First stop: Brussels, Belgium.
A visit to the Museum of Cacao and Chocolate in Brussels,....stumbled on this wonderful little place down a side street off the Grand Place....fascinating history of chocolate. From the preparation of the drink used in Aztec human sacrfice ritual ( "How bout a nice cup of hot cocoa... before we flay you alive?" ) to it's introduction in Europe in the 1500's...A demonstration on making creme-filled Easter eggs by a real Belgian chocolatier. I was greeted at the door by a lovely girl holding a biscuit coated in melted dark chocolate.
