American Chocolate!

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.

Americans don't have good chocolate. Germany has good chocolate

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

According to the link, it has added extra strangeness too. Lol

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...

Miri, what chocolate did you have? As in the name brand? Lol

I think it was Hershey, a bag of mixed chocolates, milk, dark, peanut

You poor thing! Get thee some Callebaut and make amends to your taste buds.

LMBO @ "cheesy vomit". Just about peed my pants laughing at that one.. You are hilarious, Miri.

Being this is a "chocolate thread ", I'm sure Lynx will have something interesting to say!

You’ve tried it too! Lol

I will bare that in mind when I win the lottery.

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.

Which is to say, Hershey has a "reputation".

A reputable brand with nasty stuff they call chocolate

Oh I’ve found a receipe for making your own chocolate.
I’m sure most of the ingredients can be found in moisturisers and
shower gels. Ha ha
