bate bate chocolate

Cultural background: Chocolate (and vanilla by the way) are native to Central/South America and were consumed, and worshipped, by the Maya and Aztecs. Europeans acquired a taste for these flavors after the Spaniards occupied what is now Mexico. It started as a luxury item for the wealthy and eventually, well, we know what happened. Chocolate in Mexico is traditionally consumed as a liquid, not as a bar, and is often spicy-- think "HOT" chocolate! Cacao (chocolate powder without sugar) is also used in mexican cooking such as mole sauces. "Bate bate chocolate" means to stir up the chocolate. And, have you ever seen a cacao pod? Check it out:
