Looking at the packaging for my Easter Cadbury Robins Eggs, it seems Hershey makes Cadbury in North America. Can that be right?IP: Logged |

Yes, we buy it every once in a while here in the States hoping they've finally adopted the UK recipe, but it just isn't the same. If you stop in the some of the UK import stores in major cities here they get the British Cadbury bars along with good pickle relish for cheese and pickle sandwiches, McVites biscuits and Marmite - I still haven't figued out what to do with that.IP: Logged |

According to the EU norms, the UK does not produce chocolate bars, because there is not enough chocolate in them. The EU norm suggests that UK chocolate bars should be classed as "vegetable bars". Any similarity between what is produced in the States and chocolate, is the name printed on the wrapper. Swiss chocolate blows the wax out of your ears.IP: Logged |

It depends which UK chocolate manufacturer your talking about Oldun - Cadbury is not the only one. And if you think, US cadbury's is bad, you should try the rubbish they churn out in South Africa.IP: Logged |

I believe they have a cheaper version which is exported to North America.Last year I was speaking to an executive at a chocolate company and he gave me a list of products which are inferior.IP: Logged |

"According to the EU norms, the UK does not produce chocolate bars, because there is not enough chocolate in them."Tha's the trouble with the EU. Pokes it nose in where it's not required. UK chocolate seems popular enough with all our visitors especially those from EU countries, funnily enough! IP: Logged |

Couldn't agree more about the EU. It's a game for politicians and bureaucrats, nothing to do with the European peoples; who want to maintain their own lives and cultures just as much as the inhabitants of the Sceptred Isles.By the way Norman, my Mum brought me up on Marmite soldiers, egg dippers, pie an� mash, and jammy dodgers. It fed a nation during the 40's.

So we have CHOCOLATE and we have CDM - and then we have little johnny foreigners stuff! Hard, brittle, sharp, cocoa strength A+ that gets the back of your throat. VOTE CDM any day - bring back the AZTEC bar for good and BAR 6 !IP: Logged |

I guess Cadburys Dairy Milk (CDM).The other issue I would suspect would be the water and/or milk taste. Take London Guiness to Irish Guiness - the water comes from different rivers and therefore has different mineral contents and therefore taste. Therefore water in each may be different and this may have knock on effect on milk taste. Plus cow breed may effect milk taste. FootSore IP: Logged |
