<<< And not sugar at all :( I was invited in Mexico City to a  
restaurante
serving pre-columbian food. Snake soup (it tasted as eel, not bad at

toasted larvae, crunchy grasshoppers and chocolate made of 100 procent
cacao, no sugar and chili, it was a real experience!

a period version of the chocolate drink, there are several recipes in  
this Florilegium file:
