Cannot agree more..
There are a lot of good things we’re missing here in the “land of plenty”.

Hold on! You can’t find anything between your favorite chocolate and Safeway donuts?? It seems to me that, here in this great land of plenty, you should be able to find something you like more than Safeway donuts.

I can’t find a kind of chocolate that resembles Kinder in US, no.

And the pita gyros in the Bay Area are actually turkish ones with lamb and salad in them (the greek way is with pork and fries/tzatziki instead).

Yes, kinder chocolate is usually for “children”, since it has little cocoa and more milk, so it has a soft flavor (too sweet for my taste). I have a friend who likes this kind of chocolate because he doesn’t like chocolate (i.e, he doesn’t like the taste of cocoa).

Anyway, why not buy it online?

Lindt & Sprüngli are good, as is Ghirardelli.

I don’t know about Kinder chocolate

BTW, doesn’t Kinder mean “children”?

Be glad that no such things exist in your region – thats better for your slim line!
When I went shopping I allways try to ignore the shelfs that carry the chocolate stuff – but too often I am to weak to resist! :-/
As a result I have to work out in the spring time to get rid of the “chocolate-kilos”.
Therefore I enjoyed your diet recipies on your blog in last months.

Cheers,
Ralf.

>infrequently

Yes, this is what I mean. About 1-2 times a month.

Completely agree with you Eugenia. Chocolate in America for the most part SUCKS! Chocolate in Belgium/Germany/Japan is where “heaven” really is!

Thanks for the link Vince, but I don’t like dark chocolate. I like milk chocolate.

Seldomly means “infrequently” (in the sense “almost never”) or “hardly ever”… did you mean that? It sounded more like you meant “frequently” or “sometimes”. Otherwise the text is odd. It sounds wrong; like you meant that they did bring you things, but almost never.

They actually have 7 varieties of milk chocolate.. you just have to scroll through to page 2 & 3 of their 3oz bar pages.

(They have a terrible online store…)

I like my chocolate ‘extra pure’ as we Dutch call it (that would be ‘extra dark’ in English). However, after the Great Toblerone Addiction of a few years ago, I don’t like chocolate all that much anymore.
