For what it's worth, at least some of the merch (what the original post was referring to) is definitely British...they have cadbury flake bars, which are British. I didn't study the rest of the offerings, but decent odds British stuff is at least a substantial portion, if not all.

Does British candy get angry if you call it Irish?

For what it's worth Cadbury has factories in the US and England and Ireland among others. Their best chocolate is made in Ireland and no, british candy does not get angry when it is called irish because they were not occupied by the irish for 600 years. You asked....

(By the way, for those that have been to the place in Clarendon... I am now curious about some of the bars which carry what appears to be Arabic script... wonder if some of them are sourced from Arab speaking countries????)

Sometimes I wish I had lobster claws made out of chocolate instead of hands so I could eat them and then they would grow back and I could eat them again.

Ever since this incident you've taken every opportunity you can find to go out of your way to say something negative about Restaurant Eve, its proprietors and their efforts. Most recently here. Your animus is obvious. Are you in the pay of some competitor?

It sounds like Mr. BLB will be happy to know that Coffee Crisp is now available in the US. We noticed it yesterday in Buffalo And then I find this. http://coffeecrisp.org/

Apparently there are several stores in the VA/MD area that are selling them now.

If you don't want to look for them, here's an online place to get candies/chocolate from all over the world.

The internet really is such a strange place

I had meant to look for them when I was in NYC last year and completely forgot.

based on a review of the current cadbury inventory in my house

I have no home inventory to check their source (long term survival is rare in my care). I'll look closer next time.

It's a different bar from the Cadbury bar available in the United States. According to the label, a British Cadbury Dairy Milk bar contains milk, sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, vegetable fat and emulsifiers. The version made by the Hershey Company, which holds the license from Cadbury-Schweppes to produce the candy in the United States under the British company's direction, starts its ingredient list with sugar. It lists lactose and the emulsifier soy lecithin, which keeps the cocoa butter from separating from the cocoa. The American product also lists "natural and artificial flavorings."

Tony Bilsborough, a spokesman for Cadbury-Schweppes in Britain, said his company ships its specially formulated chocolate crumb — a mash of dried milk and chocolate to which cocoa butter will be added later — to Hershey, Pa. What happens next accounts for the differences.

"You get in these religious arguments with people," he said. "I haven't met a Canadian who likes a Hershey bar, but Americans think you're crazy when you say that, because they think everyone loves a Hershey bar."
