I have tried the chocolate and i found no bugs in the chocolate.

I think the bigger issue here is that the factory they came from clearly has cleanliness issues, if there were eggs or other tiny nasties you probably wouldn't see them, personally I would not touch anything that came from that factory with a barge pole now! :eek:

Yes - I had the same problem with my credit card - I phoned my provider and turns out they'd put a block on it because somewhere I'd used it had entered some info wrong - so they wanted to make sure it was really in my possession. Phew. They took the block off and the transaction went through fine after that. Try calling your card provider.

i had a problem with my debit card as well. My debit card doesn't have an issue no but has a start date. When I tried to put my start date in the start date column only start from 2009 when my cards start date is 2007. Contacted AF and they said there is nothing they can do about it as it is a Google check out so i have to use a credit card instead.

....and Heston Blumenthal would charge you a fortune for them! You can buy freeze dried meal worm in Selfridges too. Has anyone translated the box to check it doesn't read "Chocolate coated maggots"!

Dove is the name for Galaxy in the States. So expect it will be just like a Galaxy caramel bar.

A lot of things in the US of A go by the same name (or similar) to some of our things but don't taste the same. I learnt by mistakes over there....eg Ritz crackers are more sugary tasting, Snickers was rank chocolate etc.
Just be wary with foreign chocolate as different countries seem to like differing tastes of choccie!
