Chocolate isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.
There’s a coffee roaster near me, Republica Coffee Roasters, that has an Aztec hot chocolate/mocha on the menu. And is a spicy version of those. It’s not my favourite coffee place, but I really like the spicyness if those drinks… Damn think I might go get one now that I’m thinking about it and it’s raining today
I dunno. I like my chili flavoured candy.
Beside, wasn’t chocolate traditionally eaten with chili by the natives? Or was it a spicy coco drink…?
