Chocolate
One of the biggest differences that I have noticed about the food here in the US compared to my food at home in Scotland is the chocolate. I love chocolate, just as most people do but I can never bring myself to eat a bar of Hershey’s just because it is so different. Hershey’s has a slightly sour taste to me and it leaves you with a bad aftertaste, almost like the chocolate actually went off a while ago. Although I am not a fan of American chocolate at all I do like a trip to Kent coffee in town where the chocolate is just as good as at home. The chocolate here is smooth and creamy and melts beautifully in your mouth. My favorite chocolate when I am home is Galaxy and their Cookie Crumble kind is amazing. Whenever I get to go home for breaks my suitcase will be weighed down on the way back by lots of bars of Galaxy chocolate for me and my roommate. It is also always very exciting when I get a package at school from my parents because there is always a bar or two of galaxy in there. Even though I love the chocolate that I get at home, it is by no means the best. The chocolate in European countries such as Switzerland, Austria and France is incredible. One of the best generic brands of chocolate in Europe is Milka, it is so creamy and milky and is just delicious. However, if you are looking for the best chocolate the best place to go would be a small chocolate shop in a town in Switzerland or another European country, this just make the experience of the chocolate so much more authentic and it is guaranteed to be amazing chocolate.
