Tuesday 18th October 2011

   Methodist Chapel, North Hykeham - presentation by Rosanna and Alan Dixon on ‘Special Edition Chocolates’ – the significance of the coco bean to the economy of many countries having the environment to cultivate the plants with an equatorial rainfall to assist the propagation in producing the crop required after roasting for a high quality product, many are of course inferior and have very little nutritional value.

   The medicinal uses are many and have been used over centuries by the local producers and now worldwide for numerous complaints, samples of chocolate and oil products were passed to the members to familiarise and identify their tastes and use. A most entertaining evening on a subject one would not think would have so much content.
