But barbados doesnt grow cocoa commercially ?

Sunniebgi

no, we don't.. but.. we do have some really great chocolate makers (Agapey) and Chocolatiers.. and pastry chefs and a fabulous culinary scene.. so.. there you go..

in fact.. there are people that have Cocoa growing in their back yards and have no idea what to do with it.. ha..

Ok, well i think there are some videos on how to make cocoa but its true that the pods themselves can be quite pretty.

Consider this - everything you like to drink is fermented to make its flavour - apart from fruit juice, tea coffee cocoa beer wine booze - its all fermented...
