Giving Thanks
November 24, 2011
By the time American Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving, cacao was largely unknown outside of Meso-America. The unfortunate side-effect of this timing is that chocolate would not have been present at that original Thanksgiving dinner. 
Therefore, it's not part of the American traditional Thanksgiving meal. 🙁
Well, I guess it doesn't really matter. In the grand scheme, today is a day to stop and give thanks for the many blessings we have received. Chocolate is still one of those blessings. And so are you!
Chocolate University Online has always been dedicated to the love of chocolate, helping everyone who comes this way to learn some new nugget of information about our favorite food. Since you are here reading this, you must find value in this. So I am thankful for you.
As much as I love chocolate, sharing information is useless unless someone is present to receive. So whether you just stop by for a bit of chocolate insight from time to time, or you're a current CUO student or alumnus, thanks for showing up. It's for you that I am here.
Have a great Thanksgiving Day! And, if you've worked chocolate into your Thanksgiving traditions, how about posting a comment below for all of us.

Two things that I always look forward to during Thanks giving are the turkey! (drooling) and catching up things with my relatives since we all celebrate it in our ancestral house.
