I was going to offer Terry's Chocolate Orange in defence of British chocolate, but I find it's now made in ''Poland'' by (oh, gods) [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1245562/How-long-Cadburys-chocolate-Polish-factory.html Kraft!]. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 19:20, 4 January 2013 (PST) | |||

Although, to be fair, Cadburys Dairy Milk is a damn' fine chocolate whatever anyone says. It's the best of British, and a shedload better than anything I've ever eaten in India, South-East Asia, South America, North America come to that, East Africa... Maybe I'm biased, but I like it. So yes, yah boo sucks to those Quirmian nonces. --Knmatt 18:48, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Never been to Belgium? --Iron Hippo 18:50, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oh aye, lad, I've been to every Western European capital (barring the Scandinavian countries - I can't afford them). Belgian chocolate I find too milky - but that's a personal taste. I have no qualms in saying that "posh" chocolate - Green and Blacks and so on, 70+% cocoa &c - are better than Cadburys, nor that there are far better-tasting chocolates out there. But as a bog-standard bar for under half a pound, you can't beat Dairy Milk. Especially now they do it in Apricot Crumble, Added Biscuit Bits and Cranberry flavours... --Knmatt 21:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
And Hersheys are buying Cadburys? Look for a terminal quality decline, then!--AgProv 20:45, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- I know, I know. It may be hari kiri time... --Knmatt 21:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
And, irony of ironies, the situation in late 2009 and early 2010 is that Hersheys (USA) wishes to mount an opposed takeover of Cadburys' Chocolate (UK). Given the cheap and nasty taste of Hersheys, what sort of monster might result from the merger?
Probably not a very ferocious monster since Cadbury had been part of Schweppes for forty years, and the chocolate never turned fizzy. A fact that the sensationalist British press chose to forget for some reason.
