I don't eat chocolate. It gives me hives. |

I haven't tried all of them or compared much, but I do know that Swiss chocolate is better than U.S. chocolate. |

Isn't there chocolate in chocolate flavoured ice cream??? But it doesn't give you hives when you eat it in ice cream form??? http://surveycentral.org/survey/23324.html
No hives when you eat chocolate cake either, huh??? http://surveycentral.org/survey/23268.html
That's amazing, RICHARD47!
Bill... can you check busybakers IP address against Richard47? I think she's really a man.  |

I prefer Belgian myself. |

The US is known for its chocolate? But it tastes like crap! Obviously being english, I like Cadburys. But belgian is probably the best. |

I don't eat chocolate much at all, so I couldn't say. |

England chocolate is nasty... Cadbury's had trouble being called chocolate by EU standards (it uses 5% vegetable fat).
I would have swapped England for Italy... I've had some good (but different) Italian chocolate...
It's all kind of pointless anyway, though. For example, US chocolate... some/most is crap, but some is very good. We have some local/specialized chocolate makers who make excellent chocolate. But, then there's Hershey's which is crap. |

But, why bother? Everyone knows... you're Richard47.

I've never done side by side blind taste tests and I doubt anyone else here has either, but off the top of my head, I picked Switzerland based entirely on reputation (which probably comes from old TV ads or something...) |

I don't know because I've only had chocolate from the U.S. and Switzerland. I have no scope of comparison with the other countries. |

Maybe she uses carob. I know my sister does because she doesn't tolerate chocolate very well. |

The best chocolates I have eaten have been from the US. But I haven't sampled enough of the ones from other countries to really say. I imagine the really good chocolates in other countries are the ones you have to go there to eat, not the ones you can get imported in the US. France is the only one of these countries that I've had handmade chocolates in; they were very good, but I've had better in the US. |

I rarely eat chocolate, so I couldn't tell you. |

I haven't had English chocolates, but out of the rest I've found the Swiss chocolate to be the best. |

Hungary, A country of central Europe.... I had some chocolate from there once and it was AMAZING!!!! |

...and you've been busy. So you aren't in Japan anymore? I got that impression from something you posted. |

Richart is the best overall chocolate experience I have had. I think they are from France. |

The post where I said I'd moved back from Japan?
Yeah, I've been busy with other things for a while. |

Honestly, I'm just not a fan of chocolate. There is a time and place but for me it is rare and hard to find. |

I agree with you Hershey is the worst! In alot of towns there is small candy makers that is good
i.e. Gramaldi (in Melbourne FL.) otherwise I like Belgian and Swiss! |

Belgian chocolate. C'est jouissif! |

I've had all but the Belgium chocolate but from those I have had it is swiss chocolate hands down. |
| bcollins |
I've only had chocolate from the U.S., so I can't compare it with the others. |

It's hard to say. I used to think Switz was the best, then Germany rocked my rocker, to me it doesn't matter where it came from, but the quality of the list of ingredients. The best chocolate bar I had, I don't know where it came from. |

I've only tried chocolate from the U.S. and Switzerland. If some kind soul would like to send me samples from the other countries so I can make a fair comparison, I'd be very happy. |
