The only ones left are the shit ones

[Chris in London]

Gold coins are the third best ones

Not even top ten.

the top three are the green solid chocolate oblongs, next the green triangles, then the orange octagons.

This is not even a discussion.

Last night my wife was telling me her mates just discovered tinder at 50 (messy divorce) & she’s getting nailed off 20 year old lads.

I said fucking hell, 1 swipe & they’ve ruined Thursday grab a granny nights. Won’t people think of the club promoters.

Love this.

You know that ‘six degrees of separation’ rule?

on blue moon we go from Quality Street to grab a granny nights in two oblique tangents.

I’d go caramel swirl, toffee finger, toffee penny as my three favourites.

I used to really like Quality Street but the copious amount of added palm oil impairs the flavour considerably. Never been the same since the days of Rowntree Mackintosh.

You would scoff anything you fat fucker. :)

Does most mass produced chocolate have this in these days? Things don’t taste as nice as they used to.

What happened to proper tins an all

You can get the proper tins but they're a couple of quid dearer.

Thorntons is probably the best bet for chocolate covered confectionary.
(A bit pricey but you get what you pay for...)

Found 2kg tin tins (not plastic) in Costco this year. Octagonal shape though so a **** to wrap.

What sort of person thinks Quality Street is an acceptable present ;)

 

[bluemoon32]

I like them all apart from chocolate orange sweets, only fucking heathens eat them

Not seen any mention of the Coffee Creams being shit, they’re the shittiest of the shit for me, mad that I have a Daughter who loves them and always says “baggsy all the Coffee Creams”, erm yeah ok darlin.

Yes mate. When Rowntree Mackintosh sold out to Nestle in 1988 they soon came up with a 'New Improved Recipe'! Mackies Quality Street were just that, quality. But Nestle reduced the chocolate content and added palm oil, hence the taste difference. Palm oil is in many processed foods because it's a cheap ingredient, certainly cheaper the cocoa.

Quality Street, of course.

We've got the gold coins left, and the blue rectangular ones that rip your fillings out.

Why do they bother putting them in?

love the toffee coins, and the toffee fingers and the blue ones of coconut fame and both the strwlawberry and orange creams

the rest I can give or take

 

[Tuearts right boot]

let's get back to reality....

Some evil bastard used to slip them in a bag of Revels when I were a lad.

 

[Bettys Bell]

Strawberry cremes who eats them. And there are always more of them than the triangles and fudges

Got to agree they are fucking rank and always left over when I was a kid. Think they came back into fashion with the younger generation. God I really am a FOC.

They along with the Orange creams are my favourite!
