    Your alive?

    People have been asking after you in your mountain shack thread.

    Anyway, All Aussie dairy products taste different then NZ dairy products, so having a standardised recipe won't make any difference when the ingredients themselves taste so different.

    When I came back to NZ I feasted on milk, icecream and chocolate for months.

    Fat profiles, (i.e. saturated - long and short chain - and unsaturated) which dictate melting characteristics, are key.

    Yes, and yes.
    It's largely due to the diet of the cows. The fats etc in the milk come from the food they eat: here it's mostly grass, in Switzerland it's mostly weeds; in the USA it's a mixture of chemicals, grain and feed trucked in from another state; in Australia it's mostly rocks, with some hay and grain thrown over the fence occasionally.

    I used to drink non-skinny milk, but spent so much time working in Australia (mostly Perth) where the full-cream milk tastes really weird, that I switched to low-fat milk, just to get away from the taste.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Cadburys is only chocolate flavoured sugar and fat anyways. It isn't a patch on real (70% + cocoa solids) chocolate like Whittakers Dark Ghana/Dark Mocha, Rapunzel or Green & Blacks, and nowhere near as good for you

    I was envisaging Cadbury Dairy Milk. So they do boutiquey type chocolate these days too.... I'm not trusted to be let loose in the supermarket much these days

    Personally, when it comes to chocolate, I am very happy to practice selective "degustation" (http://foodgeeks.com/encyclopedia/439/degustation/) and would rather have a smaller portion of really good stuff creating an orgasmic explosion on my tongue than gorge myself with insipid, tasteless quantities of supermarket crap.

    The dark caramel from Whittakers is my only exception to my rule of expensive belgian chocolates

    That makes sense - flavour compounds concentrate in the fat, therefore the higher the fat in the dairy product, the stronger any "unusual" flavours will be tasted. As you pointed out, feed is a major contributor.

I understood the reason for this is that the veg fat is not able to cope with the higher temperatures in this part of the world. If the Aussies are now doing it then NZ will not be far behind. Bad news for the 'chocoholicly aflicted' NAMELY ME.
    In fact, the whole EU with the exception of the UK doesn't allow Cadbury to pass their shit off as chocolate. The two reasons are a) Veg. fat b) Cocoa content is not high enough. I think you'll also find that the summer temperatures in Europe are often a lot higher than NZ.

    Rant over.

    Just back from a few weeks in Perth & W.A. Their dairy, food, meat, honey, etc all tastes like crap. Stuff is grown in mostly sand so no wonder it has no flavour. Drive 150 kms from Perth north south or east, its just more sand with a few rocks. Great to come home but I did enjoy their warm climate.

    So I go to our local New World today and flippin heck they've got the Aussie made Cadburys, light weight, new packaging. So I bought the Whittakers real 250g blocks. Bugger, I liked some of those Cadbury flavours, but what a ripoff.
    Cheers
