Gott sei Dank, dass es Schokolade gibt. So könnte man sagen. Denn dem Schlangengott Quetzalcoatl haben wir es zu verdanken, dass es Kakao und damit eben auch Schokolade gibt. So jedenfalls glaubten die Azteken, die Kakao für ein Geschenk von ihm an die Menschen hielten. Getrunken wurde der Kakao von den Azteken wie gesagt natürlich auch. Aber nicht mit Milch, so wie wir es kennen. Es handelte sich vielmehr um eine Mischung aus Wasser, Kakao, Vanille und Cayennepfeffer, manchmal auch Chili. Deshalb nannten die Azteken das Gebräu auch xocoatl, was soviel heißt wie bitteres Wasser.

These days, hot chicken is a "must-try" Southern food. Restaurants in New York, Detroit, Cambridge, and even Australia advertise that they fry their chicken "Nashville-style."

Hot, Hot Chicken recounts the history of Nashville's Black communities through the story of its hot chicken scene.
