My point is... we all have preferences.
Anywho every holiday that involves candy {which in my house is quite a few} she always orders a crap ton of English candy for us.
I don't really get it to be honest. It cost her an arm and a leg and quite frankly I'm cool with a $2.39 bag of peppermint patties, but my brother and sister like it so I guess I'm along for the ride.
Until.
This baby came along.
This is my picture for today. Yes I'm aware its a candy bar and the fact that I've not only put a picture up of it and now am devoting a whole post to it probably makes me a fat fat fatty fat as the wise Glenn Beck would say.But. Its quite wonderful.
Its a candy bar version of a cadbury egg. Chocolate on the outside yummy cadbury creme on the center. Have you ever heard of such a thing and why don't we have them here?!
{Is this our punishment for the whole revolution thing back in the day? If so lets try to work things out jolly ol' brits, no reason to be bitter.}
So here's my Jan 6 pic of the day.... right before I ate it.
Oh. My. Gosh. That sounds so incredibly yummy. And so NOT what I need to see when I'm trying to be good with me eating. LOL. Good thing I can't get any around here!
ReplyDeleteOOOOO!!! I want one!!! I love cadbury eggs (they are already in stores here and have been since at least Dec 31!!). Looks and sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteKnowing your love of the Cadbury egg, I am not surprised you devote an entire post to this. :-D
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with your Mom about the whole taste between British/European chocolate and American chocolate. I personally think their stuff tastes a lot creamier.
ReplyDeleteThat Twisted bar looks delish!
Oh my goodness, the English stuff is so much better! Eventhough they have Cadbury in the States, I swear English Cadbury is way better! One of my favorites is Roses, it's a box of individualy wrapped chocolates, and I'm obsessed! They only come out at Christmas, so every year I had my parents buy up boxes of them!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly enough, I think the coke in England tastes different than American coke. I like the American coke better. However, the mainland European coke in a can tastes much better than English coke.
Oh, and do you live by a World Market? They usually have a pretty decent selection of English Cadbury, although I have found some (Flake Bars) at our Commissary.
ReplyDeleteI'm with loquita... I am well aware of your love of Cadbury eggs, so this didn't surprise me at all! :) It sounds like a heavenly piece of candy and I'm glad they don't sell them here! :)
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see the Cadbury eggs at the store the other day. Ymmmmm. I had no idea a bar version existed. *trouble*
ReplyDeleteYou know I was surprised, the Norwegians have some darn good chocolate too. I had no idea there would be such differences in taste from country to country.
There are Canadian Cadbury chocolates that I prefer to American, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd goodness gracious but I crave German chocolates...any and all kinds.
You may have something though...didn't Kraft just perform a hostile takeover of Cadbury? You may just end up seeing some of those English chocolates here...though, of course, they'll be "Americanized" and lose all their goodness.
I think it's the preservatives we put in our stuff that changes the taste.
never seen them but I would LOVE to try it! Looks yummy... I love the eggs that come out at Easter!
ReplyDeleteOoooohhhh my goodness!! I need to see if I can procure these on the internet. I love me some cadbury eggs!
