To enjoy cheap chocolate?

[musthavebeenlove]

Just had a Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut chocolate bar 🍫- it was delicious!
I actually much prefer this cheap type of chocolate from the supermarket to ‘posh’ chocolate like Godiva, Leonidas etc.

AIBU for preferring the cheap chocolate and does it mean I have a horrible and cheap taste in chocolate?

Cross posts @Looubylou , exactly right - personal taste

@musthavebeenlove

It’s a bit of a tongue in cheek thread *@BelleBlueBell* 😊

You missed the obligatory lighthearted warning but my point still stands, how can the taste buds you're born with make you unreasonable?

Oops 😬

I was wondering that also, that’s why I made this thread 😂 because MM has strong opinions on many things and I have seen some absurd stuff here. Call it a bit of social experiment if you will . So far though it seems to go well !

Another chocolate pleb here. Nothing like a bag of Buttons, a Creme Egg or a Turkish Delight. I've had to stop going to Lidl though as I could not resist the white chocolate bars.

And I'm still bemoaning the demise of the Milky Way lime barrels

I've never heard of it. Googled it and you can only seem to buy it in Waitrose? I just googled Waitrose, and my nearest one is over an hour's drive away

YANBU... the 30p Lidl dark chocolate bar is fantastic.

I moved abroad 5 years ago and occasionally crave Cadbury's and the last time I had it, it was absolutely foul. Beyond all recognition of the flavour that I used to enjoy so I stick to local chocolate now. It's much nicer and not full of fucking palm oil.

Or get yourself a full tub!

My favourite is currently Morrison’s cheapest white chocolate - about 30p for 200g. IANBU so neither are you!

I think you might be able to order from Amazon !

@MadMadMadamMim I've seen it in sainsburys before

YABU I thought you meant proper cheap chocolate.

I love the Tesco value milk chocolate. Cheap and super sweet.

I've been dairy free for 12 months because of DS's severe allergy and I would do anything for a square of Cadburys Dairy Milk.
I've spent more on chocolate this last year than in my whole life trying to find a vegan chocolate I like. Still haven't found one but Rhythm 108 and Nomo are bearable (I'll scoff a few bars a week)

Thank you folks! I'll try Tonys.

Totally agree OP. Posh chocolate is wasted on me, I am more of a savoury person anyway. I hate 'just chocolate' apart from giant buttons. Aldi fruit and nut is amazing. And bounties.

Cadbury's has been ruined. Though I did polish off one of the DC's forgotten about Cadbury Easter Egg's and I was amazed as it tasted just like the old recipe, with that slightly tangy kick to it. The bars are grim but for some reason I still have one every night. Galaxy is vile, and the less said about American chocolate the better.

Also recently used a 100% cashback code on a £10 thing from Hotel Chocolate and was absolutely in love. It was the hazelnut chocolate sandwich thing. It's so expensive though! Starting from next month I'm going to get one of the subscriptions. I'll feel incredibly posh, but I've worked out if I get that and cut out all other chocolate I'd usually get from the shops it'll be about equal (usually a £1 bar a day, so a £30 subscription is fine).

Recently bought a bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk and it was the old kind from my youth. This is in Ireland, not sure if it has changed back or never changed.

Yes the Cadbury Easter eggs taste like the old Cadbury.

YANBU. I pretend to like the more expensive stuff, but much prefer Dairy Milk and the Lidl 30p bars. I really, really loathe those Lindt dark chocolate bars. Bleurgh.

I don't get the Cadbury's hate. Tastes the same to me as it ever did. Same as any chocolate. I think it's trendy to claim it isn't as good as it used to be and only more expensive ones are worth it.

I keep being given Lindt dark chocolate at birthdays and Christmases, often the sickly sweet flavoured ones too. I'd love Montezuma's but just give me 85% or higher of anything (though Lindt is my least favourite), I don't care if it's a supermarket brand.

DH and I tend to eat Tesco Finest 74% dark chocolate. It's only about £1 a bar and really lovely. Also love hotel chocolat. Don't often have Dairy Milk but do love the occasional Double Decker, Wispa, Crunchie or bag of giant buttons. Also into orange Twirls at the moment too.

Yes, I have read somewhere that Ireland uses the old recipe, the Cadbury's made in the UK and Poland are the ones using the new American recipe. I believe the eggs and a few other products are coming from Ireland. There is a way to tell where it's come from by looking at a code on the back.

OBO means Bounreville (UK), OWR is Wroclaw in Poland so those are two I avoid. Don't know about the rest of the codes. The buttons are Irish though I think because those along with the eggs taste like the old recipe.

I love cadbury and Milka.
The cheap fruit n nut bar from Lidl is lovely too!

I've never been very keen on hotel Chocolate or Thornton's

It's got nothing to do with cheapness. Aldi's chocolate is cheap but excellent because it's not full of palm oil and soy or whatever shit Cadbury put in theirs!
