Looking back at 35 years or so of SDI, at least we got some entertaining movies out of it.

Easy mistake to make given what most Russian chocolate probably tastes like.

Ankh-Morpork people, said the guild, were hearty, no-nonsense folk who did not want chocolate that was stuffed with cocoa liquor and were certainly not like effete la-di-dah foreigners who wanted cream in everything. In fact, they actually preferred chocolate made mostly from milk, sugar, suet, hooves, lips, miscellaneous squeezings, rat droppings, plaster, flies, tallow, bits of tree, hair, lint, spiders, and powdered cocoa husks. This meant that, according to the food standards of the great chocolate centers in Borogravia and Quirm, Ankh-Morpork chocolate was formally classed as “cheese” and only escaped, through being the wrong color, being defined as “tile grout.”

Buford Highway Farmers Market has aisles devoted to pre-packaged comfort foods by country. the Russia/former-SSR aisle had a bunch of chocolate so I bought several. it all was like hard wax with a faint taste of something burnt, with as little sugar added to cut the burnt flavor as possible.
there was nothing remotely enjoyable about eating it. Palmer easter chocolate is comparatively closer to Godiva than any of it was to Palmer.
