Answer by csanda
Biggest producers of chocolate:
1. Ivory Coast (40% of world’s supply)
2. Ghana
3. Indonesia
4. Cameroon
5. Brazil
6. Nigeria
7. Ecuador
Collectively, the above produce 80% of the world’s cocoa supply.
Source: CRB Commodity Yearbook and ED&F Man website
Largest consumers: 2001 had the best breakdown of country demand in CRB Commodity Book. Now this “consumption” is based on basically how much chocolate they make, not eat.
1. US
2. Netherlands
3. Ivory Coast
4. Germany
5. Brazil
6. France
7. UK
8. Malaysia
9. Italy
10. Belgium
11. Former Soviet Union
12. Rest of World
In terms of eating, chocolate consumption goes hand in hand with GDP. Naturally, there are some that are above the curve (e.g. Belgium) and some below the curve (e.g. Japan).
Petra food has a very good graph on chocolate consumption here:

Download the prospectus and look on page
Look on page 75. It’s a bit Asian-centric, but it has great information on the chocolate industry.

The Rule of 7… About Nigella Lawson
Nigella Lawson… stuff I didn’t know
1. *She was born in 1960… which would make her younger than I am, which seems to be case more and more the case these days, it seems lol.
2.*Her first book was entitled… How To Eat! I could have written a book with a title like that, but I’m not sure anyone would have paid money for it, but I do know how to eat! *She wasn’t educated in her field of cooking, but has a Masters in Languages. Hey, maybe I could pull off a cookbook after all!
3.*She has a pretty cool website with some amazing recipes. The one that she was featuring on the day I visited was Mexican Hot Chocolate. It did look rather scrumptious! Be sure to visit her site : http://www.nigella.com/recipe/
4.*She is quite comfortable in her own skin and her weight. Actually, isn’t she what we would term a normal size? More on this story can be found here: http://jezebel.com/329152/nigella-lawson-feels-bad-about-her-body
5.*What I love about her kitchen: it’s messy. Translation… she likes everything at her fingertips! That’s how I like my kitchen too! It drives my daughter crazy, but it’s my kitchen lol!!
6.”Although I think it is a duty to appreciate the good things in life (and by that I mean what used to be called blessings) I also feel a little anxious and apprehensive about shouting from the rooftops how lucky I am.” Nigella Lawson
7.. Now, you have to love this part… a peek at some of her recipes. For someone who enjoys food as much as she does, you just know that they are going to be good!
Recipes by Nigella Lawson: You are going to need a set of kitchen scales for these recipes, but I found them easily. I love the fact that all I have to wash up is one “measuring dish” instead of a whole bunch of measuring cups!
