That said, the position of chocolate on his list (right after coffee and English breakfast tea), may indeed indicate that it was drinking chocolate. On the other hand, when Fay Fuller climbed in 1890, she mentions stuffing chocolate in the pockets of her blouse and "eating" it when she reached the summit, so I'm thinking that at least was in bar or drop form. But no worries. My heroine doesn't bring any form of chocolate with her in 1893. :-)Regina Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122254474376535221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-24666483853725312422020-08-01T17:53:11.512-04:002020-08-01T17:53:11.512-04:001870s is very early for chocolate bars.

Chocolate was considered a health food for invalids. Doing some digging on Google reveals that chocolate (drinking) was part of military rations in the 1860s.
