Kraft takeover of Cadbury

This place is going to the dogs Hal.

If you read the first post you can see that I use the Kraft takeover of Cadbury as an example of loss of cultural identity in the face of bland corporatisation. The remainder of the discussion is clearly on topic. Anything to add?

I wasn't complaining, just pointing out that the discussion had acquired a broader spectrum of late.

Dark chocolate goes well with stout.

It goes well with chilli too.

Please stay on topic.

I was trying to relate the Bourneville estate to the decline and subsequent revival of traditional British brewing.

Sheesh this is the Drawing Room after all dontchaknow.

Yes of course. In fact twas a simple mistake on my part - I meant to post on the "climate change" thread...the point being that one is able to grow chillis outside more readily in the UK.

But chillis and chocolate do go very well together...just ask any descendant of the Aztecs.

As for Cadbury's...I'm sorry, but I've never considered that stuff to be chocolate.

Well what do you expect from a company started by a Harvey Comics character?
