Cadbury's Dairy Milk

[Mags 112]

Okay. Does anyone here know of a good, online store that sells British chocolate? I am sick to death of Hershey's. It tastes, quite frankly, like it was deposited on the floor by a camel.

Even the Cadbury's sold over here in supermarkets is made by Hershey's, it just isn't the same.

Any help, suggestions and information would be greeted with eternal gratitude from moi. I'll even give ya a hug and kiss, though it'd be of the non sexual kind of course!

Sadly the best we can find to replace good chocolate, is the lindt white chocolate, and dove chocolates. Wal-Mart (if you can stand the place) carries their own brand of belgian chocolate bars that Tim claims are very good. Meijer typically has galaxy bars, and Fresh Market has Guylian chocolates. Just some ideas for you.

As the USC I agree Hersheys taste like yuck and smell like vomit!

Would the CANUCK version work?

Canadian Favourites Chocolates

(FYI, it does NOT taste like it was made by Cursey's; if not satisfied, you can always buy Nielsen products instead).

Thank you. I've never tried the Canadian equivalent. May give it a go!

Hey Mags! Do you have Paypal? If you do, find a buddy who does as well, transfer some cash over and have someone send you some....or is it more that you want it NOW or sooner??? hehehehe. I guess that was a bit daft as I'm sure you have people in England who could send you some if you wanted to wait that long! Hope you go on your road trip tomorrow!!! M.

http://shop.ghirardelli.com/?gclid=CPjk7KC...CFTzqJAodj2jamA try that for fine American chocolate.

As America's longest continuously operating chocolate manufacturer, Ghirardelli has established its position as America's premium chocolate company for more than 150 years.

We are one of very few American manufacturers that make chocolate starting from the cocoa bean through to finished products. Throughout the process, we take special steps to ensure that our premium chocolate delivers our signature intense, smooth-melting chocolate taste.

• Intensive quality assurance in the selection of cocoa beans means that Ghirardelli accepts only the highest-quality beans. We reject as many as 40% of the beans that are offered to us. Beans that are not selected are sold to other manufacturers.
  
• In all of its chocolate product, Ghirardelli uses a proprietary blend of cocoa beans that has been refined over the company's 150-year history to provide the company's distinct and intense chocolate taste.
  
• Ghirardelli roasts the cocoa beans in-house to ensure the company's signature flavor profile is consistently maintained in all chocolate products. We also use a different roasting process whereby we remove the shell first and then roast the small nibs inside. Because the nibs are fairly uniform in size, we have more control over the temperature and time, so we can get a more specific flavor. Other companies roast their beans before removing the shell, which requires over-roasting the outside portion of the bean in order to roast the inside. This could impart a burned flavor to their chocolate.
  
• Finally, Ghirardelli uses an intensive refining process to ensure that its chocolate truly melts in your mouth! Ghirardelli has no grainy feel because we refine most of our chocolate flakes until they are 19 microns (human hair is 100 microns in diameter). Other mass market chocolates are refined to only 40 microns.

Worldmarket does the trick for me- they have a great selection of European chocolates.

I normally try World Market. Luckily, the Kroger at the end of the road has been revamped and is slowly starting English foods. So far, we only have Bounty in the choc section.

There's a guy in the next town over from us who has a store that mainly does online ordering, but has the store as well. I popped in there with plans to buy TONS of stuff and enjoy future visits. Unfortunately, he was rude and didn't even want to make conversation. So, I left and he's lost out on alot of $$$!

We have a Kroger near us and, as of yet, nothing. No Bountys, no English stuff....nothing.

I'll believe that about Nielsen's, but not about Cursey's!
