When I visited Canada I was surprised at how much better the chocolate, even the inexpensive mass-produced chocolate, tasted compared to comparable brands in the US.
I could be because Canada has tighter regulations on % of chocolate in their recipes, but today I learned it was probably also the lack of lead and cadmium: https://metro.co.uk/2022/12/29/hershey-facing-lawsuit-over-heavy-metals-found-in-their-chocolates-18012980/
@kyle Well, don't go to France... you would never be able to eat anything anymore in the US :)
@primalmotion My trips to France definitely ruined me when I come back to the oversized, dry pastries we pass off as croissants here in the US.
