Swiss Chocolate vs Mr Snob.

[mattbell]

I went to to the most famous chocolate shop in Zurich. The small chocolate truffles were excelleent, though no better than you could get at Cocoabella. In addition, their selection was much smaller than Cocoabella. Finally, they had very few bars on offer, and I was sad to see they were selling Lindt there. Lindt is decent, but there are far better brands. I did find a large gourmet supermarket with a better selection, but so far the best chocolate I've had is called Cafe Tasse, which I've found in Riga and nowhere else. It's a Belgian brand. (cue digression on Swiss-Belgian chocolate rivalry and much chocolate-eating)

The best chocolate bar I've had was from Spruengli in Zurich:

Of course, it comes from Criollo beans, so a bit more expensive.

At home, I've found that Trader Joe's sells a really cheap, decent dark chocolate. They've branded it, but it comes from Belgium.
