I bought a bar of Dairy Milk this lunchtime to pass round the office, (yes, really) and someone said they prefer Galaxy.

Is she right? Or do I need to beat her senseless with a bar of Dairy Milk next time I pass by her desk?

Dairy Milk ALL the way! Galaxy is nice but Dairy Milk is the best of them all :D

Seeee the poll tells you the truth ;)

Bars or chocolate in general? I buy Dairy Milk bars and Galaxy Minstrels. :p

Yep, base your answer on that :D

Dairy Milk all the way!! though I wouldn't say no to galaxy if it was offered.

Burble

Galaxy is an acceptable substitute but if there's a choice then it'll be the dairy milk every time.

This thread makes me realise just how hungry I am!

What is this Galaxy of which you speak?

Pheebs
24-07-2008, 16:11
Galaxy can be quite sickening can't it? Soooo Dairy Milk.... I can eat more of it before having to break for five minutes ;D




But overall, in the grand scheme of things... Lindt :p

Dark chocolate > milk chocolate.

Will

neither - but if I had to choose Dairy Milk. It's too sickly and sweet for me, I'm more of a real chocolate fan myself.

edit: Starscream - agreed!

I prefer Dairy Milk but would pick a Galaxy Ripple over a standard bar of DM. Might be psychological, or because of the different texture, but I would.

Actually, Bournville all the way (or other cocoa-rich dark chocolate). :)

In which case how does a flake work? Would you still pick a ripple over a flake?

leowyatt
24-07-2008, 16:32
True, crumbly chocolate covered in a harder coating of chocolate is a good plan though flakes are still nommy. Plus you get to do the tipping the wrapper thing into your mouth when you've finished :D

Lomster

I want chocolate now. mmmmmm twirls.

Dark choc is just awful. It doesnt taste right, and it leaves a bitter aftertaste :(

I am with Kitten, I would rather go without!

Burble
24-07-2008, 16:42
I'm not keen on dark chocolate either unless I'm cooking with it. You really do need high cocoa solid chocolate to cook with. I did make chocolate mousse with milk chocolate once and it was awful.

Mind you, the last chocolate mousse I made was so rich that I could only eat a few spoonfuls of it.

Belmit
24-07-2008, 16:44

Yes, though I don't know why.

Some dark chocolate with a glass of bourbon is awesome.

See I think Galaxy tastes better, but I can only have it in small doses. An easter egg and something at Christmas and that's fine. Dairy Milk is a better every day bar.

Will

Dark Chocolate IS how chocolate is supposed to taste like! Chocolate is bitter naturally - it's onyl sweet when laced with lots of sugar by the likes of Nestle or Cadburys! :p

Heathens the lot of you :p

/me runs off with Roberta scoffing all the real chocolate and draining the vineyards of silky smooth wines...

Dairy milk - lovely and can eat loads
Galaxy - lovely but can't eat much in any one go
Green and Blacks - only discovered recently - small slice of heaven in chocolate form but again couldn't eat much in one go so not very good for good old fashioned comfort eating

Given the choice of Galaxy, Dairy Milk or nothing, I'd have nothing. I prefer dark chocolate or at least a 'milk' with a much higher cocoa solids content. As much as I love Hotel Chocolat I have to say I like this local stuff the best (http://www.mayachocolates.co.uk/PreOrder2.aspx).

LeperousDust

I hardly eat any chocolate at all, but i'd rather eat a bar of galaxy over dairy milk. Some nice dark chocolate over all of them though :p

Green and Blacks for me

Dairy milk is ok for making cakes with and Galaxy just mings :(

Chocolate is chocolate to me so just squidge it about in the same bowl together & then it's Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom.


Easter egg choccy is my fave choccy.

semi-pro waster
24-07-2008, 18:03
Of the two I'm much more likely to eat Galaxy, I just prefer the taste but overall I'd prefer dark chocolate normally or Milka if I can get it - I know there are better chocolate bars but the Milka with yoghurt filling is tasty.

Haly
24-07-2008, 18:19

What he said :D

For me: Hotel Chocolat > Lindt > Thorntons > Milka > Kinder > Galaxy > Dairy Milk

However I love Cadbury's Caramel and other Dairy Milk derivatives but not the Galaxy derivatives.

Don't mind dark chocolate but I prefer milk. I'm not really that fussed when it comes to chocolate though, I'll eat anything :p

Desmo
24-07-2008, 18:26

Well yeah...if we're chucking in our fave's, it's Lindt all the way. I'd almost prefer to eat Lindt than masturbate....but not quite.

Over the road? ;)

I voted for Dairy Milk over Galaxy as those were the only choices, not expecting this to turn into a major chocolate discussion, however because it has I feel that I should inject the fact that I prefer a good dark chocolate to either of the previously mentioned varieties.

Now then, a further interrogative question. Should the chocolate one consumes be kept refrigerated or scoffed at room temperature?

Daz

tbh. Unless you go to a chocolate shop, rather than a petrol station or something whereby Hotel Chocolat alcohol flavoured chocolate is ultimate win.

Depends on the chocolate. Slabs of solid chocolate can get tooth-shatteringly hard if left in the fridge, but filled chocolates are OK. Room temperature, especially in this sort of weather, leads to more ending up on your fingers which seems like a waste of perfectly good chocolate to me.

And chocolate should never be so cold it's stiff, room temperature ftw, so its gooey and melty and soft. Nom.
QFT :D
Except Mars Bars, they're better cold.

And the Hotel Chocolat End of Season thingys are great for the price :) My Mum surprised me with one and there was loads of chocolate for the price :D

Taxi for Huddy!

Although I prefer Galaxy I could quite easily not have chocolate ever again. The only choc I seriously like is Hotel Chocolat stuff and seeing as I only see a shop about once a year it's not a terrible addiction. Same with icecream, if I never eat icecream again I wont even notice.

Snuggle Ferret

galaxy is the far superior bar. though comments on sickliness are appreciated and taken on board i don't think i could eat more than a normal bar at a time.


dairy milk just tastes a bit too refined and doens't have the same awesome texture that the galaxy has.

I've never seen that Hotel Chocolat site before. I think my mouth just had an orgasm. A mellow fusion of creamy white and laid-back caramel chocolate studded with satisfyingly crunch hunks of chocolate and caramel cookies.

I have to agree I much prefer dark chocolate to any usual chocolate. It must be the caffeine or other stimulant. As it just hits the never so much better.

Just a quick shot. I didn't expect it to be HUGE! I ordered a gift pack for my parents which turned out to be smaller than I expected even though it was more expensive. But its huge! You can see my iPod Touch there and my laptop is 15.4''. So much for my diet. I was just checking the scales last night and saw I lost half a stone. Well there it is. Hotel Chocolat sent it back to me.
