Chocolate Chips

[Guest alice29]

According to Nestle, Mrs. Wakefield (owner of the Toll House Inn) was making chocolate cookies but ran out of regular baker’s chocolate, so she substituted it with broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, thinking that it would melt and mix into the batter. It clearly did not, and the chocolate chip cookie was born. Wakefield sold the recipe to Nestle in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate chips (instead of patenting it and making billions!) Every bag of Nestle chocolate chips in North America has a variation of her original recipe printed on the back (margarine is now included both as a variant on butter and for those people who want to pretend it is healthy).

Wow, i never knew that... so there must be a history of every chocolate trademark by any major chocolate making companies like Hershey's, Toblerone and others. It would be interesting to know those facts..

[Guest alice29]

if only she was smart enough by not selling the recipe to nestle, she could have get more than lifetime supply of chocolate chips, and thats a lot of cash! B)

wow neng, you like to cook? do you cook good? what recipe do you know? Me, I am learning, I am not in culinary school, but I look for online stuffs to learn cooking. I tried Siomai. I chose that because one store here sells siomai and it is extremely delicious.

*Siomai - steam meat wrapped in a wrapper originated from Japan.

[Guest pjbabia]

the good chocolates can be seen in a dairy country like New Zealand and Australia, there are a lot of quality chocolates in there.. and also delicious and nutritious...

[Guest Andry]

@pjbabia

Yes, chocolates are good if that was produced from New Zealand and Australia. I ever tasted chocolates from Australia but only once :D

[Guest alice29]

i didnt know that until you told it here guys. i thought it's from the US who give delicious chocolates! but chocolate chips is different from plain chocolates. it's a cookie with chocolates! :biggrin:

[Guest Andry]

@alice

Actually, I don't too much know too. I only got informations from some friends but I never tried chocolates from different countries except my own country hahaha...

[Guest pjbabia]

even US import their chocolates from countries who produce good quality cocoa... i think the best one is in New Zealand.. those country which have a lot of dairy products..

[Guest alice29]

so when you talk of "chips ahoy" that's from where? because thats what a kind of chocolate chip i eat and its really delicious! :smile:

[Guest pjbabia]

Chips Ahoy are made by Nabisco and their head quarters is in Hanover, New Jersey, U.S. therefore their origin must be in US.. but that doesnt mean they are the one who made their chocolate. Who knows they just import the raw chocolate from somewhere else. Of course they wont tell us where they import their chocolates.

[Guest alice29]

thanks for the information pj. have you tasted this kind of chocolate chips? based on my research the largest producer of cocoa is ivory coast and ghana. :wacko:
