Not today, but the day before I launched my 2nd attempt at making chocolate from cocoa pods. The 1st time, the fermentation failed and I just got rotten seeds in a pot.
~I watched a video series where someone did the techniques in isolation in reverse order and I thought it was a good idea. That way you're always learning on perfect ingredients. i.e. buy chips and learn to temper, then buy roasted nibs and learn to refine, then buy dried and learn to roast, then buy pods and learn to ferment and dry.~
