Jamaican Cocoa Inspired - The Birth of Cadbury Chocolate

In 1689 Sir Hans Sloane a Physician with a passion for science, returned to England after an eighteen month stay in Jamaica. He took with him a collection of some 800 specimens of local flora and fauna as well as a recipe for a chocolate drink made from the Island’s cocoa beans. His version of a “Chocolate Drink” was sold to the Cadbury Company resulting in: “The Birth of the Cadbury Milk Chocolate” This week Backyard Labrish is excited to enlighten our listeners to yet another of Jamaica’s contribution to the "Chocolate Lovers" of the world.
