waxy and not particularly tasty. I did grow up in the UK and have 
numerous Swiss friends who sent chocolate on a regular basis, so 
perhaps that's why I never took to the US chocolate, Canadian too 
actually.

One tip - take lots of flights so you can buy decent chocolate 
from airport duty frees. Otherwise import the stuff, you know 
it would make sense to do so, either that or find a store that 
imports the good stuff. There must be some of them around in 
North America, right? Particularly in the major cities.

Tiffany:

B. T. McElrath is a nice gourmet chocolatier here in the Twin Cities 
area.  They're not too well known outside of Minnesota to the best of 
my knowledge because they've only got a few shops outside of the Twin 
Cities.  They make some real nice smooth & velvety chocolates, not 
like the typical candy bar stuff.  They ship to all over the USA, but 
don't know if they go overseas or not.  I've been to a few of their 
shops & haven't been disappointed at all by their products.
