No wonder chocolate always seems to stir up so much debate on these fora. Apparently, American chocolate isn't chocolate at all, by British definitions.

I'm convinced that cats piss is an essential ingredient to north american chocolate.

It is moose shit.

I have to admit LV is correct
Cats piss is used in the beer, whilst horse piss is used in Canadian 'wines'

its all a bit irrelevant when you consider Kraft already own terry’s, Cote D’or, Tobelerone and the Swiss suchard brands

and Kenco Coffee for those brits who think the coffee is so much better back 'ome.

I buy it as joke chocolate for my team when on holiday & am sharply sent out to get proper stuff.

Cadburys is crap anyway. I prefer Mars/Galaxy.

Although if I'm really honest, of the chocolates available in supermarkets etc, Lindt pisses all over Cadburys/Hersheys/Mars and everyone else.

I tried that fair trade stuff, what rip off, it tasted like crap.

Green and Black's wins every time.

US chocolate, Hersheys specifically tastes like vomit, but then that other US chocolate is divine, what the heck is it called. Ghirandelli or summat and how come Godiva chocolate isn't a patch on the Godiva chocolates I used to buy in St John's Wood?

Lindt choccie isnt gluten free BTW, just in case this is important to someone, anyone

It's also been owned by Cadbury since 2005.

Agreed. Technically, I think it's a blend of vomit and sweaty feet

with added armpit

and the left over from the first flush

Sadly, although North American chocolate is shit, I continue to consume it when no alternative is readily available. Damn you, sweet tooth.
