Macadamia Chocolate

by liau on February 4, 2009

While opening a box of macadamia chocolates, I noticed some interesting writeup at the bottom of the box. Believed to be enjoyed by Australia’s indigenous people from a long way back, this nut was eventually named after Australian scientist Dr John McAdam. Now, the country is one of the biggest suppliers of macadamia nuts in the world. Well, it sure was an interesting read while I enjoy this special macadamia nut wrapped in some calorie laden chocolate!

Tagalog Translation:
Habang binibuksan ko ang isang kahon ng tsokolateng macadamia, napansin ko ang nakasulat sa ilalim ng kahon tungkol sa macadamia. Pinaniniwalaang ito ay kinagisnan na ng mga katutubo sa Australia matagal na panahon na ang nakalilipas, ngunit ito ay pinangalan sa isang Australian scientist na si Dr John McAdam. Sa ngayon, ang bansang ito ang isa sa mga malaking pinanggagalingan ng macadamia nuts sa buong mundo. Talagang magandang babasahin ang nasa kahon habang ini-enjoy ko itong espesyal na macadamia nut na balot sa tsokolateng siksik sa ‘calories’.

Naalala ko kung bata ako, minsan akong napunta sa hometown ng tita ko (asawa ng uncle ko), at binigyan nila kami ng ganitong tsokolate.. dun sa box, may picture pa nung Dr. McAdam. Isa ang macadamia sa pinakagusto kong kapares ng tsokolate.

Ang aking tsokolate ay naka-post dito, at ang sa aking kapatid naman ay nandito. Happy Huwebes, ka-LP!
