Food, Drink & Dining Out American chocolate

[Thrawn]

Ever had a taste of this before?

I went to a shop selling a pretty big American and UK confectionery a few years back, thought what harm would it be to try an original Hershey's milk chocolate bar. Oh god... I can still the remember the taste of this vile stuff. It tasted like literal vomit, it had a very waxy consistency and it even smelt a little bit like it too. These poor sods need to be introduced to Cadbury, ASAP (even though that's still not top tier).

Hershey's is pretty good, so is Reese's.

It's the butyric acid, pretty sure. Definitely wasn't over the expiry date and it looked fresh enough.

Those Reese’s peanut butter cups look super even though I’ve never had one

Hershey’s is fine. The cookies and cream is pretty good. Their kisses brand tastes pretty much the same as Cadbury (which is also available everywhere in the US).

I prefer their Mars chocolate over Nestle. M&M’s > Smarties

I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Reese’s are made by Hershey’s.

Ha e you seen the study's in the conditions of workers where cacao is grown. Slavery

Or the gm products basically rife in any American food

Either way it makes you sick.

Double entendre ftw

[Doss]

Reece's peanut butter cups are amazing.

 

[Gralin]

My wife loves herself some Reece's peanut butter cups.

They aren't really my thing

GM doesn't make you sick. Not getting immunised might though.

Haigh's is raved about in S.A.
It's OK but very expensive. Like 10 bucks for a bag of chocolate liquorice bullets.

Probably, can't remember the name but first day in the states I bought a loaf to make sandwiches and it was sickly sweet.

Yeah, they add extra sugar to most things. I’ve worked in the food industry for a bit. Canadian manufacturers often have to change recipes for the US market.

I'm going back to the US next week....bringing a box of Tim tams, Cadbury and other Aussie choc stuff.

They love it more than US stuff...and rightly so

Yeah I hated it. Tried making a sandwich and it was terrible.
I ended up getting English muffins, which are awesome there

 

[Catfish Alley]

Lots of good bread available too. Just got to know what to go for.

Save some space in your luggage. You can get all of that stuff there. Maybe some different Aussie flavours though.

Where my family is from, the supermarket selection is minimal.

I gotta find a bakery
