Fudge did start in the USA!.!.!.!.oops
fudge is in fact an America invention!. Records and recipes dating back to 1886 trace the origins to a batch of 'bungled (or fudged)' caramels made on February 14th 1886 - hence the name fudge!. Click the link arrow below and take a look at what is claimed to be the original 1886 recipe published by Emelyn Battersby Hartridge, then a student at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York!.
However this may help as far as France
Chocolate was first introduced to the country in the 17th century by a Spanish princess, Anne of Austria, when she wedded the King of France Louis XIII!. Royal infatuation for the sweet and spicy beverage brought from Mesoamerica by Spanish conquistadors soon spread throughout the French court!. In fact, this new ingredient became a topic of debate and controversy!. Many attributed a myriad of therapeutic virtues to the cocoa bean and praised its digestive, restoring and aphrodisiac properties!. Others denounced the consumption of the exotic bean as a dangerous vice!. Chocolate’s irresistible attraction, however, soon alleviated fears and the miracle food was sold in pharmacies in France!.
At the onset of the Industrial Revolution, chocolate businesses were established making chocolate bars and cocoa beverages finally accessible to the masses!. Chocolate was quickly to become a French passion… but not just any chocolate: the French pallet is as demanding with chocolate as it is with wine and has a definite preference for dark chocolate!. Indeed, from hot cocoa cups sipped in a café to handcrafted bite size morsels, the French indulge in high quality dark chocolate!. Each family has its favorite chocolate mousse and cake recipe that is passed down to the next generation!. No family gathering is complete without that special chocolate cake that our grandmother used to bake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
