This is not my standard poll on which candy is the spawn of Satan, although for Easter, it’s definitely those somewhat angular egg shaped things with the white inside.
A very good Easter Candy. Cadbury Mini Eggs.
If you haven’t had these yet, pick some up. These have a nice rich chocolate flavor and the shells have a nice chalky texture. Children are unable to appreciate the sophisticated subtleties, so don’t bother sharing them with anyone under 18. They can have those foil wrapped eggs that take two years to unwrap and bits of foil still remain.
I have constantly updated mental blacklists of companies. People like Tesco, Anglian Windows, British Gas … and now Cadbury. Or, to be more accurate, Kraft.
I reckon there’s a curmudgeon shaped gap in the market right now. At least in the UK.
Not that I eat chocolate these days. We’ve already had our Ostara celebrations, which occur at the equinox - that was last Sunday. We had an Oestre-egg hunt and an egg-and-spoon race. We very nearly had an Egg-and-Spork race but tradition prevailed. Kay won but did not share her Oestre-egg prize. I suspect that she may not win next year. I’m not saying that in my capacity as Judge, by any means.
There was a big news story when Kraft bought Cadbury. They interviewed all kinds of people on the (British) streets. I remember one person, practically screaming in terror. “They sold OUR Cadbury to a company that makes plastic cheese!”
As long as Kraft doesn’t change the recipe and make the chocolate taste American or yikes, plastic, I’m OK.
