Surprised it didn't happen sooner. Americans don't do chocolate well. They should stick to going to the moon.
Hey! Do you Europeans not appreciate corn in your chocolate or something?!
You put a bit of corn in their bread and they legally declare it cake. Can’t win with them
Huh? Are you trying to take a swing at corn bread cuz homie, every southern matriarch would like a word. Don't shit on corn bread lol. But for real what is the connection between corn, chocolate and cake. I'll be the first to admit candy corn is candy from Satan's anus. The closest I can gather is carrot cake and that shit is just as good as corn bread if not better.
i’d say it’s because when you put HFCS in bread in a lot of countries it categorises the thing as cake as far as regulations are concerned
👆
No shit. Worked as a sous chef for years but somehow never made corn bread to know it even had HFCS in it much less how it was viewed in the global culinary community. Good shit, thanks for the knowledge.🍻
Sugar content
In Ireland Subway had to call their bread cake because of the amount of sugar in it
Here's a little explanation as to the differences with US chocolate.
The bit about Butyric Acid explains why US chocolate tastes literally like vomit; it's the component in vomit that gives it the distinctive taste and smell.
When Hershey's products came to the UK they initially had to be relabelled to reflect the extremely low cocoa content and be called "chocolate flavored candy bar".
Ironically, the article references Cadbury.
I'm not being snarky, I swear. But Cadbury eggs were/are super gross. Were those made in America for Americans and you get a different product?
Creme eggs have been around for 60-odd years. They're crazy sweet and not very high-quality – especially after the Kraft acquisition, as it's not even Cadbury's Dairy Milk any more.
What you get in the US are smaller and made over there by Hershey, so frankly they're probably as bad or worse, but you're not missing out on much.
Never saw the hype behind those.
I'll be real though: chocolate is expensive as fuck and not worth the money.
Huh? Some of the best chocolate is Ghirardelli which is American.
Maybe you just don’t understand American chocolate.
It's a Swiss-owned company originally founded by an Italian in... barely the US. Two years after California joined the union.
A kilo for forty bucks. Are you kidding me. That's way too cheap to be good cocoa, actually good chocolate costs 150-200 per kg.
milk fat, vanilla extract, natural flavor, soy lecithin.
...it gets worse and worse. You want to see none of those in good chocolate. But at least Lindt checks out as an owner they upcharge you for the gold paint on the packaging and also use cheap cocoa.
Go to Aldi. Buy Moser-Roth. Same quality, priced sensibly. Or treat yourself and buy something from Domori.
