George R. R. Martin gets gifted a huge chocolate replica of the Iron Throne
It’s almost a given that some Game of Thrones props have become iconic pieces of pop culture. The famous Iron Throne is the one that sticks out from the rest. The characters’ ambition to take over the seven kingdoms and seize the crown is fueled by the Iron Throne. However, a new version of the wicked throne that George R. R. Martin received as a gift will make you want it even more.
George R. R. Martin gets the Chocolate Throne
You might’ve always wondered how it felt like to sit on the Iron Throne. A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin got to taste a chocolate version of it. In his recent blog on Not A Blog, Martin happily flaunted his latest gift,
“My readers sometimes astonish me. And never more than last week, when the baker and chocolatier at the Rosewood Mayakoba resort left a surprise for Parris and me in our suite: an amazing replica of the throne of the Seven Kingdoms as seen on GAME OF THRONES.
Instead of iron, however, this throne was made entirely of CHOCOLATE. It was, it must be said, a helluva throne, and every bit as delicious as it was imposing.”
The Chocolate Throne was accompanied by a Chocolate Dragon
However, the Chocolate Throne had much more to offer. The complete delicacy was accompanied by a chocolate dragon, which even breathed “fire”. Martin continued,
“The dragon was cool too, and he actually breathed fire. The throne was so large that there was no way we could eat all of it… but we did give it the old Westerosi try. Yum Yum. The chocolate dragon and the chocolate skulls came home with us.
It was a wonderful gesture. I have some amazing fans, as creative as they are generous.
And if you’re ever in the Yucatan, the Rosewood Mayakoba is a fantastic place to stay.”
