I'm almost mad. And I really should be! Mad for having waited all the years to get to my age before knowing the real taste of chocolate. This for me, is the proper taste bud rebith. I have to add that the perpetrator is a Florentine; his people aren't exactly first offenders in matters of Renaissance. Claudio Corallo has however, left Tuscany of his birth many years ago, to dedicate himself first to growing coffee, in Zaire, and now cocoa beans in Sao Tome.
