They changed the chocolate recipe in East Germany because they didn't have the ingredients. At one point they sold "chocolate" made of fish meal.

  Interesting. Source?

    The only relevant thing I could find was the „Schlager Süßtafel“ ( https://www.t-online.de/leben/essen-und-trinken/id_100228748/ddr-geschichte-war-in-der-ost-schokolade-stierblut-verarbeitet-.html https://www.t-online.de/leben/essen-und-trinken/id_100228748... ) which seems to have been made with milk from cows fed with fishmeal, which made it taste weird.

      Ah, yes. People in the time said it was in the food, but it was "just" used to feed the animals that produced the food.
