Today’s Gutenberg Gem is a detailed account of one of my favorite things in life:

The Food of the Gods, by Brandon Head

When one thinks of the marvellously nourishing and stimulating virtue of cocoa, and of the exquisite and irresistible dainties prepared from it, one cannot wonder that the great Linnæus should have named it theo broma, “the food of the gods.” No other natural product, with the exception of milk, can be said to serve equally well as food or drink, or to possess nourishing and stimulating properties in such well-adjusted proportions.

Amen!
