Australian tastes are no where near as sweet as some US foods I have tasted before (a girlfriend of mine is from the US and she brings stuff back for me to try - before she left to live in China :-() so it is hard for me to gueage how sweet the Dove choc is, we do have it here. An example for me is Ben and Jerry's ice cream ... for my taste and compared to good ice cream here, it is possibly the most hideous fake sugar tasting stuff I have ever ingested, it just goes to show that we all are used to how things are manufactured in our own country, what we gow up on and what we like!<br /><br />I am enjoying this chocolate taste series, very informative for future travels! :-)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009119301336136337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-64344644128025735892011-05-14T13:29:05.387-04:002011-05-14T13:29:05.387-04:00Oops, I meant wrong not wring (Jeez how come the s...Oops, I meant wrong not wring (Jeez how come the spell checker can't read my mind??!!!)scrappysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039510696981993739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-10498808509853891402011-05-14T13:28:15.296-04:002011-05-14T13:28:15.296-04:00Fun to read about your chocolate tasting, and ther...Fun to read about your chocolate tasting, and there's nothing wring with having a fav to compare the rest to! Chocolate out here is ghastly most of the time; I love Cadbury's in the UK, but its made in Egypt here I think, and its really oily tasting, ugh.scrappysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039510696981993739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-79555350785560342342011-05-14T12:42:56.448-04:002011-05-14T12:42:56.448-04:00Galaxy is my favourite - mind you ours is the milk...Galaxy is my favourite - mind you ours is the milk version - my grandad always gave us some as a treat when we went to visit. I thought he was really special as he used to pretend to keep it in his pocket and I couldn't understand how it didn't melt.

We used to have a chocolate factory near here and someone who used to work there told me that the formulations were different depending on the climate they were sending it too.<br /><br />I'm a savoury treat person myself - give me a bag of crisps any day!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-41750920368308053682011-05-14T10:58:48.174-04:002011-05-14T10:58:48.174-04:00Fussy, aren't you!!!!
