chocolate

~ Chocolate ~

The beans for making chocolate were no doubt originally brought from Earth. The cacao now grows in the tropics of Gor and the beans can be purchased. Chocolate is often mixed with sugar and creams to produce a hot, thick, sweet beverage; served in either a mug or goblet. Chocolate is very expensive and rarely served; more likely to be found in higher class establishments.

"This is warmed chocolate," I said, pleased. It was very rich and creamy.
"Yes Mistress," said the girl.
"It is very good," I said.
"Thank you, Mistress," she said.
"Is it from Earth?" I asked.
"Not directly," she said. "Many things here, of course, ultimately have an Earth origin. It is not improbable that the beans from which the first cacao beans on this world were grown were brought from Earth."
"Do the trees grow near here?" I asked.
"No, Mistress," she said, "we obtain the beans from which the chocolate is made, from Cosian merchants, who in turn, obtain them in the tropics."

Cho is similar to the Earth beverage, hot chocolate. It is usually peformed in an intricate serving pattern much like Bazi Tea ... the cyberism of the Bazi Tea ceremony. When serving Cho, one will first fill a mug or ceramic bowl with hot paga and add shavings of chocolate and topped with whipped cream (cyn prefers to use Verr cream because of its sweet flavor with a bit of added sugar for flavor). Before serving, sprinkle cinnamon on the top for added flavor and color and voila'!
Enjoy!!
