I am very British. I'm a Brighton boy.

But Hershey's 'ordinary' chocolate bars are good.

Of all the chocolate bars I've had here that I've also had in England, I can't say I've noticed the slightest difference. I accept there probably are differences, I just haven't noticed them.

Galaxy = Dove - why change the name, just makes it confusing? But the only Dove chocolate I have found is 8 small chocolates in a box. The taste is near enough the same but no Galaxy ripple or minstrels.

The chocolate is really bad here, when I get any I order it from a British online food shop or I can find it in various shops here.

You can't get the frozen yorkshire puddings here before they are pudding, so in essence the batter mix in a foil cup. They always taste too rubbery when they are ready done like that. And they never rise when I make them from scratch.

Dove is Galaxy??? Wow. It's all over the place out here I didn't realise. When I was back in the UK last May there was a big hoo hah (?sp.) about Galaxy who went "non-veggie" as they started using non-vegetarian whey which contained rennet. I have not touched Galaxy since. It affects other Mars products - Cadbury's were proud to say they were 100% vegetarian - as always!

It took me 7 years to realise it was the same.

Dove is a brand of hand cream. So is British chocolate.
