What is a Chocolatada?
Only found in Spain during the 1500's, chocolatada is a thick Spanish drink often served hot, that is made with melted chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon and other spices. It is not served as thick as it originally was served as we serve ours over ice, which cools it down for the warm afternoon. This drink does have milk, soy and small amounts of tree nut in it.
Meet Her Royal Majesty,
Queen Isabel
About Her Royal Majesty, Queen Isabel & Her 'Village of Mistfits'
Nestled in a small forest village in 1568 during the Golden Days of Spain, Queen Isabel (Elisabeth in France) protected some of the people that would have been taken by the Catholic Church's Inquisition. While she was devoted to her faith, she deeply disliked the Inquisition and did not want to be at the viewings that the church urged her and King Philip II to attend. This hidden little village, giving refuge, became lovingly known as the Queen's 'Village of Misfits' and harbored all types of people from various places who happened to have the unfortunate and dubious honor of escaping the Inquisition.
