"whack you up side the head with a big chunk of ice?"

I am not sure what is the relationship of ice to vikings?

MC - We have the cheese, the chocolate, the watches, the banks... We now even have Roman Polansky in our jail since the US have asked us to extradite the jerk.

PCL - Toblerone is great!

Even though this is a little off topic, chocolate there and elsewhere in Europe although great tasting is not good for you...It is the Coco beans found in Latin America and elsewhere that has the best medical properties for our bodies. Just a bit of gee wizzzzzzzzz

Back when I was younger, I tried to prove that one could live from just beer and chocolate. But now that I'm older, I need the Pasia too

Living well is the best revenge

We can start another post with this post jeje....I believe these may be possible to locate in Colombia anyone? Panama I know for a fact as a friend heads out with local indians in the islands Bocas and comes back with his boat filled with 50 # sacks full.

From Agora Health;
Milk chocolate, in particular, is full of sugar, and quite often high in fructose corn syrup. What little chocolate it contains is usually "Dutch" processed -- meaning alkali has been added to cut acidity and darken the color. Even most so-called "dark" chocolate is just as often Dutch processed, and has loads of added sugar! The result: a sugary, greasy, goopy, calorie-laden mess that will make you fat and stick to your arteries like wallpaper paste! By the time one bite into most chocolate bars, nearly all of the super-healthy benefits Mother Nature gave the cacoa bean are long gone. And that's a crying shame, because let me tell you: "Real deal" chocolate is not only delicious and satisfying, it's loaded with more health benefits than you can shake a stick at.

Found was a special kind of chocolate that's fit for the gods -- literally. (The Mayan people considered chocolate sacred and used it in their religious ceremonies... But beyond being heavenly, this chocolate is actually healthy!), and when saying healthy, this meaning very HEALTHY! This chocolate has everything -- it's minimally processed, has no added fat and only 2 grams of sugar, it's bursting with antioxidants. fresh-roasted cacoa nibs from tiny, family-farmed cacoa plantations in the shrinking rainforests are very hard to get ones hands on.
Most of us eat our chocolate in bars, drops, and other forms of candy -- like the chocolate chips in cookies. Any chocolate one gets that way is virtually certain to be highly processed and full of sugar and additives. Yeah baby!! Chocolate "nibs," on the other hand, are almost as close to eating the cacoa bean as you can get, other than crunching down on a whole pod. The cacoa "bean" is really a pod, and inside are small "nibs." These bits are what cacoa actually comes from. Every piece of chocolate one eats started its life as a nib. Dagoba (brand name), isn't any old cacoa, either. It meets strict criteria for natural chocolate: Look for chocolate that has plenty of pure cacoa -- as close to 100% as possible to get maximum health benefits. Also look for chocolate that is pure, 100% natural, and minimally processed to maintain that healthy goodness. Dagoba gently roasts the cacoa bean and then crushes the nibs. The result is something that resembles crushed nuts. They're perfect for eating out of your hand, or in any recipe that calls for nibs. (Mix some in a batch of brownies **With herb jaja** instead of walnuts and watch kids and adults go wild!). Normally, nibs that are downright bitter -- probably because the cacoa was inferior to begin with, or it was roasted too long. Like coffee beans, if you apply too much heat, the cacoa is ruined. Dagoba nibs are perfectly roasted, for a rich, dark taste. They are then soaked in freshly pressed cane juice to provide a slightly sweetened taste. They don't have the very sugary taste that many of us expect in chocolate. So if one is looking for that super sweet, mild, milk-chocolate flavor, you'll be surprised.
Chocolate: Nature's "health" food treat

Recent studies on chocolate show it's bursting with important nutrients that benefit everything from your heart to your mood. (Keep in mind -- the research revealing all these benefits was on premium dark chocolate, not the highly processed, mass produced, cheap, sugary junk you find in most supermarkets and movie theater concession stands.)

Good, pure chocolate is chock full of flavonoids, which are some of the most powerful antioxidants on earth. And that's the key to their natural goodness. Take a look at these facts:

CHOCOLATE FACT #1: High in antioxidants
Ounce for ounce, chocolate is one of the richest food sources of these crucial substances. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals--rogue oxygen molecules that can accelerate aging and the problems that come with it.

CHOCOLATE FACT #2: Rich in valuable micronutrients
Chocolate supplies meaningful amounts of potassium, zinc, magnesium and iron.

CHOCOLATE FACT #3: Cholesterol "neutral"
Chocolate has been found to help promote healthy cholesterol levels. And, believe it or not, the fat found in chocolate is "cholesterol neutral," meaning that it doesn't have a negative effect on cholesterol levels.

CHOCOLATE FACT #4: Good for blood pressure
People who ate just over 3 ounces of premium quality dark chocolate each day for two straight weeks had an easier time maintaining healthy blood pressure, according to one study. And, according to a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, chocolate helped promote healthy blood pressure levels in the subjects studied. Chocolate helps relax blood vessels so blood can flow through them easier.

CHOCOLATE FACT #5: A safe, mild stimulant
Chocolate actually has relatively little caffeine, but many people notice a quick increase in alertness and improvement in mood that can last hours after eating.

Lastly to cut this off; to be responsible, too much of the wrong kind of chocolate means too many calories. A 3.5-ounce bar can tack on 500 or more calories to your daily diet. So since many areas of Colombia have the tropical environment this possible to locate? I would say yes but I am not positive. Hope this brightens up some wandering minds....
