Quazen

A Flemish folklore story dedicated to a brave cheating little bird that made its way.

In fact this was the extraordinary price – worth 2,500 florins (about $1,000) at the time – that one man paid for a single tulip bulb in Holland in the 1630’s. Even higher sums than that changed hands at the height of what has come to be known as “Tulipomania” – a range for trading in tulip bulbs that swept the nation between 1634 and 1637…How did such an extraordinary state of affairs come to be?

From Honduras to Hershey, the story of chocolate.

Enjoy.
