I was ignorant, now I'm not. Will is right.

I'm very much a British chocolate person. I know it isn't the proper stuff and I don't really care. I don't mind the proper stuff but not on it's own - has to be filled with something because it's too potent for me otherwise and even then I'm rather selective.

That said, I quite like creme eggs. Not my favourite, but OK. There's far worse out there for sure - need I mention Hershey's

Oh I agree Hershey's mings, hard. The yanks don't really know much about chocolate. That's one thing even Cadbury's have them trumped on.

I bought myself a bar of Hershey's last week in NYC just incase I'd been remember wrongly how foul the stuff is. Nope, it's awful.

There was a chippy in Peterborough that did deep fried Creme Eggs one easter. I think it was run by a Glaswegian.

Australia have fake Cadburys.

My mate asked me to bring a load over, it wasn't till I saw Cadbury's in the supermarket that she said they have a Cadbury's factory here, but they make it with oil or something :/ it tastes like the chocolate in advent calendars - cheap choc. Not good!

It's the same story in the US. Hershey make it under license but the texture is absolutely nothing like proper Cadbury. It's got that horribly powdery Hershey texture with a slight taste of Dairy Milk.

A while back when I was in the US I saw not only terrys chocolate oranges, but also chocolate raspberries. Interesting I thought, looked at the box, made in england. Worth a punt then.

Wrong. Utterly disgusting! Made to the US palatte I think
