I know some people who swear by it but we do our main shop in Tescos but buy specific items from Aldi. Saying that it's down to individual preference.

Yeah I do that too. We get our main shops from Tescos, or if treating ourselves Markies. However since moving here, we have Asda's on our doorstep (not that fond of it tbh) and Morissons which has a good selection of stuff. Also got a Lidl here too, but haven't tried it yet. The food there is 'ok', but they do these cheese rolls there that are the absolute bomb! So yeah, we got to certain places for certain things, and stick to one or two others for our main shops.

We lost or main M & S in the high Street last month but still got a M & S food outlet. You get some cracking stuff in there so we are in a couple of times a month.

Aye we go there once a fortnight or every three weeks, as we have to travel 16 miles to get back to Dundee to go there (not a biggie for me tbh); but I couldn't afford to go there weekly!

Is Kinder Schokolade available in the UK?

Best piece of chocolate in the world.

Most overrated? All kinds of the Lindt crap. You are always get disappointed as you expect so much more for the price

Kinder is shite.

That's the chocolate, not children.

Necessarily.

Kinder is shite.

It was definitely better in the 70's when I was a "Kind" (child). Back then it was one of my favourites as was another Ferrero product, Nutella.

But they must have changed the ingredients eventually (maybe to cut costs, idk) because a few years ago I bought them and was really shocked about the taste of both. Or maybe my taste deteriorated with age That wasn't the Kinder Schokolade and Nutella of my Childhood anymore.

I noticed the same with another favourite Schokolade of mine, Ritter (Sport) (Slogan was "Quadratisch, praktisch, gut"). Can't eat it anymore.

Is it named Child's Chocolate in UK or is it still the German name?

It's Kinder worldwide (except here in the US because of course Kinder Surprises are LETHAL, unlike y'know, guns).

 

[PuB]

Kinder egg in the wrong hands though...

Imho there is a link between the ban of Kinder Surprise in the states and gang wars
