What they think about chocolate

The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826; third President of the USA)
So noble a confession more than nectar & ambrosia, the true food of the gods

Dr Etienne Bachot(1610-1687; French physician)
Nowhere else has nature compressed such a store of the most valuable nutrient into such a small space as it has with the cocoa bean

Alexander Von Humboldt (1769-1859; German naturalist & traveler)
Look, there’s no metaphysics on earth like chocolates

Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935; Portuguese poet)
