Che cosa significa a bona fide out-of-the-jungle, into-civilization tale of culinary wonder ?

Vedi una traduzione

bona fide = actual, genuine, legitimate (here I think it means something close to "no-exaggeration")

out-of-the-jungle, into-civilization = (literally what it says) the beans came out of the jungle and were brought into civilization

tale: a story, usually containing fantasy elements and/or inspiring wonder

culinary: relating to cooking

wonder: wonder XD (how do you define wonder?)

Put together, the story of the cacao bean is a story relating to cooking that inspires wonder, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the beans came right out of the jungle and into civilization. (Of course the original sentence sounds far more witty and compact.)
