Who doesn't like chocolate? Everybody does! I'm big fun, so I decided to make my top hit of favorites chocolate . The origins of the word "chocolate" probably comes from the Classical Nahuatl wordxocolātl (meaning "bitter water"), and entered the English language from Spanish.
How the word "chocolate" came into Spanish is not certain. Perhaps the most cited explanation is that "chocolate" comes fromNahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, from the word "chocolatl", which many sources derived from the Nahuatl word "xocolatl" (pronounced [ ʃoˈkolaːtɬ]) made up from the words "xococ" meaning "sour" or "bitter",and "atl" meaning "water" or "drink".
However, as William Bright noted,the word "chocolatl" doesn't occur in central Mexican colonial sources, making this an unlikely derivation. Santamaria gives a derivation from the Yucatec Maya word "chokol" meaning "hot", and the Nahuatl "atl" meaning "water". More recently Dakin and Wichman derive it from another Nahuatl term, "chicolatl" from Eastern Nahuatl meaning "beaten drink".
So here is number 5. Reber.
The Reber Success story began in 1865, when Peter Reber opened Chocolate cafe in Munich.
This wonderful world of sweet treats soon became a popular meeting place for the who’s who of Munich.Life was good for the ladies and gentlemen of the upper classes, who enjoyed homemade cakes and a “Schalerl” of coffee.
In 1938, the family moved their headquarters – Café Reber – to downtown Bad Reichenhall in Bavaria, Germany. Here also, within a very short period of time, the Café evolved into a meeting place – for the lovers of a little special indulgence.
It has been over 145 years since the first Reber Café was opened and during that time the company, which is still owned and operated by the family today, has made a name for itself among confectionary gourmets – and not only because of its small delicious treat named the Genuine Reber Mozart-Kugeln.
