Chocolate Day: How did it come about ?
This date, 7 July, was picked since it was on this date in 1550, that chocolate was first brought to Europe*.
For interest sake, since we are on the African continent: It was noted that the first cacao tree was brought to African tropics by the Portuguese. They were believed to have planted cacao on the island of San Thome (off French Gabon) as far back as 1822.**
