But yeah, ingredients vary in everything even across europe, and a lot of recipes are changing. When my dad's cousin visits, she always used to take home about 12 cans of Tizer, a soft drink we get here, but they've totally changed the recipe to 'natural' ingredients & the taste has been decimated into rancidness. She'll be gutted. That's 3 great soda drinks that are lost to the ages now

Oh yes, I know very well the difference in 'ingredients' or however you want to put it. All the chocolate I ate in England tasted shite, compared to the same brands over here.

Belgium on the other hand

There's a fair chance I ate quite a bit of Dutch chocolate while I was there.

The chances of me remembering it, however, are slim :/

I'm just more comfortable with the thought of "Hi I am Ing-ga" frolicking through a chocolate factory stamping beans with her clogs and pigtails bouncing... than in England where I just know some humongous, hairy, unwashed chav is doing to chocolate to what dogs do to each others bottoms

They're total bastards about it too.

You walk around everywhere, and you pass millions of bakeries, with all these amazing looking cakes in the front windows. The very well lit "OMG LOOK AT ME!" front windows. Then you walk inside, and it's even worse, and they look at you all What kind of cake would you like?

Well what do you expect?

About the only slightly more successful venture would be selling cut rate vodka to a bunch of Ivan's by the bucket.

Is it a plane???

yeah, belgian & swiss is pretty much the best in Europe We get a few of their products here, which are close enough to be nice, but sometimes a little bit too rich, obviously growing up on stuff with not so much a cocoa content, it's a weird (and often bitter) taste. Funny thing now, a lot of takeaways for example are buying in cheaper european alternatives. We often get polish, german or czech coke, 7up etc in those establishments. Supermarkets too are selling that kinda stuff too, I bought some chocolate similar to an 'aero' bar from I think poland or the ukraine brand & it was ok but not like "omg i must have more of this" good
