BarTop, are you thinking of the Sky Bar? If so, you are in luck, because they still exist, although they are somewhat limited in regional availability. Around Florida, they are easy to find at any Cracker Barrel restaurant. You can also order them online.

I think so!!!!! I was just a kid when they went away but that looks so familiar! I think now we need to find a Cracker Barrel too.

Japan is not known for their chocolate.

Giridono's?


I will definitely check out EPCOT and see if we want to go to Publix for some goodies. Giordano's pizza. I heard there is one near DW.

Meh, stupid American Cadbury's just isn't the same. Hershey makes Cadbury in this country. You want the good stuff, you need to go abroad.

When I came back from England I was melting down this ginormous Cadbury "Dairy Milk" bar that someone had given me for Christmas and dipping fruit into it. Well, I ran just a little short on chocolate so I ran to the market and bought an additional Cadbury bar here, and it melted completely different... all paraffin >:(

There is apparently a collegiate cement canoe competition being held on campus this weekend. Today is the day they all show up, posture about, and get their canoe weighed and tested to make sure it floats - and this weekend they race. Or something.

And apparently this also involves electric guitars, although I don't personally see the connection. This being a college campus, the guitar player is required to skip through the first 8 bars of a number of classic rock standards, never actually playing a "song" as such.

Wow all this talk of foreign chocolates and I did not see a mention of

Toblerone. Now them's good chocolate. Especially frozen.

MF is quite right. There was a similar product at the Japan pavilion, with fudge, pineapple, banana and strawberry centers. The individual flavors were in discrete squares, not fused together, but it was a similar eating experience. (Easier to share) I haven't seen it for sale there in a while. I thought it was pretty tasty. Overall, Japanese chocolate seems pretty similar to American chocolate to my palate - very sugary. I do like the chocolate coating on Pocky a lot, especially the semi-dark coating on Men's Pocky. (If you find it, give it a try, even if you aren't Men. It's good.)

BTD - If you don't find one while you're out there and don't want to order it online (because you don't want a whole box, I'm thinking), I'll be a stone's throw from a Cracker Barrel in a month (sorry, no sooner) and can get you one if they have it in stock.

BTD - There's a Cracker Barrel next to our hotel in Nashville next week. Let me know if I can pick you up anything.

I mentioned Swiss chocolate, which to me means Toblerone. Is there any other kind of Swiss chocolate?!

When we were in San Fran the Cheesecake factory had toblerone cheesecake. Sadly we just came back from Seattle and went to CF to get some and they don't have it there:(

I've been addicted to Toblerone since I was 8 and Pierre brought me a big bar of it. He brought it every year after that! I hoard it though and don't share:evil:

Yes.

I used to have a HUGE thing for Toblerone, and just about any Swiss chocolate. That was until I went and had a layover in Switzerland. It was then and there in the airport convenience store that I had a startling revelation. Swiss convenience stores carry far superior chocolate to anything I'd had in the U.S. Everything else I'd had was just stale from shipping, or something... I can't put my finger on it. I remember we bought a bunch on the return flight home - and it still tasted better than what I could buy here... a month after we were back!

Though I still love me some Lindt, Toblerone and Ritter, my chocolate-lovin' heart can't forget.

Oh, I could use some serious chocolate right now. Unfortunately, the only thing that really sounds good at the moment a scotchmallow. Just one. Yum.
