Hersheys is by far, the WORST "food" ever concocted.

They used sour milk - which is why it tasted, and still tastes like vomit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershey_bar

The process is a trade secret, but experts speculate that the milk is partially lipolyzed, producing butyric acid, which stabilizes the milk from further fermentation. This compound gives the product a particular sour, "tangy" taste, to which the US public has become accustomed, to the point that other manufacturers often add butyric acid to their milk chocolates.[1]

The American 'palete' can be down right wretched.

EDIT: there isn't anything out there that notes/cites the sour milk, but I did see a documentary that called that out (Hershey was trying to 'refine' his chocolate's taste and decided to use rotting milk,..).

Are they a Hershey's product? I guess i did not realize that because Reese's are indeed delicious, you piece of shit.

The FDA did do their job.

They made them put "Chocolate Flavored" on the labels.

Before that used to just say Chocolate.

Hershey's bars are okay but apparently they use a different formula here in Canada. They don't taste sour. It's still among the cheapest, lowest quality chocolate you can buy though. Just one step up from those Allen's Easter Bunnies.

Europeans, particularly the English and the Swiss, are the only people who know how to make proper milk chocolate. The North American stuff is loaded with too much sugar and other fillers, and doesn't taste creamy at all.

I can't stand Hershey's anything and for some damnable reason they have production rights to the US version of Kit Kat whereas everywhere else its made by Nestle.

Mmm Swiss. I remember flying Swiss airlines and all of the chocolate they gave us. :wub:

Can't stand Hershey's chocolate for the very reason that I always thought it stank like sour milk ... and now I know why!

Nice to know I wasn't imagining things!

Which reminds me, the Toblerones are in season right now.

When my grandma used to visit England, she'd always bring me back these 1kg Cadbury Dairy Milk bars. That's a lotta chocolate, and so good.

Yup our pallets are horrible which is why there's so many world famous restaurants and chefs here.

Souring milk is a legit method and used in a lot of cooking techniques, especially in breads and cakes, and the French use it all the time in pastry baking.

I'm betting at least half of all chocolate makers do something similar. It's all in your head.

American and European chocolate is marketed differently. Americans LOVE chocolate, and it's mass marketed, mass produced, and is made as cheaply as possible. Therefore, you have low cocoa butter content and high sugar content, making it sweet and acidic.

European chocolate has a higher cocoa butter content and less sugar, making it more creamy tasting. However, it's also a lot more expensive and is positioned as a luxury treat.

So, it's cheap and plentiful vs. uncommon and expensive.

As an award winning chocolate chip baker, I'll vouch for Ghirardelli semi-sweet chips being the best.

There's a good number of craft chocolate makers in the US that produce really good chocolate.. Lonohana, Patric, Rogue, Dick Taylor to name a few. Though you'll spend $10+ a bar.

True story: I was having dinner in Munich years ago with my Dad, seated next to a guy from Belgium and his son. At some point the subject of chocolate in the U.S. came up and the son, seeking to be conciliatory, said that "Hershey's makes pretty good milk cocoa." You would have thought he'd just said his old man had collaborated with the Nazi's during the war. That kid didn't say shit for the rest of the meal.

There are 5 other countries way ahead of the US in regards to the best restaurants; http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...andscape-of-michelin-s-gold-star-winners.html

This link is a year old. I was not able to find a more recent link.

But, 736 (France) v. 162 (US),.. come on.

We've perfected deep fried garbage, but, that's about it.

 

[OutHouse]

Why aren't coco producing countries the best at making chocolate? In stead it's the swiss....
