The one with hazelnuts is my favourite. But who am I kidding, as long as there is chocolate I will eat it.
They make these GREAT chocolates on Mayne Island (little island off the southern coast of B.C.) They are
hand made and they are amazing. I have a friend who lives there and she doesn't even have to ask what
to bring when she visits; she knows already. One kind I will not eat is Lindor; don't like it and as my
one of my daughters used to say when she was little 'it gets in my mouth'.

If that person tried a British Dairy Milk from within the last 20 years, they still haven't tried a true British Dairy Milk. EU regs changed a lot, and the mysterious change of recipe post-Kraft sale rendered it virtually unrecognizable again (to the point where I don't like it anymore and would rather have a Galaxy).
Short of hopping in a time machine and going back to the late-80s/early-90s (actually, iirc it would have to be pre-1992), no one will ever know what we Brits used to take for granted. It used to be one of the more expensive bars (or so memory says), but each chunk was a perfect little piece of choc heaven.

I agree. Cadbury was outstanding. Received a gift box of all Cadbury products from my cousin in England for Christmas. The change
was remarkable. Had not had the British Cadbury for several years and there was definitely a difference.

According to the post office when I sent some chocolate to our friends here in SKMB, the office does a lot of sending of Cadbury and other bars to the USA. They prefer the Canadian because we have not changed it to make it better for our health lol. I mean, if you wanna eat some chocolate why worry about health. Do so in moderation for pity's sake!

If I'd been drinking a cup of tea when I read that, I would have spat it all over the place. Llindt is my favourite chocolate by an absolute country mile. It's so milky and sweet.

I was born in 81 so I remember the good stuff. I always preferred dairy milk to anything as a kid but I can't really remember it being worse in the mid 90s.

I don't hate it now, far from it, I still enjoy cadbury chocolate, but I would now prefer galaxy and Llindt to it.

Is it just me or did chocolate taste better in the days before companies started wrapping it in foil paper?
