Outside of Cadbury's I'd have to go Toblerone.

I used to take large Fruit and Nut/Nut only Bars, also Crunchies and packs of Curly Whirlies. I would take Fry's Chocolate Creams now, plus some of the Green and Black's different flavours. The chocolate from Lidl and Aldi is worth picking up, but obviously not British.

It's funny that Fry's seemed to disappear for years. Used to get them as a treat when I was a kid, then didn't see them for a couple of decades before they started appearing again a couple of years ago.

Talking of Fry's anyone old enough to remember 'five boys' chocolate bar with the almost ghoulish looking pictures on them? Think Fry's was bought out by Cadbury and consequently is now part of Mondelez. Still love a Fry's Turkish Delight and a Peppermint Creme bar.

>>you can take your 85% cocoa single estate nonsense and shove somewhere REALLY dark!


There's a wide range of chocolate between Cadbury's and the 85% single estate stuff. I prefer Swiss milk chocolate - Callier makes fabulous cheap chocolate but I am partial to a bar of dairy milk every now and then. There an interesting history of British chocolate on the Cadbury's website: https://www.cadbury.co.uk/the-story

It may have been a 'limited edition', I know they did that for Kit Kat for a while...

"But it wasn't until Bristol company Fry & Son made a 'chocolate delicieux a manger' in 1847 that the first bar of chocolate appeared, as we know it today. The first ever chocolate bar was made from a mixture of cocoa powder and sugar with a little of the melted cocoa butter that had been extracted from the beans."

We as a nation discovered the chocolate bar! And now that company has been eaten up twice and is under the ownership of a multinational. How sad.

I used to babysit for an american family when I was (a lot) younger and Crunchies were the most requested chocolate bar. I used to think their 'candy' was more exciting but I guess it was just because it was different (at the time). You can pretty much buy it all over here now anyway so it has lost its charm..and not sure I'd like the taste. My american cousins would go mad for Frys Chocolate Cream.


Louisa are you sure you didn't pick up those tiny packs of Flakes that are used for 99s (ice creams)?

...and Bounty.


Liked the short-lived Aztec as a kidlet and the weirdly glamorous Milk Tray bar - luxury. Unless you accidentally nicked the corner of the lime barrel, spilt it down your cubs uniform and made your woggle sticky.

I hate Dairy Milk. It doesn't taste of anything, just really sweet and has the texture of cheese. Horrible. That said, I do like a Crunchie and shameful as it is to admit, I always liked Caramac. My favourite old school bar though is the Fry's chocolate creme by a country mile. Oh, and Topics - love a Topic.

What type of cheese to you buy? I will try to avoid it!

Oh yeah, of course I'm aware of that. I know Cadbury's is pretty low down on the "quality" scale, but nevertheless it always hits the spot for me, especially Whole Nut. The same way that fish finger sandwich with cheese and a fried egg is not a gourmet meal... but few things hit the spot in quite the same way.

I think the Red wrapper = the old Peanut Yorkie - long discontinued (there was a limited edition recently but it wasn't the same). Don't think it was dark chocolate though.


Edited to add - this is the one I mean: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/296745062924064984/

I'm an orange creme kinda guy. But remember as a kid they did a fruit creme version where each section had a different flavour. Don't think they make that these days, I've only seen mint or orange.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government

      In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.

      Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.

      “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
