The great Irish Cadbury Dairy Milk Mystery (whole milk? Not milk powder?)

[Guest]

[Roz]

Well... for a long time I've heard rumours that Irish Cadbury Dairy Milk is 'better' than English dairy milk... being a girl who doesn't like to let a mystery lie, I've taken it upon myself to get to the bottom of this mystery.

I've just got back from Ireland today.

I've heard all sorts of stories - e.g.

1) the Irish Dairy Milk is made with full cream milk whereas English is semi skimmed

and;

2) the Irish Dairy Milk is not made from milk powder but from milk itself...

Does anyone know any more about this? I've got 250g of the stuff all sealed up and ready for a direct taste test, so London yaks are more than welcome to join

I've googled this question, but come up with nothing - does anyone else know more?

Have you compared the ingredients?

[Roz]

Nope, don't have any English stuff in - I'm generally a 'no choc or Green and Blacks girl now - and I'm a lot slimmer   - but I'll get some for a side by side test I do wonder if the ingredients list will be detailed enough though.

To do a proper taste test, you need to have a bit of both in front of you so you can compare.

[Roz]

Oh, only if you insist

[De Orc]

We Insist 

[mcgonagall]

yes we really do insist  maybe we should send you some aussie chocolate just to make the test fair

Similarly...there is actually a taste difference between the Aussie and New Zealand Cadbury chocolate. I assume it has to do with the milk used (both use Aussie sugar), and obviously the cows in NZ get a lot more lush green grass to eat then the Aussie cows do.

This could prove to be of great scientific importance to the world 

[De Orc]

And do we have the results yet??? 

[Roz]

Believe it or not ... no! That's Christmas for you

Stand by ...

[Morningangel-Iola]

Surely there should be plently of chocolate about at christmas.

[mcgonagall]

well if you need some aussie chocolate Roz let me know and i will get some on its way to you in no time
