Irish Cadburys Is Nicer

[Nemo123]

I have always bought Cadburys milk chocolate wrapped in foil and paper rather than sealed in plastic. It just tastes better. To my surprise I discovered there was a reason why; it's Irish.

Now that Kraft have bought Cadbury, its Irish opertion may not continue.

the Irish Cadbury's milk chocolate is quite different and, according to many, far superior in flavour to the British recipe

all crunchhies and flakes are made in Ireland too.

So, a little tip to chocolate lovers: next time you're in Ireland, buy the milk chocolate bar in the gold foil and paper wrapper.

Cadbury's British consumers are generally not aware that their Flake or Twirl is made in the Republic of Ireland - though many of them may notice that these, and certain of the other Cadbury lines, taste better than others... which, of course, they do!

should Cadbury Ireland be headed for extinction: its unique milk chocolate, the jewel in the Cadbury crown, the basis of the best and most creative of the company's great, historic chocolate bars.

Have you tried the shi%e they pass off as Cadbury's over in the States? Manky stuff, made with corn syrup.

no, though I did like Hershey's when I was there.

I can't understand why Cadbury UK go with their inferior chocolate. It's just too sweet.

Omfg! I remember that is used to be wrapped like that. how weird! x

[Nemo123]

ok

A shop assistant asked me why I didn't want the bar in the plastic wrapper. All I could say was the one in the paper and foil was nicer. Hadn't a clue why. Then in the News it was reported Kraft (American co.) had bought Cadbury, and I learned that the Irish manufacture was different.

Far far nicer. Try it if you get the chance. It has the addressof the Dublin factory on it, not the Birmingham one.

lol how funny the paper and foil wrapper was ditched as unhygenic in the uk and most of europe quite a few years ago the chocolate comes from the same factorys they just switch wrapper styles on production runs according to which european country it is destined for the foil/paper style wrapper is cheaper to produce than the plastic wrapper trust me i worked for them for 8 years all the E.U produce is the same ;)
The american produce is a different recipe and one that is produced just for the american market and i agree that is horrid.

[Nemo123]

Totally ignorant again there BOb. You didn't even bother to read the article my information is sourced from.

Milk chocolate made in Birmingham is too sweet, it just doesn't compare to the stuff made in Dublin.

The Irish recipe tastes less sweet, feels less dry and chalky - and less greasy - and it doesn't have the same caramel overtones of the British formulation. I prefer its apparent higher-roast cocoa bean flavour, it's crisp, nutty, creamy, distinctive taste, the genius and subtlety of its blend, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Though both types have what Americans call a 'barnyard(y)' flavour and both are slightly grainy in texture, I think British Cadbury's has a slightly 'chemical' taste, which is why I don't enjoy Buttons or UK Cadbury easter eggs, for example.

Btw, both British and Irish Cadbury are sold here side by side. You wouldn't touch the British bar if you're fond of chocolate.

Wrt to foil and hygiene it is a problem, there's no doubt.

the Irish Cadbury's milk chocolate is quite different and, according to many, far superior in flavour to the British recipe. That's the rub! The company doesn't like to refer to this difference and in fact has done a good job concealing the fact. What's more, product lines made with either of the company's two chocolate formulas, the Irish and the British, sell side-by-side in both Britain and Ireland.

Sell side by side in Britain. Buy one of each and do a taste test.

[hotleggs]

i prefer the british stuff

[Nemo123]

i prefer the british stuff

That's OK, it's a free country. My mission is done if I have made people aware there is a difference.

[hotleggs]

no its not a free country lol

k

[MissKittyFantastico]

I've never even seen Cadbury's wrapped in plastic, we only get the foil wrapped ones here.

[Scarlett.]

I like the wrappers we have over here, they look old fashioned ones :p

[hotleggs]

[hotleggs]

[Scarlett.]

These are plastic ones I think, some form of plastic

The Tayto crips you have down south are not as good as the ones we have here though

[Nemo123]

Thing is, they are 2 different chocolate bars with the same name. They are as alike as American Budweiser and Chech. Except they are made by the same company. And they are sold side by side on the same shelves as if they are the same product. The Irish bar is wrapped in foil and paper, which is an inferior wrapper - the chocolate goes off quicker and the wrapper tears easily.

(Never mad about Tayto, poor quality control, although it has improved in recent years)

You do?! I'm in Manchester and we have the foil ones :laugh:

[hotleggs]

that is not plastic

now that is funny lol

[Nemo123]

Does it say made in Ireland? The foil ones usually do, and the plastic ones are made in Birmingham.

Also, Flakes and Twirls are exclusively made in Ireland, according to the article.

[Nemo123]

that is not plastic

now that is funny lol

it is.

Btw, Cadbury have hadd a factory in Dublin since 1933. My auntie worked in it for years. She used to bring us kids free samples.

[Scarlett.]

You do?! I'm in Manchester and we have the foil ones :laugh:

lol how weird I thought the whole UK would have had the same ones

and I assure you hotleggs, it is plastic

[Alpertinator]

Interesting stuff man, did not know there was a foil wrapped one and it tastes different. Well hows about that... man I'd really like to try a hershey bar...
