I personally think you should pay to get Nit's folks to send you a massive pack of the Best of Cadburys in a cooler, just to see if you could could ever survive after eating such an awesome combination :wink: I know damn well alot of European choccy is better (having been around a few Choc factories whilst on the Continent) but dammit, it's always expensive compared to our Cadburys :) *goes to munch on a milk chocolate nut bar*
Gods, I could go for real Cadbury's, not the Hershey's-liscensed-stuff, right now.

The best I've ever had is El Rey, but I couldn't tell you the history of where the beans come from, how they're grown etc. I only know that there was cocoa butter in the chocolate because it wasn't the waxy stuff you get in cheap easter chocolate.

Now, for the sake of showing you what it looks like, I was forced to go purchase some 8) (due to the odd location of my college, the closest food is a block away--a tiny gourmet restaurant/wine shop, where I purchase this chocolate. There is no fast food within at least an hour's walking distance, maybe more.)

One is for my dad, though.

It's a very... earnest flavor. It tastes very natural, and the texture is most pleasing. The scent is fantastic. This particular one is ginger flavor.
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

It should be pointed out that Cadburys (like every mass produced chocolate) already is part vegetable fat part cocoa butter.

I fully agree that Belgian chocolate is the standard to which all others should be judged, and is a good way to wean yourself off regular chocolate consumption, because after it very little else is good enough.

Oooh, my favourite topic. Excuse me while I drool.

*Droooool*

Anyway, we have a company here in WA called Margaret River Chocolate Factory. Great stuff, and I've heard even European tourists go nuts for the stuff. (Note: the previous statement is an unsubstantiated rumour.)

I see this kind of stuff like a restaurant meal. Great to have, but you can still enjoy eating at home. Hence my saying: Cadbury - Breakfast of Champions.

In response to the OP, I like ALL chocolate, so this kind of legislation in Oz wouldn't bother me much. I'd still binge of the cheap shit and intersperse it with the good stuff.

Heh, yeah, I know a girl who says she doesn't like chocolate just because she can't stand anything less than the best.

And damn, that's a lot of chocolate. No wonder America is so fat if it eats that much chocolate; I top out at consuming that much chocolate in a week as opposed to two days.
