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.

As an American, I much prefer imported chocolate or dark chocolate. Milk chocolate has way too much sugar.

European chocolate tends to be very gooey, creamy, and rich.
It’s good but you need a good cuppa tea to wash it down.

UK milk chocolate doesn’t have as much coco solids as European I think.
But it’s still good.

I don’t like UK white chocolate, that’s too sweet for me.

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...

Wow, your cheesy vomit would be quite the hit! Hersey is a reputable brand.

Hershey is a crappy brand and it gives "American made" a really bad name, almost as bad as American "cheese."

OP: on behalf the USA I apologize for that so-called chocolate you endured. Vomit is a good description, as they put a chemical in it that has associations with vomit. Allegedly it is to extend shelf-life.

Please be aware that there are other chocolates made in the United States that do not taste anything like that. If you can get shipping to the UK I recommend Lake Champlain Chocolates. This is also a good time of year to order, as you will not have to pay extra for ice packs you would need for shipping in summer. Russell Stover is also decent.
