30 Apr 00 - 03:33 AM (#220300) Subject: Kit Kat UK vs US From: Rob the Ranter Has any one besides me compaired British and American Kit Kat's. the package differences are obvious but Nestle Makes the Bitish Version whereas Hersheys makes the American. The American ones taste somewhat waxy compared to their British counterparts and I find the caramel flavour far more pronounced in the latter. Also the the centre waffer has a more substantial texture in the British version. Has any one else made these observa |

It is difficult to find any manufactured food in our supermarkets now which does *not* have the Nestle logo. |

01 May 00 - 02:01 AM (#220656) Subject: RE: BS: Kit Kat UK vs US From: Rob the Ranter Sorry I know this has absolutly nothing to do with music I was just overcome with thoughts food after reading the lengthy thread on Marmite. I work for a winery and have worked in kitchens as a cook so I am way to concerned with concerns of the palate for my own good. I promise to be a more Conscientious "Threaddie" in the future and stick to apropriate topics. Heggie |

Have a look at the Lapsang Souchong thread about tea drinking for another food thread. Then there was the Tim Tam (Australian chocolate biscuit) thread. We also had the corn dodger(?) thread, the Mudcat recipe book thread ..... the list goes on and on. Kit Kats in Australia used to be made by Rowntree and are probably made by Nestle now, so they probably taste much the same as the UK version. Cadbury's chocolates have recently launched a competitor product called Breakaway here - very nice, but still too sweet for my taste. Helen |

Was absolutely fantastic, but still don't remember any caramel......? LTS |
