Chocolate

Oh no! H1 has just shouted upstairs that Kraft has managed to buy Cadbury's- NNNOOO! I am a chocoholic- especially for Cadbury's Dairy Milk (in any shape or form eg the perk when clearing the Christmas decorations is being able to eat the Cadbury's decorations on the Christmas tree!or ending Lent with Cadbury's Easter eggs). I even signed a newspaper 'petition' requesting Cadbury's to stay Cadbury's- not Hersheys or Kraft.

For a big birthday D's 1,2,and 3 sent us off to Cadbury's World; a brilliant visit: I am so into fair trade yet hadn't realised Cadbury's have always been ethical in production so fairly traded long before every other company jumped on the bandwagon.

I am upset; why did the shareholders sell up what is so good and so English?- money and profit probably. What will happen to Bournville 'village' now? and the workers , many of whom have worked for Cadbury's for 5 generations?

  1. Hi Mrs. Haitch here, American chocolate is really 2nd class hope they dont change the recipe, I think most of it is made in Europe though not here in England. Hope you continue this Blog, tell D2 to write something on hers too. xxxx
