Principled Man Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 As a result of a settlement with the Hershey’s Company, Let’s Buy British Imports, or L.B.B., agreed this week to stop importing all Cadbury’s chocolate made overseas. The company also agreed to halt imports on KitKat bars made in Britain; Toffee Crisps, which, because of their orange packaging, and yellow-lined brown script, too closely resemble Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups; Yorkie chocolate bars, which infringe on the York peppermint patty; and Maltesers. http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/b4/27/ff/b427ffc0a142c58e92f4da8b2eff0a20.jpg http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/24/nyregion/after-a-deal-british-chocolates-wont-cross-the-pond.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Kraft ruined Cadbury as far as anyone in the states is concerned. I suppose we'll still be able to get those vomitous creme egg things. Whoop-de-freakin'-do. :sarcastic: Hershey's chocolate tastes like sour milk, and it's crumbly and waxy.

Losing Cadbury is not a big loss. Lots of other way-better chocolate to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Their Bourneville (red labeled ) dark chocolate was the worst! Tasted like they removed some of the cocoa butter and replaced it with rancid fish & chip fat. NASTY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'd say Perugina, but they were purchased by Nestle, so who knows what will happen there. Baci's are still good so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I'd say Perugina, but they were purchased by Nestle, so who knows what will happen there. Baci's are still good so far...The old commerical jingle went " N-E-S-T-L E-S, Nestle's makes the very best...chocolate." But what most people don't know is that Nestle's makes some 20 or so chocolate formulations, and most are only available wholesale to the food or candymaking trade. If you go into a better candy store, and they sell plain milk or dark chocolate, what you may be getting is a broken piece of the chocolate they use for coating, or "enrobing" their candies. Broken pieces because it is sold to the candymaker as a "trade bar" which is a 10 lb or 5 kilo slab of chocolate. In Nestle's case the top end is "'Peter's Superlative", named after Daniel Peter, Henri Nestle's partner. In both milk and dark varieties it is very rich. Whole Foods (at least the stores here in FL) Sell milk and chocolate by breaking up trade bars, primarily Callebaut from Belgium and El Rey from Venezuela. The El Rey dark is a deep, intensely flavored chocolate, great stuff. Edited February 3, 2015 by pjbear05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
