For those who don't know the place, some fantastic Belgian chocolate is
available at a small shop in the Vaults, between the main station and
underground area of London Bridge Station. Can't remember the brand names
off hand, but everything there is uniformly excellent.

All borderline. Real chocolate comes from Mexico and a few points south
of it.

The best chocolate in the world comes from South America. That is what
European candy makers use.

That's the raw material, not the candy. Molé sauce is a great invention.

Chocolate comes from the cocoa tree. The seeds in the pod are sun dried,
roasted, and their peel is removed. Then a large type of rolling wheel
extracts the cocoa butter, and what is left is cocoa powder. When
remixed, the product is now called chocolate.

So chocolate is not the raw product. Cocoa seeds are.

Africa is the major producer today. Brazil, probably second. If I'm not
mistaken, Ivory Coast is a big producer of cacao.

I'm not sure whether I should thank you.

Many of my colleagues go to Leonidas on Victoria Street to procure the
obligatory birthday chocolates.
