Chocolate Quotations

“The Spanish ladies of the New World are madly addicted to chocolate, to such a point that, not content to drink it several times each day, they even have it served to them in church.”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
The Physiology of Taste (1825)

"If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?"
Marquise de Sévigné
(French writer and lady of fashion) February 11, 1677

“Carefully prepared chocolate is as healthful a food as it is pleasant; that it is nourishing and easily digested; that it does not cause the same harmful effects to feminine beauty which are blamed on coffee, but is on the contrary a remedy for them.”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
The Physiology of Taste (1825)

"Caramels are only a fad. Chocolate is a permanent thing."
Milton Snavely Hershey (1857-1945)
Founded Hershey Chocolate Co 1903.

"Ten years ago taffy cut up into various shapes, and variously flavored, was the favorite. Then gum drops couldn't be made fast enough to meet the call. Dealers began putting brandy and cordials into them, and with that the demand fell off, and the gum drop furore was killed. At one time New York women would scarcely eat any confectionery but cream-stuffed dates. Then fig paste had a run of about two years. Chocolate creams and chocolate caramels have had a long run, and promise to have an enduring demand, but new fashions may start up at any time."
anonymous, The Candy Maker (1878)
