Appetizing or Ick?

1. Chocolate Truffles are so called because of their resemblance to the highly prized fungus of the same name.
2. Chocolate was first enjoyed in beverages; it was only much later that it came to be used in solid form.
3. Chocolate and cocoa are not only used in desserts, they can also be added to savory dishes such as stews and sauces.
4. When chocolate mousse was invented, it was known as chocolate mayonnaise!
