Deadpan delivery

Said machine, on the poster. I think it's known as a mélangeur-broyeur. Basically french for mixer-pounder/grinder. Grinding the cacao beans into a buttery mix. Anyhow our tour guide was quite impressive in his ability to tell an entertaining tour, without managing to sound excited about anything. He actually got the job working in a chocolate factory from Craigslist.com of all places. And after 5 months is one of the senior characters in the cast. You have to wonder how a guy with a great culinary backgournd ends up as a tour guide in a chocolate factory. Then again, maybe it makes perfect sense.
