Good News for Chocolate Lovers

I know that correlation is not proof of causation but maybe I shall have to reconsider my self-imposed ban on chocolate:

I passionately love chocolate! Sad to say and I don't mean to be funny, American chocolate is not very nice! I think it's made differently.

It definately is different. Best chocolate in the world is British white. I would KILL to be able to get that here.

Yeah, it's different.
The good chocolate from Aldi has a different effect on me than the US stuff.

I hear even Cadburry tastes better in the Motherland!

(but according to the theory, Germans ought to kick butt and Switzerland as well, should be beating Sweden by miles!)

Aldi and Lidl here are known as really cheapy shops, is it the same anywhere else? Though they do sell a lot of German food which suits a good many Army wives who are German, everyone likes a taste of home.

Not a very compelling study--but why risk it? Chocolate milkshake for lunch it is!

I am not all that passionate, but I have a soft spot for dilletante chocolates, a local seattle company. They used to make the chocolate across the street from my high school, and I'd routinely buy the truffles that weren't pretty for almost nothing.

cheap? Yes, but (mostly) not lower quality.
The chocolate is well worth the trouble finding a store. (and their beer is not half bad either)

Hmm...no kidding? The first Aldi in NH opened a few months ago. May have to go on a road trip!

bring your own shopping bags and a quarter for the buggy (but you get that back)

So I heard. My corporate HQ (in another state) is actually across the street from one. I didn't know it was a European chain when I was there on site, I just knew it as this "odd sort of grocery where they don't give you bags and hassle you to use a cart" or something like that. :lol: Next time I'm down there I'll check it out, but I think I'll have to go to the NH one first.

And once again, this explains why women are just a cut ahead of us men in mental capacity. Valentines day and the such, we guys, are always indulging them with chocolate goodies. Finally, the truth be told.

This may be man cave stuff, might need to bring this topic up. "All in fun of course"
