CHOCOLATE COMES FROM CACAO BEANS. CACAO COMES FROM THE
AZTEC WORD "CACAHUALT," WHICH STANDS FOR "FOOD OF THE
GODS." IT WAS FIRST FOUND IN 1591 BY SPANISH EXPLORER
HERNAN CORTEZ IN MEXICO. AFTER HE TASTED IT, HE
RECOGNIZED ITS COMMERCIAL USE, AND SENT IT BACK TO SPAIN
WITH RECIPES ON HOW TO CONVERT CACAO INTO CHOCOLATE.
THE COCOA TREE (THEOBROMA CACAO) IS A NATIVE ONLY TO THE
DENSE TROPICAL AMAZON FORESTS, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOW
CULTIVATED IN MANY COUNTRIES. COCOA TREES PRODUCE PODS
THAT ARE THE SIZE OF A PINEAPPLE. INSIDE THESE PODS, THERE
ARE BETWEEN 20 AND 50 CREAM-COLORED SEEDS. THE SEEDS,
CALLED BEANS, ARE STRUNG IN FIVE CHAINS AROUND A SINGLE
PLACENTA WITHIN THE POD.

THE CACAO BEAN IS FIRST ROASTED, TO DEVELOP FLAVOR AND AROMA.
IT REDUCES THE MOISTURE CONTENT AND RENDERS THE SHELL IN A LOOSE
CONDITION, SO THAT IT CAN BE READILY REMOVED IN THE PROCESS OF
WINNOWING (CRUSHING THE BEAN TO SEPARATE THE FRUIT FROM THE
SHELL). AFTER THE WINNOWING PROCESS, CACAO PASTE IS PRODUCED,
AND FURTHER PROCESSES CREATE COCOA BUTTER. JOINING THESE TWO
TOGETHER IN DIFFERENT PROCESSES CREATES SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL
CHOCOLATE WE EAT TODAY.

“AMERICAN ‘DANISH’ CAN BE DOUGHY, HEAVY, STICKY, TASTING
OF PRUNES AND IS USUALLY WRAPPED IN CELLOPHANE.
WHEN COCOA POWDER IS COMBINED WITH COCOA BUTTER AND SUGAR,
"REAL" DARK CHOCOLATE IS FORMED. DARK CHOCOLATE CAN BE EITHER
SWEET OR BITTERSWEET DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SUGAR IS ADDED.
DANISH ‘DANISH’ IS LIGHT, CRISP, BUTTERY AND OFTEN TASTES
OF MARZIPAN OR RAISINS; IT IS SELDOM WRAPPED IN
ANYTHING BUT LOVING CARE.”
MILK CHOCOLATE IS MADE WHEN COCOA POWDER IS COMBINED WITH
COCOA BUTTER, SUGAR, AND MILK POWDER. THE ADDITION OF MILK TO
THIS COMBINATION GIVES IT A BROWNISH COLOR.

MANY PEOPLE MIGHT ARGUE THAT WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT REALLY
CHOCOLATE. BUT THE FACT IS THAT WHITE CHOCOLATE IS MADE BY
COMBINING COCOA BUTTER, SUGAR, AND MILK POWDER.
SINCE COCOA BUTTER IS DERIVED FROM THE COCOA BEAN, THEN WE CAN
ONLY CONCLUDE THAT REAL WHITE CHOCOLATE IS INDEED CHOCOLATE.

THE HOAX STORY OF THE NEIMAN-MARCUS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
“My daughter and I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a
small dessert…we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie." It was so excellent that I asked if they
would…let me buy the recipe? With a cute smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much, and she
responded, "Two-fifty." I said with approval, just add it to my tab. Thirty days later…as I glanced at
the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.00." Boy, was I upset!! I called Neiman's…
and told them…I did not realize she meant $250.00 for a cookie recipe. I asked them to take back the
recipe and reduce my bill and they said…the bill would stand…I just said, "Okay, you folks got my
$250.00 and now I'm going to have $250.00 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that
every cookie lover will have a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus for nothing. She replied, "I
wish you wouldn't do this." I said, "I'm sorry but this is the only way I feel I could get even,"…So,
here it is, and please pass it to someone else…I paid for it; now you can have it for free.”

TRUE STORY OF THE NEIMAN-MARCUS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
Pat Zajac, Neiman Marcus spokesperson in Dallas, said that the tall tale has been circulating since
she came to work for the chain in 1986. “There has never been a Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip
Cookie recipe that we sold for $250. Never."
When it comes to signature dishes, Neiman Marcus is most famous for its Orange Soufflé Ring and
its Caramel Soufflé Ring. (Anyone interested in getting a copy of these recipes -- free of charge -- can
write to: Neiman Marcus Food Service Division, 1618 Main St., Dallas, TX 75201.)
The Neiman Marcus Cookie caper is remarkably similar to another rumor that circulated several
years ago about the recipe for Mrs. Fields' Chocolate Chip Cookies. And veterans of the food world
say the story formula goes back to the 1930s, when a similar tale was told about the Waldorf Astoria's
Red Velvet Cake.
Thanks to Ruth Clifford for contributing the recipe and Les Farthing for the “truth” about the cookie!

CAROL DAVIS SAYS THE NAME “WAR CAKE” CAME FROM THE FACT THAT THIS
RECIPE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EGGS IN IT DUE TO THE SHORTAGES IMPOSED BY
THE GOVERNMENT DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. SHE REMEMBERS
HELPING HER MOTHER, MRS. BIAS, WITH THIS RECIPE WHEN SHE WAS A TEENAGER. JUST ANOTHER SMALL PART OF THE HISTORY OF SACRIFICES OUR CLASS
MEMBERS MADE ON THE “HOME FRONT” DURING THE WAR. MANY OTHER FOOD
ITEMS INCLUDING SUGAR AND EVEN FRUIT WERE RATIONED OR IN SHORT
SUPPLY. THIS STORY WILL BRING BACK MANY MEMORIES, I AM SURE, OF
FAMILIES WHO “WENT WITHOUT” TO HELP THE “BOYS ON THE FRONT.”
