Finding real Cadbury chocolate in US


Today's Wall St. Journal has an article about finding real Cadbury chocolate in the US. Some chocolate lovers, having tried the US-made Cadbury bars made by Hershey's, will drive a long way to buy UK Cadbury choco bars in the US. Others try a real UK Cadbury bar and never bite into one again, because they prefer the sweeter, harder US versions.

The article mentioned a number of US grocery shops that specialise in UK foods, including the Cadbury range. One is Tea & Sympathy in New York City. Another is British Isles shop in Texas. Also: The London Food Co. in New Jersey. Not mentioned but a good source in Connecticut: UK Gourmet, pictured above.

Meanwhile, the Cadbury/Kraft drama continues. Will Cadbury remain independent? Will Kraft's acquisition offer succeed? Will another corporation try to buy Cadbury?
