R.I.P Cadbury my love 02/03/2010

As I put a little bit of dark chocolate into my mouth I thought about the phrase "Sweet tooth" and realized that it made no scientific sense whatsoever. I have always been under the impression that the combination of both tongue and nose is what makes food so tasty. Not your teeth. So why then do we say "I've got a sweet tooth".  Hmmm I'm never really very impressed with sayings that don't line up with facts. The chocolate was good though.

 I heard that Cadbury got bought by Kraft today and honestly it feels like a part of me has died. I mean what does Kraft know about chocolate? Don't they sell mayonnaise, salad dressings and macaroni and cheese? What are they doing sticking their beaks into chocolate? And this, let me tell you, is no ordinary chocolate.  If I had had the money I would have bought the company myself. This is the best chocolate in the world. After all, Cadbury  invented  the beautiful Boost bar, the crazy Crunchie,  the wonderful Wispa, the tremendous Twirl, the cute Curly Wurly but above all the fabulous flake. Let's not forget  those bonny wee buttons either. I mean the names alone get me wet. I know Kraft will keep on producing them but it just won't be the same. And if Kraft dares to employ a Hershey's chocolate cuisiniere I will create my own army and storm the place. The taste of Hershey's makes me want to hurl. So be warned Mr Kraft do not tamper with Cadbury's recipes.

Cadbury's has been such a part of my life, to think that it will now be americanized is heartbreaking. I have never seen a Cadbury's easter egg sold here, I'm not talking cream eggs (which do get sold) I'm talking giant eggs filled with Cadbury's chocolates. What about the Christmas stockings? The Valentines hearts?... Cadbury was like the welcomed British fairy godmother for all occasions.   Why has this happened? Why does anything monumental ever happen?....Money!

A sad event for sure! But be warned - they have Aussie carburys recepies that are not the same as the UK ones! They put in an extra something that assists with non melting!
