The pod reminds me of acorn squash...amazing stuff, cacao... I've found a treat, a type of chocolate bar that is 80% cacao...a little on the bitter side but gives a special satisfaction...hard to say why... but it's very good for me! it has to be !! mmmmm..chocolate!

`~ dark bitter chocolate is good for you Lori~maybe not in large quantities mind! but I can't eat large quantities of it anyway !We have Black and Greens over here and they do butterscotch and peppermint and they are nice!
