As my time in Placencia, Belize continued, I headed out to get some breakfast and learn how Mayan chocolate is made with my friend at Taste Belize!

DE’TACH: Here, I tried a Belizean breakfast, fry jacks! Mine was stuffed with scrambled eggs, refried beans, ham, and bacon. We also had traditional non-stuffed fry jacks and Johnny cakes.
MAYAN VILLAGE: At this Mayan village, they have over 3000 trees on a 10-acre plot. Belize grows some of the best cacao in the world!
CHE’IL MAYAN CHOCOLATE FACTORY: At this local chocolate factory, I learned how to grind cacao nibs into a chocolate paste, make chocolate bars, and even tried a cocoa drink and a “chocolate martini!”
SOUTHERN HIGHWAY SNACKS & CAFÉ: Here, I had an amazing chicken tamale with some habanero salsa. It was inexpensive but flavorful and made for a great snack

My mom sometimes adds sugar to the flour mixture to make sweet fry jacks for breakfast. DELISH!!!!!! :)

[@ShabanandHailey]

Hi David...the Fried Jacks looked like fried bakes that we have in Trinidad...also Johnny cakes looks good too ....nice knowing they are affordable breakfast items esp for large families. Beaches are always nice to see...So many various types of cocoa means a variety of chocolate tastes. Always interesting seeing how chocolate and the drinks are made. Another good video. As always Thanks David ....safe travels Peace and Blessings.

Morning David. Nice one. Love the food. Fry jacks are what we call fried bakes in Trinidad. It was really a treat to see how they make their chocolate. So pure, natural and truly organic. I see that he didn't temper the chocolate and just put it in the fridge. Perfect chocolate bar. We ate a lot of the flesh of the raw cocoa. It's very sweet. Those tamales make my mouth water but I am not sure about a whole chicken wing in it though. I love my eggs scrambled in the pan, not beaten like she did. It looked dry. All in all, the trip to Belize is turning out to be a real (chocolate) treat😋🤗. Have a great weekend. 🙏✌️❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦

@@ShabanandHailey hi Shabana. There was a 4.9 earthquake yesterday too. This is the second one. WOW. I will Google it and see where it was. Hopefully no damage anywhere. We all have to pray a lot now because so many things are happening. Thank God you all are safe. I have to call my sister who lives in Claxton Bay. We have good weather up here. Take care of yourself and Hailey and be safe. 🙏😇😇💞🇹🇹🇨🇦

[@JudyT868]

​@@ShabanandHailey hi Shabana. I believe that earthquake happened yesterday. They updated the story today. No earthquakes reported today. Googled it and didn't find anything.

I asked if you had ever been to the blue seahorse hotel. My mistake I meant the Jade seahorse. My memory hasn’t been the same since I smoked that amnesia haze. My bad.
