Not so quality street

I like Crunchy Frog.

I gave up with both Roses and Quality Street a few years ago. If I buy a tub now it's Miniature Heroes
But my favourites are Bendicks Bittermints :drool:

Milk tray no longer has the Turkish delight, my Wife's most upset.

Totally with her on that one. I miss the lime barrel too... It's cruel.

Several years ago, QS did a box the green triangles and one with purple ones in them.

I'm surprised the EU hasn't told Nestle to change the name of QS as the chocolate is not what I call Quality!

Used to love the lime barrel in Milk Tray. If the Turkish delight has now disappeared, that's it for me. The cream centres have been dreadful since Kraft took over Cadbury, so I'm going to give them a miss for good. Might have to go for Thorntons unless anyone can suggest other milk chocs with cream centres.

Cleaning the loft out i found an old metal tin i had filled with odd nuts and bolts collected from all those projects that i took apart and needed less of them when putting it back together

The weight printed on the tin 2.5kg.. What do they weigh now? less than 800g ?

Even Thorntons aren't what they were. The selection seems to be mainly truffle/mousse type offers and the few fruit creams seem bland.


Beeches used to do gorgeous dark chocolate creams in a large range of flavours. I remember going to a local market stall, selling loose chocolates (long gone) and buying a whole box (shoe box size) at a discounted price. The only ones I've seen in recent years are tiny boxes of one flavour ie orange or strawberry and not very tasty.


The decline in chocolate quality goes some way to helping me live with the fact that I'm not supposed to have them( I have diabetes).
