No one expect the Spanish Inquisition. I listened to "The Pirate Podcast" so yes I know the story. Good little channel. Nice use of B-roll. You will grow!!! Keep at it.
Wow Great video! Loved the deep dive into how the Spanish kept chocolate a secret for 100 years. The connection to churros is a fun twist! . It’s fascinating to think about how chocolate went from an exclusive secret to the global phenomenon it is today!
As a decendant of the Mesoamerican people, Herman Cortez was actually gifted the first Cacao beans by the Mexica. The British had no business in the Spanish viceroyalties at that time. 😂. Native crops from the Americas helped better food globally.
… waiting now for the next chapters (by example, « how Switzerland became a chocolate leader »)… This first part also tends to prove that a nation might go to bankrupcy when religion takes over : you mentioned the infamous Inquisition, but the spanish crown made a huge mistake when Isabel « la Catholica » decided to ban both Jews and Muslims (unless they became good christians, hence the Inquisition to check that !) out of her territory - so Spain lost it not only with the misuse of its huge amounts of gold and silver (like many countries today with their oil and gas), but also with a narrowminded misconception of what makes the strength of a nation : Spain’s history gives us a spectacular example of how an ethnic and/or religious « purification » makes a country weaker…
I love your videos, but I noticed some issues with your channel that are holding back your growth. You’re getting fewer views than your competitors, and your channel won’t grow unless these problems are fixed. I’d love to offer you a free audit report to help you identify and solve these issues so you can start growing your channel fast. Interested?

Thank you for your email! I am now subscriber 76!
Great hearing on a new perspective in chocolate history. Very interesting and fascinating. Spanish hot chocolate is the best and now I know why.
Except for Churros -and the predilection towards milk chocolate - Spanish chocolate is a thing but its made in Sciliy
Very insightful video! The part about the Spanish Inquisition is a very unique argument 🤔🙏
Thanks great comment
