The most important news of the day

Sainsburys do a couple of excellent chocolates around that level. Much
nicer than G&B.

 

A-fucking-men.

There is, however, a direct relationship between cocoa content and
likelihood of tasting like crap.

 

Bell curve.

 

As per beer. Low alcohol beer always tastes of nothing (or something
'orrible). There are some exceptions of course, like that godawful stuff
that Ace drinks.

 

Hershey bars? horrible.

Again I'd say really good choccie by the likes of Lindt is nice as milk or
dark but as Ad said the latter with a glass of red or Port is a pleasant
experience.

 

There is a *little* more to it.
The high solids Lindt has very little sugar content.
Handy that, for the 'Mongs.

 

Yes they are, but I was referring to Cadbury branded chocolate,
availabe in the US.

Bahlsen Choco Leibniz, plain.

 

There are only two places I know that you can buy "real" Cadbury chocolate
in the US;
- the British Embassy shop in Washington DC
- the UK Pavilion in the Epcot Centre - Florida

Everything else branded as Cadbury in the US is made under license and
tastes foul.

 

There's plenty of others.

Yes as said above. It's very easy to tell the difference, the wrapper
makes it quite clear.

 

Yet another leveraged buyout. Next step, asset stripping on both sides
to pay off the debt. Same old same old.

It's a great quote but the Cadbury family surrendered effective control
of the company when they took the money in 1969 so they can stick their
protests up their collective arse.

 

Yes, they have.

It's OK, it's only one word on the packet. I presume they decided that
stupid people thought "plain" ones were too boring or something.

<soothing sounds>

 

But it's a fag company. A huge fag company.

 

I recently tried an asortment of 10 different chocolate from Pralus (the
pyramid):

Each plate is made from unmixed beans, you got the very distinctive
flavours of different cocoa beans.

Very fine.

 

And console themselves with a Kraft Creme Egg.

 

Atria (formerly P Morris) spun off Kraft in 2007. Kraft is fully
independent & publicly listed on the NYSE.
