What is wrong with American chocolate?

[axi]

Perhaps American chololate is crap because the stocks of the chocolate firms are held in part by American breweries...

How about American cheese?

White chocolate is laughable in concept, but quite tasty anyway

I personally like nougatine and marzipan chocolates. I hate chocolate with raisins, fruit or licqoir in it.

Black bitter chocolate is really cool, for those special moments, when you need nothing but the real thing.

Aussie chocolate is generally of good quality. But then, it is almost all imported from Europe.

Many belgian chocolate compagnies have been bought by the swiss, must be some kind of conspiracy..

Exactly Nothing beats a finely made extra dark plain chocolate.

Hershey's is for the desperate who can't get anything else.

Scharffenberger is American bourgeoise imperialist snob chocolate, and it whoops ass on just about everything else out there, anywhere in the world.

Dagoba is another "microchocolate" that's excellent, (organically grown beans too, and they specialize in getting cacao from different areas of the world, where there are subtlely different tastes. I don't know if it's a US company, or just marketed here.

I don't do Sees, my tastes for chocolate candies runs to Godiva.

Belgian dark chocolate is clearly the best, or maybe those seashells.

Last time I went to Belgium I bought a kilo of chocolate on the first day I was there.

Typos? Wasn't he the greek god of dyslexia?

A few years ago Whitman's introduced their chocolates to Australia, and they were creamy. However, after a couple of tastes i realised that it was actually crap! I don't profess Aussie chocolate to be that great, but Yank chocky (like all other foods) makes ours taste like heaven in your mouth!

Someone told me that ours was poor due to our hot climate (which makes sense), but the yanks have no excuse!!! We get Lindor balls imported here, and they are good Appararently, though, it's not the good stuff from Europe!

Chocolate. Mmmmm........

Hershey's is literally "the sh!t". Avoid it at all costs. Beyond that there are a lot of imports and mediocre mass-produced stuff, and quite a few small producers whose chocolate can be very good. We export our worst stuff it seems. I heard somewhere that the chocolate bar was invented in the U.S. for army rations. Does anyone know if that's true? If so, it explains the rough and ready nature of the Hershey bar. The desperate will eat anything.
