>Why does European Dark chocolate taste different than US dark chocolate?
I have been to Europe many times and their chocolate taste great, however all euro's hate milk chocolate so I assume all of their chocolate is dark. This being the case, Dark Chocolate in the US is bitter and not good. So whats the difference between the two?

>however all euro's hate milk chocolate
Where the fuck did you get this from? We just hate your sour milk abominations.
And thats only found in milk chocolate.
Something about yours having more butyric acid and HFCS, making it smell literally of rancid butter.
In your milk chocolate, not ours.
Here in Germany we love milk chocolate and I've heard it is the most consumed chocolate in Germany. (pic related)
>bitter
The higher the concentration of cacao the more bitter it becomes.
Your chocolate LITERALLY has vomit in it
It's mostly hershey's that's garbage
there are lots of smaller chocolatiers that make better chocolate, but you would have to go somewhere other than Walmart and Kroger to find it. Shouldn't be surprised that most Americans won't do that though.
we import these now, they're very good
Weird, i always thought it was in milk chocolate in general and euros hated it.
I think we are, once again, Europe's weird guy. From what I know Euros hate milk chocolate (except for Bongs maybe, but they are not a benchmark when it comes to food)
I rarely eat chocolate but when I do it is Ritter Sport. They make some unique types.
>mfw eating milk chocolate easter eggs right now
>From what I know Euros hate milk chocolate
You are incorrect. Never seen dark chokolate being much more popular, most of the flagship products of popular brands are milk chocolate.
>however all euro's hate milk chocolate so I assume all of their chocolate is dark.
i dont know where you get your information but you are wrong
ever heard of milka?
>Dark Chocolate in the US is bitter
What's wrong with that? I like a little bit bitter chocolate.
Lindt a shit.
We actually do have some decent chocolate despite the memes. If you can't find any then I feel bad for you. Git gud because I'm not helping you out either
you can eat my eggs anytime
>Unironically buying shit saying BIO on its packaging
>not buying pure, patriotic Kazakh chocolate
>not importing fine camel milk chocolate from Dubai
>not buying dark chocolate rounds in bulk, melting them, tempering it, and making your own sea salt and roasted almond chocolate bars
Why the fuck not, you can help your countryman live a better life by literally typing a single sentence.

>Foreigners will never taste this perfect chocolate
So does anything with honey.
4/5
fugg, this thread made me want to buy some chocolate
Here in italy adults usually prefer dark chocolate while kids prefer milk chocolate.
Not what i was talking about
>chocolate that's not between 50-60% cocoa
I can't eat milk chocolate anymore because it has tons of calories and I get pimples after it. But I fucking love it.
>Butyric acid = vomit
Do you never consume any dairy products?
Good stuff there frenchbro
>mfw I buy all of these brands at my local import store
>mfw Euros still think it's not a world economy and it's 2017
You people were the same ones who told me I couldn't get french mustard over here too, lmao. Enjoy the economic support, no need to thank me.
Have you vomited so much that it tastes normal to you?
Oh, I get it, your belly is so full of sweets that even your vomit tastes like chocolate.
>mfw I can buy dr. pepper and rootbeer
>import store
is this different from a regular supermarket like shartmart? how much are they in america? do they only sell american products in american supermarkets?
>I can't buy
fix
>Butyric acid is found in milk, especially goat, sheep and buffalo milk, butter, parmesan cheese, and as a product of anaerobic fermentation (including in the colon and as body odor).
It also has antitumorgenic effects.

Enjoy depriving yourself.

>fermentation
>including in the colon
>do they only sell american products in american supermarkets?
It used to be that was the case, but nowadays even Safeway and Walmart stock shelves full of imports because the millennials get off to foreign brands. Legit import stores are usually run by first-second gen immigrants and they'll stock anything from baked goods, imported cured meats, imported beers + wines, european shelf stock and lots and lots of confections. Usually they'll have a deli where you can order prepared meals too. They're good places with friendlier staff than anything corporate, I enjoy supporting them.
>ooohh no i learned about my microbiome today
Daily reminder everytime you eat cheese you eat an acid produced in your colon. And it's good for you.
The U.S import stores here suck and are only for hipsters who want to spend £11 on Lucky Charms.
>American chocolate is soured
>American water is fluorinated
>American Chicken is chlorinated
>American soda is fructososized
WTF IS THEIR PROBLEM?
I bet you can't get good European cheese or meat though.
We have a fetish for eating chemicals, that's how we got so fat.
MMMMM, dat sodium acid pyrophosphate.
Then why does it taste just as described? I wouldn't drink milk if it tasted like a cow's nipplejuice.
Thank you, very interesting.
I am a poorfag from the countryside and I don't know such exotic stores and I can't afford to travel.
The exotic things from foreign countries I come to see are Italian birds breeding here during springtime and sometimes I can steel few eggs that are very tasty. But they regularly defend their eggs so I send my cat in first and birds attack the cat.
Maybe one day I can make intercourse with lost tourist girl with flat tire (maybe it will be me who made the tire flat haha).
I know that there are American import stores in South Germany where the American bases are.
I get cave aged AOP Gruyere from my Grocery Outlet for $3.50/lb. Does that count?
Are you from the fucking 50's ?
No but from Brandenburg. My father was a commie officer in the Stasi and after 1990 he feared East Germans would lynch him so he decided to go back to the farmhouse where he was born.
JUST give me the bullet
>muh microchocolatieris
>Brandenburg
alright that fucking explains everything, god damn I didn't know germany had romania tier places still
>alpen gold
>turned out it is being sold in Poland too
>he knows it's shit
fuuck
I am trapped here, Brudi.
I mean trapped in a literal sense. We don't own car and my bicycle has no chain because my father uses it for the diesel generator.
Because European chocolate is actual, real chocolate.
Is it really from Switzerland? In Russia, they sometimes sell some shit labeled "made in Switzerland" but when you read the whole description it says "some of the ingredients were imported from Switzerland"(they don't even specify which ingredients) and cheese itself was made in a cykablyat oblast.
Only 99-100% cacao chocolate is worthy of its name
Europe gets theirs direct from Africa. Ours went through a careful selection process before being aged for ~150 years
That's... The most horrible thing I've heard all day.
Literally the only good chocolate in the US is dark chocolate. You want it to be bitter. What you ate in Europe was probably milk chocolate.
wtf
Fucking reverse sanctions. Putin hates us.
pic related is like a drug, could eat 300g bar by myself in one sitting
>american OREOs are like a plate in diameter
>they start producing OREOs in Russia
>size of a big coin
This flavor is stupidly rare, I've only seen two places sell it in my entire life and they both stopped after a week.
>american OREOs are like a plate in diameter
What? No, you're wrong. Oreos are small enough to be eaten in a couple bites. Just about twice the size of a big coin.
Ever had one of these?
Oreo is revolting, even more when stuffed inside an average chocolate.
Pic related is the only decent Milka I tried.
And the yoghurt one. The yoghurt ones good
>chocolatiers
>importing Ritter
>thinking Ritter is good
Good Lord you Americans are fucking disgusting when it comes to chocolate.
you can get Dr. Pepper here sometimes
I was surprised when I first tasted it and discovered how shit it was
unironically nothing wrong with ritter
It's no wonder you think so.
It's like arguing with a feminist and trying to explain why she is single and bitter.
Anyway, hopefully you'll stop being a pleb one day bro.
Everybody likes milk chocolate. WTF are you talking about ?
Are you one of the Amish folk who didn't come to America?
Amish were mostly Swiss and Alsacian user...

>So whats the difference between the two?
Considering how 80% of honey sold in the US does not actually contain honey, I'm gonna guess it has something to do with the ingredients in the US not being top notch, to say the least.
>all euro's hate milk chocolate
Blatantly false, we just like dark chocolate a lot more than Americans, but we don't hate milk chocolate.
>Is it really from Switzerland?
sorry, ivan, shit you describe doesn't happen anywhere else, so here if it says switzerland it is true. why do you even ask
this, dr pepper is terrible, not sure why people wank over it
i've read that euro soft drinks are on average much tastier than american counterparts because they are sweetened with sugar, not hfcs
You're missing out if you haven't tasted this stuff.
Ritter is an ok supermarket chocolate but definitely not anything special at all.
daily reminder that americans LITERALLY and UNIRONICALLY put vomit flavouring in their chocolate
this is FACT, I am NOT making this up
You have honey being sold without containing honey, and champagne that isn't actually champagne, sounds to me like it happens at least in Murrika too.
>non-nordics ever liking this
our chocolate has bee vomit in it because it's hotter here than Europe so the chocolate will melt. this prevents it from melting too fast
not sure what you are on about, but if something is made in the us we don't put "made in france" on the label which is apparently commonplace in russia.
That's one thing I can appreciate about the Eu's food regulations. If you wanna label something milk chocolate then you are legally required to have something like 25% cocoa in it. US regulations only go as far as requiring 10% cocoa solids in their milk chocolate. At that point it's barely even chocolate at all.
Stop posting our chocolate Sven.
t. Mongol.
Is that chocolate with that salty liquorice in it? Sounds gross but maybe its weird enough to be nice.
Except its does happen since its totally legal to sell wine labeled as American Burgundy.
I don't think it's bitter in the good way. More like bitter in the synthetically rancid way.
I like chocolate with stuff in it. Like nuts, gummies and fruit.
How is this any different from Cadbury or some other meme?
>He thinks this is French
I've eaten this
Weird Finnish uncle brought them from finlan itself
They're fucking amazing
wtf
Save him, user.
more cacao = less sugar = more bitter
