Boycott Cadbury!

Anyone been following the salmonella story?

yeah - that's crazy... But you'll never pry that fruit and nut and caramello bars from my hands...

And if Easter comes around without Cadbury Eggs, I'll be upset.

yeah go figure that those chocolate eggs with their raw looking runny goo would have salmonella... pretty ironic eh?

Cadbury chocolate has never been on my favorites list anyway. It's much too sweet. Ritter Sport makes some very edible chocolate bars-- the dark chocolate with hazelnuts is to die for.

Reminds me of the Monty Python "Crunchy Frog" routine.

I hear chocolate covered salmonella is a delicacy in some countries.

I'd rather eat Cadbury chocolate than support Nestle who are doing smaller chocolate companies out of business - and besides, those Creme Eggs are gorgeous!

Plus Cadbury's is British, so I feel I have a duty to support them (as I no longer have a football team to support )
