> Toblerone Milk as it can be bought here has only 5.6 gramms of protein per 100 gramms. A good milk chocolade should have at least 7 gramms of protein per 100 gramms (aim for 8 gramms if possible).
Could this be explained by the fact that the bar contains other stuff like nougat? They very well might be using "good milk chocolate", but if there's also nougat in there and it has low protein, then it's going to drag down the overall protein ratio.
it is… though that bar is really so rock bottom low that it doesn't mean much. In fact, to come think of it, Hershey's chocolate is so abysmally disgustingly bad that I can't think of any chocolate that wouldn't be better.
There was a Soviet chocolate bar fortified with cow's blood, but I've never tasted one. A colleague couldn't remember the taste, as there was so little 'real' chocolate to compare it with in his childhood.
yikes that sounds disgusting. That being said - and while I would, on a philosophical level (being a vegetarian), probably even prefer to eat Hershey's rather than Hematogen, I have no doubt that from a purely gustative point of view (i.e. if I were to taste both in a blind test of different "chocolates"), even that Hematogen would taste better than Hershey's.
Hematogen may contain cow blood (which is disgusting if you know what it is you're eating), but Hershey tastes like what I would otherwise only imagine cow vomit to taste like. And one doesn't need to know what's inside to sense the taste.
Spotted the non-American! We love our Hershey's, butyric acid and all. European milk chocolates lack complexity IMO. It's akin to claiming Kraft Singles are a better cheese than Parmigiano Reggiano because they don't taste "like vomit".
