<< I had a friend of mine in Meridies translate the Myan and Spanish 
 recipe found in the diary of a Spanish monk who was with the Spanish 
 contingent in Mexico in the mid 1550's.  The recipe is very tastey 
 both in cake style and in hot form.  The pepper they used was a for 
 runner of the jalipino and you use only a pinch for a cup.  I will be 
 happy to post it if you want to see it.  I had it last year at the 
 Pennsic A&S.  The article in the diary talkes about it being served 
 for the Bishop of Toledo (I think) when he visited the monistary that 
 the priest was from.  
 
 There are also tax records for the City of Utrecht in the Netherlands 
 that shows Spanish cocolate for consumption being taxed as a beverage.

I would love to see the recipe.  Thank you in advance.
