Bounty Bars

[Tropicalevo]

For those of you who fancy a little nostalgia, Tesco Lotus Chewang are selling Bounty Bars - both plain and milk chocolate.

Mind you - they are a lot smaller than the ones that I remember

Both Hob Nobs and Chocolate Digestives (Milk & Plain) were in stock yesterday at Big C.

Big C had Bounty, Lion Bars, Milky Way and Rolo a few weeks ago but no more in stock since early November.

Tops in Chewang has McVities digestive biscuits most of the time (chocolate and plain). Not cheap! We have just finished the ones we bought ealier in the week.

Be careful with Cadburys chocolate. The stuff sold in Thailand is usually made in Malaysia. Different recipe to the REAL stuff - made in Birmingham, UK.

The Malay stuff is OK (tropical recipe) but the UK recipe is the dogs bollloxxx (more milk).

If you want to know the difference, come and visit. We still have a bar or two from when 'mission control' went back to the UK

God dam_n you, you claim to be having a thanksgiving supper in bubbas, all to throw us off the scent of the pickled onion monster munch holy grail available in bangrak. Hats off to you, you should be the next bond!

Haven't been to Tops in about 3 years... too over priced and not worth the effort to get there!!! I would not remember how to find it, even if I wanted too!!!

Yes, Canadian Cadbury Chocolate was not same same either, .... as the real McCoy, ... too sweet !!! I always remember some one telling me the Brits have a more "mature taste" so I know the difference.... thanks anyway!!!

I think I remember reading somewhere that the Malay version is made to make it more heat resistant, developed in Oz or Kiwi land if I remember.. .... ..

but they tried to re-invent Marmite too ... sorry Rooo and anyone else from down under!!!

One day, soon I hope, I'll get to the member who brought some chocolate back from UK,..... but he's not easy to get hold of !!! ..... it's going to be very matured soon ....

If I remember correctly Big C price was 94 baht for digestives, and Tesco 149 baht.... usually not such a discrepancy in prices on most things....Big C Chocolate ones smaller packet 64 baht, if memory serves~~? never seen in Tesco...

choc digestives thb 64 choc hob nobs thb 74 hob nobs are in a bigger box and they are made in the uk

Don't forget what happened to Winnie the pooh when he raided Rabbit's larder:)

The Digestives and Hob Nobs, at Big C are not in their usual isle .... They are in a display in the centre isle.... near the knickers and stuff!

I had to ask a girl their three times to show me, she happened to be packing some in a gift basket, so I was able to point to what I wanted.... she pointed vaguely over there twice ... the third time I made her show me! !!!

For those who like Seriously Cheddar Cheese they have some of those 2 for one now... several types

I had forgotten Tropicalevo said Bounty's and Rolo were at Tesco.... I thought there had been a mutiny and the Rolos' had rolled off the shelf overnight !!!! .... cos "no have" at Big C!

You need better glasses - I picked up the last 6 milk chocolate bars this morning. There are still some plain chocolate ones left though.

[Rooo]

Don't blame me.

I know that the topic was originally Bounty Bars (made by Mars), but to try and explain why the Malay recipe for Cadbury's is not the same - look at

http://www.telegraph...y-Cadburys.html

Apologies to the non-chocoholics out there

[watcharacters]

it's been a while. forgot all about Bounty Bars.

[cheeryble]

Wow it's been years....decades.....plain chocolate Bounty bars.

I don't need to buy them, the memory is perfect I am tasting them now, feeling the texture and the way the bits stick in your teeth, it's happening now......

[Rooo]

Bounty @ Tesco's made in Germany.All of my 38 wrappers say the same.

[NanLaew]

There was mention in the food forum a few weeks ago, that Cadbury's was back in Thailand.... slooooow on getting to Samui!!!

Yes, but where does the Cadbury's available in Thailand come from? If it's under license from a Malaysian factory, it is awful. In Malaysia, they sell the watery version made under license in Australia which is just as bad. So far locally, I have only found genuine British-made Cabdbury's in Vietnam.

Sorry - but the Thai Cadbury's is from Malaysia. Not the 'real thing'

The Bounty Bars were good quality though - as Rooo said. Made in Germany. I did not manage to eat 38 bars, and I only have 7 bars left! Let's hope that Tesco get some more in.

Bounty made in Germany ??? yiks!!! .....what's the world coming too? I guess that's one of those EU things... The Eurobrats hard at work again!

I remember a few years back they were talking about making HP sauce in France.... and nearly causing a revolution ... did that actually happen?

Now everyone knows why I stock up on the Tesco Dark chocolate when it comes in, at least that is quite palatable! ..... but I would not mind the "special version" Cadburys makes for Q E 2!

In Malaysia, the varieties of Cadbury bars boggles the mind, but agree not same same as the real thing!

Good thing Hershey did not take over Cadbury, that got to be the worst chocolate made.... I know Americans don't thing so... but.....

.... I'd better go hide now .....

[angiud]

I could add Nutella. The local one, made by Ferrero Australia, has nothing to compare with the European, probably made in Italy, taste and texture.
