In the Christmas sweets aisle. 1kg bars of Cadburys, Made in England, Dairy Milk. $13.99. ;)

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Also imported Terrys Chocolate Oranges (many different varieties), and After Eights...mmmmmmm

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Check out Lawtons Drugstore (if you have one). I got the same bar for $10.99. However, what's a couple of dollars when you can enjoy the real deal :wub: :thumbsup:

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Dang. Missed the chocolate oranges. Have to go back.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

I always thought it was people's imagination that English Cadburys chocolate was better than Canadian Cadburys chocolate!! And then when I was in England I bought some Cadburys and everything became clear. I don't know what they do to the Canadian stuff - its kind of gooey and waxy compared to the English stuff, which is SO much better. I will have to check Zellers out!

I was told that in North American chocolate an edible wax is added to raise the ambient melting temperature.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Not to worry, Superstore sell them for $4.99

We did buy one in Shoppers Drug Mart over the weekend and upon closer examination (and consumption) it appeared to be imported from UK. Which leads me to speculate that a 'North American' chocolate orange doesn't exist and that they all come from the UK.

Cant believe I have seen a thread with this title...just goes to show, if you live long enough eventually you will see everything.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Everything comes to those that wait! ;););)

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Exactly, same with Creme Eggs despite what forum members say :thumbsup: And hey, once we've done the Chocolate Oranges it's Creme Egg season again!

Following on from discussions on Zellers, Walmart et al last week I did choose my thread title with a certain degree of ironic intent.;)

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Cadbury modify the recipe of the chocolate in line with the climate of the country. The only place I have found Cadbury's to be the same is New Zealand...I was told it's the same recipe as the UK.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

The Bay have them too as well as Cadburys Fingers. Bizarrely also found the cadburys fingers in Deco Decouverte as well.

And Loblaws/Maxi this year have christmas puddings, cakes and mince pies from UK. And for the 1st time in 5 years I even saw Jacobs cream crakcers in Maxi this morning - what is the world coming to?

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

after living in Switzerland for 22 years cadburys,terrys and toothe paste in chocolate aka after eights dont quite cut it with me:o

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

But where do you get Cailler and Tartex in Canada?

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Great description of After Eights......unfortunately After Eights season is coming up soon......

Re: In praise of Zellers.....

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Im still trying to find my fav,s...Mon Cherri mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:thumbsup: from italy..

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

I love Callier. My ex brings back several hundred bars from CH each year (her mother has a shop where they sell it). Knowing my predeliction the ex collects the wrappers and gives me those.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

An old friend recounted a story of his youth, where every time he visited his grannies house she would present him a bag of his favorite nuts,hazelnuts. All white and in a little plastic bag tied at the top for him. These he would enjoy slowly eating each nut as if it were the last..
It wasnt till years latter, and umpteen bags of nuts,that he found out where granny got the nuts from.. She used to buy chocolate coverd nuts,and would let the chocolate melt off in her toothless mouth,leaving perfectly white hazel nuts for her grandson to treassure:eek::eek:

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

I was doing some part-time work in The Bay in Market Mall just before last Christmas.... I think I might have spent more than I earned on Cadburys chocolate :o

Oh and I bought 4 chocolate oranges (the original milk ones natch) for the kids... Found them in Wallmart

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Now thats a class act, I could only hope to reach those heights of screwing with my children/grand children's minds.

He's never going to forget her... :thumbup:

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

New ones out this year from Terry's are orange milk chocolate with toffee crunch.:thumbup:

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

You can get all kinds of liqueur-filled chocolates, as well as Mon Cherri. They usually sell them in pharmacies like Shopper's Drug Mart or London Drugs.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

I,ll look into that:thumbup:

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Déco is part of HBC.... hence similar stock.

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Ok I confess, I returned to the UK on holiday and one evening ( when alone) I ate 5 cadburys flakes. Felt slightly sick but oh so happy :D

Re: In praise of Zellers.....
 

Nothing better than a soft serve ice cream with a '99' in it and that mystery raspberry or strawberry syrup dripping down the ice cream.
