CHOCOLATE TURKEYS

The National Wild Turkey Federation tells us there are five subspecies of North American turkeys. And Gnosis, always using Nature as its inspiration, has created five subspecies of its own! The question, then, is not “White meat or dark?” but rather “What kind of deliciousness do you want? Dark? Whyte? Filled?” Actually, why not welcome the entire rafter (group of turkeys, like a pod of whales) into your home? As anyone who's experienced Gnosis chocolate will say, this profoundly rich chocolate is not to be devoured, but rather savored, as one does a fine wine.

Written by David Barg, the late great Gnosis Chocolate Dad who is with us in spirit this holiday season but whose prolific writing lives on forever on our website!

A Bird of Courage

“For in Truth the Turk’y is in comparison (to the Bald Eagle) a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America.... He is, (though a little vain and silly, it is true, but not the worse emblem for that,) a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British Guards, who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”
— Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin inspires us to think differently about the turkey. The turkey lost by one vote in 1782, when the Second Continental Congress chose the bald eagle as our national bird. But Gnosis, meaning no disrespect to that august group, has ushered its Chocolate Turkeys into their rightful place - the winner’s circle!

Since 1986, Farm Sanctuary has worked to do the same with their Adopt a Turkey program. This year, please consider symbolically adopting one of their rescued “spokesturkeys.” We’ve adopted 7 year old Alexandra The Great!

“The turkey had a long and distinguished history before being promoted for America's national emblem. Centuries before Christopher Columbus reached the New World, the Aztecs had domesticated a wild game bird that we call the turkey, but they called huexolotl.

The turkey was so important to the Aztecs as a source of food that they regarded the bird as a god. There were two religious festivals a year in the turkey's honor. Like the Aztecs to the south, the North American Indian tribes regarded the turkey as a powerful spiritual symbol. They prized its breast feathers as an alternative to goose down for warm winter cloaks. Southwestern tribes, believing the turkey to be the guide that ushered the dead into the next world, buried their loved ones in turkey-feather robes.” -Andrew G. Gardner
