Chocolate

Lindt dark choc with whole hazelnuts is my favourite , allow myself one square each evening, but it difficult to find none in tesco so have to make special trip to waitrose,

Was just doing some research before placing grocery order and look what I found

I will share. Really.

No Terry's chocolate orange made in York anymore, Marty. I think they are made in Poland, which is where York Fruits are now made!

Terry's chocolate made in POLAND! Well for goodness sake.

Thanks for the tip jingl (Hotel Chocolate SALE) I very rarely eat chocolate but simply can't resist their Champagne Truffles. They are just orgasmic delicious. I was delighted that they are half price in the sale. [yippee]

Good. (and, perhaps, sorry. )

At a tangent- the history of chocolate is fascinating- especially the links with the temperance movement and Quakers. One of our neighbours was one of the Cadburys- very interesting and simple, down to earth woman, and a Quaker. Suchard here in Switzerland was also linked to the temperance movement, and that wonderful breed of 'paternalistic' employers, who believed it was their duty to provide employment, and also housing with gardens to grow food, medical services and education.

Of course now all this has gone, and profits is the only reason left.

Same with Rowntrees and Terry's of York, until they sold out to Nestle and Kraft, granjura. However, Rowntrees still has the Rowntree Foundation and the Quaker School at Bootham in York. The village is not owned by Rowntrees any more since they were compelled to sell off housing, but they do shared ownership still.

Granjura, is Nestle's chocolate the same in Switzerland as it is in this country?

Same recipe I think- but somehow it tastes different, must be the mountain milk

As said, I never do eat mild chocolate these days and stick to Lindt 75%, with or without sea salt.
