Found this while googling and I‘m in love with the vintage cover!
Microhistories are a fun way to learn more about very, very specific subjects. 🔬
1. I love all of the Mary Roach books I‘ve read. And the one I read about bananas was fascinating!
2. Oral storytelling.
3. Yummmmmm. 🍫
#SundayFunday Have a good day, and don‘t forget to tag me!
This book takes you through the world of chocolate from its American origins to its current growth in many tropical places and its many manufacturers, focusing on the US and Europe. I enjoyed what I learned here, though it lacked narrative flow (it‘s more like a series of essays) and there‘s far too much focus on ultra high-end chocolatiers ($50+ per pound).
'I'll tell you what I want what I really, really want...' and that is chocolate. This is not book related, just a Litsy service announcement. I feel the urge to splurge on this chocolate... but I shall bide my time until Christmas, when the Costco gods look down on me in favor. 🍫🍫🤤 #Wannabe #90sInJuly

#TBRtemptation post 4! Might as well get this sweet piece of heaven into today's posts, lol. This is an in-depth look at chocolate from a major foodie. He visits cacao plantations; meets with growers, buyers, makers, tasters; shows the history of major business empires like Hershey's & Godiva's; and looks at the dark side of this food's vast international industry. You'll really know your chocolate henceforth 😉👍🏻😋. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
