You said chocolate bar. Herhsey's is the only one I see. Best by a large margin over al, others. Candy bars bars are another story, do you care to try your question again?

Love the Milka and Ritter chocolates. Back in the day at closing time you could buy bags full of broken Ritter bars fresh from the factory. I'm talking a bag like the big Sunday newspaper comes in for a few marks. I doubt they still do that.

<= Belgian.

That's candy. Not chocolate.

EDIT Having sampled many a Hershey from your PX'es, they are in general too sweet. Way to much sugar, not enough cocoa.

If you want good regular plain chocolate, in Belgium you can go Cote d'or, Callebaut, Jaqcues. Swiss Lindt or Cailler.

If you want good pralines, in Belgium you can go Leonidas, Godiva, Neuhaus. Swiss pralines, meh. Just go Belgian.

Mass American chocolate is mediocre at best.  When I was in Europe and still ate candy I tried a lot of their candy bars and the were pretty much all better than ours.  I think the reason was the primary ingredient.  There it was milk, here its sugar.  And in the US they like to substitute oils for cocoa butter.  Glad I quit eating that tripe.

I was ordering Cadbury milk bars from England for a while after I got back.

I meant what I said.  Thankfully we live in America where options are available.  Low quality stuff, IMO, like Hershey sugar and oil...I mean milk chocolate, or high quality American companies putting out quality milk chocolate. Or even order Cadbury Milk Bars from foreign lands if one so desires.  Options are endless for how one gets the beetus.

One shouldn't get trigged by another's choice in candy.

Good day sir.

OK, I believe you could be rehabilitated.

I won’t put straight mayo on fries, but I don’t like ketchup on them either.  I do like them with cocktail sauce  which is basically ketchup with a good shot of horseradish, a little lemon juice, and a dash of Worcestershire.  Failing that that, I just over salt them.

I got introduced to biscuits and gravy at a tender age eating Saturday breakfast with my father and his two friends at the local mom-and-pop.  But I really hit my stride while dating a guy in the Air Force.  The O’Club did an occasional - once a month, maybe -breakfast brunch with that on the menu.  He only took me about every six months because it was that long before he recovered from the embarrassment of me hogging down the B&G. I was 5’6” and 125 - 130 tops - but I’d flat put that stuff away. He used to accuse me of having a hollow leg. I mean I was legendary.

Ha! I always love eating on foreign bases, simply because you can make the messhall people completely freak out because we don't know anything and order all the wrong stuff.

I once had an officer in my group, think he was number 5-6 in the Austrian Defence...pretty serious guy...but wearing jamjar-glasses...he ordered all the wrong things from the massive US breakfast buffet. "Oh yezz and some of those peaches (fried eggs) with yoghurt (gravy) to start, and I would like some granola (grits) in a cup on the side."

The poor guy behind the counter was nervously dishing out all the food onto the guys plate while desperately making eyecontact with me, while I was too busy paying absolutely no attention to him at all.

Sadly it all came crashing down when the O made it to the "monday breakfast special", which was Salisbury steak.

He turned around, found what he presumed was his orderly (me), poked a finger in my chest and said "I sei hyou zere! Vat is zat???"

Told him it looked like peach cobbler served with a dark crème of some sorts. Sir.

He thought it over, and then said "ah yes. Sadly I awready haf peech joggert, too mush froet awready!" and tottered off.

Now thàt would have been epic...
