    British is best

    Let's see -
    Rowntrees is now Swiss owned
    Cadbury are now US owned
    Mars are from the US anyway

    There's always Thornton's I suppose

    Cadburys from the UK is great. In the middle east and hot asian countries they put wax in I believe which makes the cadburys taste foul. Hersheys is yuck!

    Has anyone of you tried Royce chocolates, originally from Japan, but they have branches in Singapore and now here in Manila (Greenbelt 5 and Rockwell)??? For me it's the BEST!

    I like Belgian too. Bought boxes from the chocolate shops in Bruges before and it's so nice! Those shop windows full of the chocolates are so tempting!

    I am so sorry to burst your bubbles but you are all grappling in the dark as far as chocolate is concerned...

    The best chocolate that you ever have the pleasure to sample is from 3 distinct countries....

    Switzerland...

    Austria...

    Italy.....

    They are all different but they are all perfect...

    Belgian chocolate is the best! But Swiss and Austrian chocolate is also pretty good. I also like our chocolate here in the UK. Thornton's mis-shapes are lovely... and cheap!

    I've always liked Droste from Holland, have memories from a very early age of my Dad bringing it back home from business trips. Bought some over there last month.

    I've also been conditioned to believe that it's apparently Belgian chocolates that are the bestest.

    Is there such a word as bestest? If one is better will that be the bestestest?

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.

    , Both Belgian & Swiss chocolate are famed the world over - and rightly-so - but, for ME, at least, none can compete with the good, old fashioned 'CDM award' ... back in the days when Cadbury Dairy Milk truly WAS a British icon!

    I'm with you Arthur on that one.

    As for Tims pics, it dosen't do it for me ...Where do you start if you go in a shop like that?...You just get confused into spending a lot of money?

    Thorntons had a bad Easter, I heard on the radio.

    Does this mean the firm ended up with "*egg on its face" ... in terms of [financial] embarrassment? Or ...

    Looks like someone's got either a very sweet tooth or a chocolate fetish

    ... ... could it be their belated discovery that selling chocolate is not as "easy as toffee?

    The bigger the box, the bigger a selection you get and maybe more than 1 of each when you get the biggest! I bet they are so much more expensive now over 4 years later and with the £ crashing against the Euro!
