what's a chocolate snob?

[bekkio]

I love chocolate, but I'm really picky about the kind I'll eat.

[SilverSands]

have you ever tried a Galaxy bar? apparently it made by dove but only available in England and some import stores. The funny thing is when you compare it to the taste of a Dove bar its a completely different flavor. Dove has nothing on a galaxy Bar. I don't know if you have noticed, but chocolate in the US is more waxy than that of outside the US.

I'll have to try the Galaxy bars! I love British chocolate but don't really get ahold of any very often. I usually go for the stuff you can find at Trader Joe's - they have great dark chocolate. :)

[SilverSands]

Hey your not far from me. Once the weather cools down I could possibly mail you a bar. My local food store has a brittish import section.

THAT IS SOOOOOOOO AWESOME! galaxy bars are excellent, i completely agree with you...have you been to england? that's where im from, unfortunately i had to move for family reasons! i am so glad someone in the US appreciates the brilliant taste of british chocolate (the same is true for tea)

[bekkio]

Hi Silversands - Thanks for the kind offer! I could probably just head down to the import store about 5 miles away, and since the heat here shows no sign of stopping, I'd be afraid that any chocolate mail would end up being chocolate soup mail!

I tryed brit chocolate but real Swiss is the best by far.

Love how this has become the chocolate lovers forum.

Ignore, how ignorant I am about British chocolates, but would you mine telling me what sort of chocolate the galaxy bars have?

[David]

Pft. Galaxy has nothing on Cadbury's Dairy Milk. My own personal taste, of course. But Cadbury's is heaven for me.

Both are milk chocolate :)

[bekkio]

I stocked up on Dairy Milk while at Prophecy, but sadly, they only lasted 3 day after I returned home. I might actually have to make a trip to the store after all this chocolate talk.

[David]

Is Canadian Dairy Milk the same as the UK version though? I once heard it wasn't quite as good. I did try their caramel thing (caramilk? is that what it's called? I can't quite remember) and that wasn't as good as Cadbury's Caramel over here, but I think that might have been more the caramel recipe than the chocolate.

[bekkio]

I'm not sure actually, but they were absolutely wonderful! :D

YES! I am not the only person who bought way to much chocolate there. Mine didn't even last the whole trip home (to be fair, I had a flight canceled, and comfort food was needed).
