Warning, Be careful what you ask for

It was damp and rainy yesterday, and I'd had more than my share of strong Italian coffee, espresso and cappuccino. So I stopped into a Cafe and asked for a hot chocolate, just the right thing to take the chill off. And that's what I got a coffee mug full of dark rich liquified hot chocolate. Sort of the consistency of pudding. I looked at our guide and he said, that is what people drink here as hot chocolate. I thought it was strange when the waitress asked me how much whipped cream I wanted in it. Evidently the standard is 50% chocolate and 50% cream, and they leave it up to you to mix.
I ate it anyway, and it was rich, but very filling.

Oh, BTW, if you want American hot chocolate, you need to ask for a Maraccino (as in cherry, except the CC is sounded as a K), it comes pretty close, and come with a shot of espresso anyway.

I was so shocked about this process, I didn't even take a picture. You wouldn't believe be anyway.
