Famed Parisian Tearoom Angelina Changes Name of Hot Chocolate After Social Media Callout

Famed Parisian tearoom Angelina has renamed its signature hot chocolate drink in New York City and Paris. The drink’s name — formerly “L’Africain,” or “the African” — has been in use for more than a century and appears on the menus of more than 30 international locations. The original name of the drink will remain at Angelina’s 30 plus international locations, except at its flagship tearoom in France, and in NYC, where the company has decided to rename the drink “chocolat chaud à l’ancienne,” which roughly translates to old-fashioned hot chocolate. The website for Angelina Paris, however, still identifies the drink as L’Africain at the time of publication.
