info for veggies/vegans regarding chocolate
whisky-dave
Because the company masterfoods, has started using animal products and
their chocolate is no longer veggie friendly, and of course they aren't
exactly going to shout it out from the roof tops.
Basically they are using the extraction of rennet from the stomach lining of
young calves
because it's cheaper than using the veggie alternatives.
Popular products are maltesers, snickers, mars, twix etc...
This of course could just be the UK side of the 'pond'
but if this sort of thing concerns you check it out before consuming.

Didn't Masterfoods do a very rapid u-turn on this?

etc trade.

Just to note that almost all Walls products =re also not suitable for
vegetarians. A email campaign aimed at Cadbourys got them to change to
vegetarian sources maybe Masterfoods and Walls will do the same if
pushed.

I thought there would be a market for chocolate covered meat and I was
right:

Bacon candy bar

Vosges Haut-Chocolate offers a milk chocolate bar laced with smoked
Applewood bacon bits.
From the product description:
Crisp, buttery, compulsively irresistible bacon and milk chocolate
combination has long been a favorite of mine. I started playing with
this combination at the tender age of six while eating chocolate chip
pancakes drenched in maple syrup. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid
three strips of fried bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of
maple syrup. Just a bite of the bacon was too salty and yearned for
the sweet kiss of chocolate syrup. In retrospect, perhaps this was a
turning point, for on that plate something magical happened: the
beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would
haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it--chocolate.

I like bacon, I like chocolate, but that just sounds nasty.

I wonder if a 'Big Mac' would taste better with a square or chocolate
rather than cheese, or would it be possible that it'd make it taste of
anything :)
