- maxmcd 13y agoYeah. I grew up in Belgium and moved back to the US when I was still young. It's always been difficulty for me to take the chocolate here seriously.
- elliottcarlson 13y agoAs someone who also grew up in Belgium and now lives in New York, I completely agree. I brought back as much as I could when I went back to visit a few months ago - and it was still not nearly enough.
- maxmcd 13y agoI live in nyc as well. Neuhaus isn't bad. They import directly, have locations in GC and a few other places. $30 for a pretty large box. Cheaper than airfare. :)
- elliottcarlson 13y agoThere's also a Leonidas up at Madison & 52nd - don't remember the prices there but definitely on the higher side. And well, we both know what Godiva really is...
- maxmcd 13y agoHah, seriously, repackaged Hershey's. Interesting about Leonidas, I'll have to check that out.
- nopassrecover 13y agoYep American chocolate is terrible. Which is weird as everything is sweet in the US (even the bread...) so you'd think sweet things would be great.
- vacri 13y agoI was pretty shocked when I bit into a slice of "Healthy Choice Wholemeal" bread in LA and found it sweeter than a slice of raisin bread back home. Similarly, to me corn bread is meant to be savoury, not so sugary it's like a slightly caramelised cake like I had in one place in NO.
- pionar 13y agoCorn bread is a regional thing here in the US. In the south, you will often find it to be made very sweetly. What you're used to would probably be found more in the Midwest and Plains states. (I'm in Indiana, and the corn bread here is delicious - a little dry, but very good)
- vacri 13y agoI met a South African septugenarian living in Arizona who imports his chocolate and candy from Australia because what the Americans have to offer is such low quality.
