Dark chocolate or milk chocolate? - Page 2

When I am in a chocolaty mood it makes me wish I was back living in York where many of the neighbours worked for Rowntrees or Terrys and kept us supplied with lots from the factory shop. Both fresh and very cheap.

Errrr.You forgot the I don't care what it is as long as it's CHOCOLATE option.

Milk chocolate definately !!!
It has to be real chocolate though and not be full of cocoa powder.

The worst chocolate I've ever eaten was from Whoolworths and was a bar of their value range !!! Disgusting !!!

I used to love the Galaxy Fruit and Nut for its meltingness over Cadbury's hardness equivilant.

All in all, Chocolate is very nice.

Which makes me think of chocolate Brownies... must make some soon.

Rowntrees has a ring main which carries molten chocolate around the site - literally 'on tap'.

I voted for dark, which I prefer, milk is ok - and white is just disgusting

Milk chocolate for me - although anything at a push!
This site is pretty good

and I've just joined the Chocolate Tasting Club at www.chocs.com - I can recommend it!!

Cos most of the 'chocolate' sold in this country is nasty vegetable fat with a bit of cocoa butter added.

You need to try some real chocolate - 70% cocoa at absolute minimum; 85% if possible. If you've got a posh Waitrose nearby they sell some fabulous imported choc - you'll never look at a Twirl again

Whose silly idea was it to do a thread on this.

Bang goes my diet.

Would normally go for milk, but dark is nice for a change.

How come if so many seem to prefer dark, (based on the curent poll results)the leading brands are milk
