Well apparently this one's about chocolate.

Good grief, the Italians should destroy this stuff themselves! I mean, come on, the biscuits of Mulino Bianco are excellent! There must be some GOOD chocolate from Italy?!

I lived in Italy as a child, and I'd protest that most the chocolate you've mentioned is pretty awesome, and yes, Mulino Bianco is the real deal.

There most certainly is, floor-shakingly good stuff, can't recall the damn brand though.
Small makers, as already discussed, often dominate, whatever country - in Amalfi I had some stunning milk & dark chocolate spoons. Top stuff.

Ferrero, awesome??? Confused

Well, I can't say I rejected Kinder eggs when I was given some, but, now, speaking as an adult, my taste has evolved and I can't bear this stuff anymore.
But, thinking about it, it's milk chocolate that I can't stand anymore.

Oh, and the Belgian chocolate is overrated. Stern Smile

Yup.  I've been known to put on some fudge or caramel and then microwave the bowl for a few seconds to start the meltingLOL

Rocking-hard frozen ice cream is much more annoying - and waaaaayyy much more disturbing, if you ask me.

It's easier when it's got a lot of stuff in it (nuts, fruit chunks, etc.).
