Here in New Zealand, cheese is one of the biggest exports to the world--except in American where the Dairy Association won't let it in. I agree that if you want to buy it, you should be able to.betty-NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950300478215339641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-70288864908211175832015-02-11T21:24:28.784-05:002015-02-11T21:24:28.784-05:00The key words here are "still made in the sam...The key words here are "still made in the same way". See, the taste between Hershey's and Cadbury's really is quite a difference. I really do know much more about chocolate companies than anyone else cares to know about! And I can well remember from the early 1980's that I was surprised at how so many things that I bought in England had the words "Made In the UK" on them! That has changed over the years!<br />I do like the idea of eating chocolate and it being my patriotic duty! HA!<br />Except NOT Hershey's! I think that I have read that English chocolate must be at least 20 percent cocoa solids whereas American chocolate can have just 10 percent. See, I told you I was boring about my chocolate facts.<br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-27958330647980400372015-02-11T19:09:43.600-05:002015-02-11T19:09:43.600-05:00Hi Kay,
Although it still retains the name and is...Hi Kay, <br />Although it still retains the name and is still made in the same way Cadbury's is actually owned by an American Company, in Chicago I think. Google or look up "Cadbury's. Wikipedia" to check. Thank's to Margaret Thatcher and her love of privatization in the 1980s very few British company's exist that are still owned by Brits. I watched a programme about UK companies recently and was shocked by how many have changed hands to the highest bidder. So its not unAmerican to eat the stuff... it's your patriotic duty :o)<br />It's a complicated world nowadays and nothing is what it seems anymore. Sounds like two American companies fighting it out to decide a winner.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-10295313455214076012015-02-11T18:37:24.468-05:002015-02-11T18:37:24.468-05:00Oh, you remind me...we had some ice cream in Engla...Oh, you remind me...we had some ice cream in England last year, it was a kind of vanilla with caramel and bits of honeycomb.
