Yes, my first thought was "I'm not sure I would have found it delectable
enough to bring home". Besides, I don't think Columbus found chocolate. He
never saw the Incas. 
Once again, I see this as a case of "adjusting" history to fit one's
desires.
A lot depends on the intention of the contest *as the judges* see it.

(that's the distant sounds of screaming you hear...)
Unfortunately I won't be able to be there, so I won't be able to report
back. (Curse that sense of responsibility! I promised to do a software
installation this weekend, so at work I'll be...)
It's OK, I suppose. I generally simply choose not to participate in such
activities. Leading by example makes a lot fewer enemies than self-righteous
preaching.
