[Humour] The Pub Debate - The Best Chocolate

[Paulie Gualtieri]

If the debate was held at the Ambassadors reception rather than a Wetherspoons there would have been a different answer....

What would the answer have been down your local?

I was once hospitalised by a Ferrero Rocher. True story.

Dairy Milk [Insert variant of your choice here].

I agree this is hard to beat and hasn't been completely messed up by recipe changes yet

For info in case anyone wants or needs to gift vegan chock Booja Booja is great (but I agree you probably wouldn't argue for this in your local)

 

[Flounce]

No takers for a Hershey bar? Yuck

You can't just leave it there. Well

 

[Guinness Boy]

Tastes great and produced by a company doing its bit to stop the chocolate slave trade

Those shells voted best by the Wetherspoon-botherers can get in the sea...

Great shout on both cases.

Although you can get it in Tesco and other places now, Tony's is originally Dutch. I've done a lot of work over there this year and tend to come back from Schiphol with a bag full of the stuff for the family Guinness. REALLY good chocolate and genuinely ethical. Well worth looking into the story of the founder trying to get himself arrested for modern slavery!

Anything over 90% cocoa

I was a big fan of it already – and knew a bit of the back story – and then John Oliver did one of his deep dives into the chocolate industry and I discovered even more.

Pound land dark chocolate "Twin Peaks" - their take on a well known triangular Swiss made bar.

Montezumas chilli and lime for me please.

Following a long, deep (semi factual-ish) debate, the drinkers of Wetherspoons involved in this debate concluded that these are simply the best chocolates money can buy at your local.

Let the debate begin!

(Possible world's best chocolate competition to follow)

absolutely disgusting rubbish

Another vote for Dairy Milk here. Not a fan of dark chocolate so most of those expensive, pretentious brands can do one.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Toblerone

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Anyway, the answer is Daim or Crunchie .

 

[TomandJerry]

I feel like a World's Best Chocolate competition might be in order

Lots of delicious finger pointing and tantrums

Wagon Wheel IN.

One of the worst takes in NSC history? Guylian wouldn’t even be in my top 50!

Wagon Wheel IN.

They’re found on the biscuit aisle! Biscuit!

The conspiracy group has already started against the humble wagon wheel!

Apparently popular to those who frequent Wetherspoons

Most of the things we buy involves exploitation, but the cocoa trade is particularly grim. I don't know the fulll story on Tony's, but for me the most interesting model in terms of an alternative to the main stream shite is Divine. Decent chocolate (if I am.honest not my absolute favorite... but pretty good) from.a company part owned by the farmers themselves.

Most 'chocolate' in the UK is really just flavoured sugar.
