But it is NOT a different vegetable. Or nut or whatever. As I said, the
instant mix DOES contain cocoa (albeit "processed" with "alkali"). You
could make your own instant mix out of Hershey's cocoa, sugar, and dry
milk. Would this taste much different than hot chocolate made from
Hershey's cocoa, sugar, and milk from a carton? A little, obviously,
dry milk tastes a little different from milk from a carton. But this is
really silly, and none of this is answering my question which was not
meant to be silly, so I'll stop replying now.
FYI:
Cocoa \Co"coa\ (k[=o]"k[-o]), n., Cocoa palm \Co"coa palm`\
(p[aum]m`)[Sp. & Pg. coco cocoanut, in Sp. also, cocoa palm.
The Portuguese name is said to have been given from the
monkeylike face at the base of the nut, fr. Pg. coco a
bugbear, an ugly mask to frighten children. Cf., however, Gr.
koy^ki the cocoa palm and its fruit, ko`i:x, ko`i:kos, a kind
of Egyptian palm.] (Bot.)
A palm tree producing the cocoanut ({Cocos nucifera}). It
grows in nearly all tropical countries, attaining a height of
sixty or eighty feet. The trunk is without branches, and has
a tuft of leaves at the top, each being fifteen or twenty
feet in length, and at the base of these the nuts hang in
clusters; the cocoanut tree.
