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.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
