The Field Museum in Chicago is running an exhibit on chocolate which opened, appropriately enough, on Valentine’s Day and runs to the end of the year. They have tie-ins galore, from all angles, with the author of the novel Chocolat lecturing on both the book and movie, lectures on the role of chocolate in history and its place in the environment, and a trip devoted to learning how to make chocolate truffles. They plan to tour the exhibit to other locations, so perhaps it will arrive near you someday. And for the health conscious, remember a bar of chocolate contains more antioxidants than a glass of red wine. But go for the good dark kind which has healthier fats and more antioxidants than milk chocolate which has saturated fats.
