In Mexico, hot chocolate is made of water, not milk. To prepare the drink, one brings the water to a boil and then adds the cocoa. When someone becomes extremely agitated, it is said that they are “Like Water for Chocolate”. This expression is also used to describe a state of sexual arousal. In the tradition of Latin American literature’s magic realism, “Like Water For chocolate” tells the story of a woman and her lover who, having been denied marriage, find inventive ways of sharing their love. She can impart her feelings and desire through her cooking and everyone around ends up inadvertently participating in their passion.
