# hmm, now I'm curious about that 'bad' chocolate and why

# UK chocolate has very low coco content....
So low that it isn't allowed to be called chocolate in Europe, so doesn't taste that chocolatey, it has a large amount of vegetable fat in it, so doesn't feel as nice on the tongue when it melts, in is manafactured to be quite brittle, because the UK market apparently likes a "Snap" in their chocolate when they break or bite it....
