The taste of food all depends on what your used to, the north american chocolate tastes fine to me, but its what I am used to.

When I was in Australia I didn't care for some of the candy there, and the British chocolate thats been brought back from the UK by family tastes funny to me, I didn't care for it much.

I agree. I've got used to Canadian chocolate now, and last time I went back to the UK the British chocolate was too sickly for me.

Cadbury's chocolate is the finest in the world.
I loved it when in the UK and I'm happy to saw that it's available here.
I know Cadbury has a factory in Jakarta but I don't know if they import the raw materials from the UK.
It's expensive by local standards so maybe.
I do know that when I want a taste of home I wander into an Indomarket and buy a bar.
Been looking for a good Indian restaurant but I'm buggered if I can find one and the Chinese places are all crap around here so it's my only lifeline.

CADBURY :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Added. The local chocolate brands taste better on the way out. Well I'm guessing so.

Many, many well-known brands are produced under licence close to market and to suit local preferences/conditions. Coke is a good example, as are Marlboro cigs. I saw Heinz tomato ketchup in Kuwait that was made in Egypt.

A lot of Ribena (especially the larger size bottles) here in Canada has chinese writing on it....is it shipped from the UK to HK and then on to Canada.

I think that Ribena is only made in the UK. The label has nothing to do with it. The stuff shipped to Canada is likely the same as that shipped to HK. When I buy power tools, the instructions are almost always in English, French and Spanish.

My only advice is to read the label and not buy it if it is made/produced in Canada:rofl:

And it is not just British food that is the issue for me, it is good quality food and that is something hard to find here. Maybe I am just too picky but there are quite a few things with hardly any taste, I don't mind mayo here but anywhere else it is too strong. Spicy food is hard to find, you go to an Indian and ask for a hot curry and I can eat it no problems, most other places I couldn't.

I think you'll find that it comes from Colombia. Columbia (British) has a different product.

i found the coca cola bottled in eastern europe tasted different to uk bottled and a lot cheaper.
it was cheaper to buy/transport from ukraine to uk than buy at wakefield/east kilbride.;)
