this has been a staple question of mine in the oft used "which do you prefer" poll, choglut or cheez

the results are absolutely astonishing.

god that was a dull post.... :cry:

Hey, I'm not surprised the sales of Green and Black's taking over from regular milk chocolate sales - it's really nice (espescially with Almonds or Raisin/Hazelnuts).

I can't stand regular Cadburies or Galaxy that much any more - though I'm not quite on to the really dark stuff yet.

Good new for me definately - Kinder Buenos & the odd bar of Green and Black's for a regular staple of my diet (along with bread and Latte which is pretty much it!). :twisted:

Im with K on this - Green & Blacks is excellent chocolate. :D

Reminds me I need to buy some more... :lol: :P

Interesting, shame I don't like dark chocolate.

With most things in life I prefer "premier" products, however with chocolate and coffee I prefer run of the mill stuff. I love Cadburys chocolate but I can't stand Green and Blacks (mainly for the reason stated above). And with coffee I'd much rather have Nescafe (made with coffee mate) than proper filter stuff. I'm rather partial to Mellow Birsds as well :lol:

Considering the number of smilies you've used today, would buying more chocolate be wise? :lol: :wink:

Did you know that the EU tried to ban all UK manufactureres chocolate a while back? Their point being that there was so little cocoa in there that its should be called "chococlate floavoured" as most of it is sugar and flavourings. Just before the vote, its said, a delagation from Mars and Rowntree passed samples around and asked the comitee to reconsider.
You can guess what happened. :roll:

Is me buying any chocolate wise? :wink: :P :lol: :lol:

Never have understood the obsession with chocolate.

Oh well.

i'm not a fan of dark chocolate either, i eat far too much white and dairy crap.

has anyone got a recommendation of a easy going dark chocolate that i can start on so i can ween myself off the rubbish?

Try Belgian chocolates, in fact any non-UK European make of chocolate as these dont have so much sugar in and more cocoa in.

After that I would recommend the green and blacks. Though the 70% cocoa one probably wont grab your taste buds immediately but it is actually pretty yummy when you adapt to the bittersweet taste. And its about the only chocolate allowed on a low GI diet too [according to my books] so it must be healthy stuff :wink: :D

[jenni]

will give it a go then!

my dad bought me some of this stuff (http://www.seventypercent.com/chocop/bar_detail.asp?ID=116) as he lives in Grenada, but i don't want to crack it open until I can appreciate it properly

Yup, Green and Black's Milk chocolate is your best starting point - though I've only just tried their 'Maya Gold' - oh man that was nice to just let melt in your mouth. It's really dark chocolate but not bitter at all as it's also got orange and spices in it. It's like the mulled wine of chocolate.
Even so I can only manage about four bits - not bars before I get misquoted - I love the stuff but just don't eat much of it. :smt102

Just a post that might make all you girlies happy.

Noticed last night on the side of the 4pint of milk we have, that Tesco seem to be doing an offer. There was a little token printed on the milk label for 50p off Green & Blacks.

Not sure on the exact details, like specific products or length of offer, but it was definately there.

Nope its not no way, wouldnt allow you to ride and eat choc:)

[Jabba]

Hmmm...... does this mean that Milky Bars are actually good for me? :confused:

With most things in life I prefer "premier" products........

So you'll be getting a Honda this spring, yes? ;)

Dark chcolate is miniging. AS for Green and blacks...ew. Its got a funny after taste. Cote d'or, milka, or good old Dairy milk for me.
