Every night is chocolate night in Oaxaca.

Chocolate - the raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical cacao tree - i s so much more than its [|Wikipedia definition]. Chocolate has a smell, a taste, a mouthfeel that awakens the senses. Think mole negro, chocolate con leche, chocolate con agua, chocolate atole, champurrado, tejate.
