Chocolate is enjoyed pretty much all over the world, but how did this global obsession come about? This looks at its history, from the times when it was associated with sexuality, sin, blood and sacrifice, to the Aztecs and Mayans who traded it instead of gold, the 18th century which saw it as a aphrodisiac and the current battles between Lindt and Cadbury for supermarket dominance Redolent of everything sensual and hedonistic, chocolate is synonymous with our idea of indulgence. It is adored around the world and has been since the Spanish first encountered cocoa beans in South America in the sixteenth century. This title explores the origins and growth of this almost universal obsession.
