most people, this is still the case. It is considered the best antidote to depression. Chocolate still maintains its known "feel-good" effect on people who are simply having a bad day, for those who are severely stressed or clinically depressed, the effect may be to make the depression and stress worse.
Ok all of that was just to show off that i know quite a bit chocolates. The whole point of this what many call futile exercise is to put on record my experience of tasting a flavour of the latest Cadbury range. Bournville. Well it is named after a famous village associated with the Cadbury family in England; but what is more fascinating is the intense chocolate. For a chocoholic like me the promotional ad was enough to wait for its launch.
I took to the ad too literally " you don buy a bournville, you earn it". well i earned it, fair and square, but the one who owed it to me refused to give to me. Well he ultimately did:P (though he dint even take the pains of buying it himself :P )
A total choco-addict that i am, I'm glad he kept his word. it was one of the nicest I've ever had. From the texture to the taste.. it was perfect. It melts in your mouth and makes you go ’mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm’..and to the stupid who gave that chocolate to me i just want quote Henry Longfellow
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
ok i even want to say this..It was not a act of heroism, but for me it was a reflection of how you feel.Thank you for caring, thank you for being there unconditionally, for being there and supporting me in all circumstances. Thanks for being a great and delightful friend. :)
P.S. i'm not able to upload the pic :( and btw you still owe me a few chocolates :P
