American Chocolate!

[Miri]

By the way, has anyone tried cacao, Made from unroasted cocoa beans.
It’s all the rage over in the UK and found in health food shops. It’s
rather nice and chocolaty but kind of lighter.

The description of cheesy vomit was correct then! Lol

Yeah, I'm afraid so. But I swear there ARE better chocolates made in the USA. H*rsh*y (that's a bad word y'know) just gets all the press.

American chocolate!

I work colleague who visited New York, brought some american chocolate back with her.
So on Friday I got to try US milk chocolate.

On my, how can I put it - well it tasted like cheesy vomit. 😳
It might actually be a good thing as I’m sure I would lose weight if I lived in america. Lol

Anyway i was looking up the difference between UK and American chocolate and
came across the link below. Apparently US chocolate is suppose to be more good
for you, which probably explains it.

After all everything good for you tastes bad doesn’t it. Ha ha
The dark chocolate was nice though, less bitter than over in the UK.

I just wondered if people knew chocolate tasted different, across the world.

Ha ha! Miri, I'm sure most American women are chocolate addicts. I have had chocolate from all over the world. I have to say, I love dark chocolate that is at least 60 percent caocao...however, Belgium chocolate is my favorite. I'm curious as to what kind of chocolate your friend bought...may have been cheap yucky stuff claiming to be chocolate!

Belgian is reputably the best
in NZ we have Whittakers. Famous for Peanut Slab. Cadbury dairy milk used to be good before they started using palm oil and cutting corners.

American chocolate, I would not even call that chocolate.

I'm somewhat partial to dark swiss chocolate. It's a contemplative, almost brooding chocolate.

Hey! All chocolate is good. What is wrong with a little cheesy baby vomit? Tried unroasted cacao once, didn't care much for it. Maybe if it was fixed differently. Dark chocolate is sooooo good!

Everything is made to be good for you in the states now meat is so pumped full of preservatives it loses its flavor you sacrifice flavor for health and preservation. Quite frankly I'd rather live a slightly shorter life and have good food...

I firmly believe in quality of life over just mere quantity of life.

Reese's is the best. There's no wrong way to eat a Reese's.

I agree with your estimation.

I am seriously considering making a cup of cocoa. No mini-marshmallows floating on top though. That's just wrong.

I remember a local ice cream shop got some American hershey chockolate bars and i was curious so i bought one..

Took one bite and .... I never took another bite..

I went back to the shop a month or so later and they no longer had it in stock..

Okay I'm gonna have to say this... I cringe whenever I hear people refer to "American chocolate." Why do people consider H*rsh*y to be the go-to representative of what American chocolate is? H*rsh*y is pure crap in a cellophane wrapper.

I know they make a whole lot of it real fast and flood the market with the stuff, but really... there is better American chocolate than that junk.
