Dubai Chocolate

Dubai Chocolate….
Ridiculously over-rated?

I'm more of a knafeh gal, and I make it quite a bit (I should be on a diet...). This Dubai chocolate craze means my local Turkish shop has been out of kataifi for weeks as there's a supply issue because of demand. It's driving me mad.

So no, I don't like Dubai chocolate!!

Oh yes, knafeh is also delicious!

My Daughters asked me to make Dubai chocolate a few weeks ago and we also had the same issue trying to buy kataifi. Hopefully the influencers will have moved on to something else in about a week and the kataifi will all be ours!

I didn't like it and I love most sweet things. Over rated and over priced.

So …. I’m glad its not just me then.
Got some last night - bitterly disappointed. Turned down a bar of Tony’s in favour of it!
Gutted!

i’ve tried it and it’s nice but sickly, it’s like pistachio flavoured shredded wheat inside a chocolate bar

I hadn't heard of it but a relative brought some from an overseas trip: first bite ok but then it felt sickly. The chocolate is on a level with Kinder egg (of which I am not a fan) and the sweetness overwhelmed the flavour of the filling.

I bought some the other week and it was deffo not worth it. But a colleague went to Dubai recently and said the real thing is gorgeous. It's only made by one chocolatier and they don't have a shop. They release it twice a day on Deliveroo hence why its so so expensive.

I was looking to buy dark choc dubai choc to try

Surely it is not real Dubai chocolate unless it was made in Dubai anyway?
I thought there were rules about foods with regional names?

The original Dubai chocolate is amazing. The type of chocolate that makes you moan as you eat…

The knock offs you get in local supermarkets and airports really doesn’t compare and have turned it into a fad.

There are but I can’t remember if it’s only applicable to the UK or EU. Doesn’t apply to UAE which is why you have Dubai chocolate imitations everywhere.

I think a lot of people sneer at it just because it’s called Dubai chocolate.

Pistachios are adored in the Middle East and Asia so I can see the appeal.

Tesco is doing the Godiva version for £7.95 on Clubcard.

FIX Dessert Chocolatier? Created by one of the ex-students at the university I work at.

I prefer Ion hazelnut!

Do you never leave your village? How very medieval!

I'm not sure sorry.
