**Rescheduled**
The Bittersweet History of Chocolate
Friday, March 21
6:30-8pm
Teens 15+
Registration Required
Throughout its history, chocolate has been a food of the gods, then kings. Chocolate, the bestower of both pleasurable delight and cultural myth-making, a coveted luxury export of New World colonialism, a conspirator in illicit seduction and decadent moral decline, a sweet method of murder by poison, and the embodiment of globalization. The contemporary culture and consumption of chocolate remains rich with neo-colonialism, modern slavery, and environmental degradation.
Participants in this teen history program will learn the science, social impact, and socio-environmental future of this bittersweet commodity. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in how to make dipped chocolate truffles, chocolate ganache, chocolate sauce, and concoct their very own death by chocolate.
