Hot Chocolate

[moon_custafer]

Picked up breakfast from McDonald's this morning as I usually do on weekends. Oddly for this time of year, they were giving out free samples of hot chocolate in little cups; it wasn't bad, but it couldn't hold a candle to that Chantico stuff that Starbucks used to serve in similar little cups for a few months one winter six years ago. I'd always wondered why they discontinued the drink, so I looked it up just now - apparently customers wouldn't stand for the fact that it was the one drink on their menu that couldn't be altered to taste. Huh.

However, other people must have shared my love for the stuff, because there are a lot of "how to make it at home" posts on recipe sites. I'll probably wait till winter to try them, though.

Also "Chantico" was apparently the Aztec goddess of hearth, home and (these being the Aztecs we're talking about) volcanoes.

The only time I ever experience McDonalds breakfasts is on rare family trips. I remember my mother fell madly in love with something served on a syrup-infused bun, but not what it was. ^_^

Tezcatlipoca was always my favorite...there's this brilliant depiction of him as Tepeyollotl in the Codex Borbonicus that I've always loved.

Breakfast is the best thing on the menu of the Sacred Albino!

I like their breakfast sandwiches, and they do a nice cinnamon bun thing. Also, their coffee got miles better about 10-15 years ago and is now pretty much on a par with Tim Hortons.
