s'all good, no disrespect...i'm just spoutin' off because you mentioned something that was cherry flavored....i personally have only had the original flavored kit kat...i didn't know they had other flavors available...i'm not a big candy eater...but i honestly i grew up on kit kats...when i was a little schmuck my moms used to pack a kit kat in my lunch almost everyday.

i still love chocolate but don't eat it as much...i have a friend who goes to europe a few times a year and he always brings back swiss chocolate that isn't exported to the u.s....it's so much better than the stuff we get here....it's amazing.

yeah, right on...there's some good chocolate, esp. the european one's you mention of, like Swiss chocolate
Toblerone, even though you can get it here, that stuff is good, but once in a very rare occasion, i might have some.

yeah toblerone is good....they put honey in the chocolate.

The Belgian makes some nice chocolate too.

oh yes, belgian chocolate is good....

hell i think almost every european chocolate is better than the stuff we get here....not that american chocolate all sux it's just not as refined and smooth tasting.

I think it's because they use cocoa butter instead of hydrogenated fats. It's more expensive, but it taste better.

oh i see...no wonder.....

I saw something on that on PBS once. There was a big war in early 20th century between Mars, Hershey and the Europeans.

They were saying that chocolate without cocoa butter shouldn't be name chocolate, but something else. Mars and Hershey won. :mrgreen:

they might have won war of the names but not the war on taste.

Yeah.... they said that cheaper was better. Trans fat can do wonderful things to the heart too.
