American chocolate...whys it have to suck.
vicious796:
I think Hershey puts out some quality products. Nestle owns so many different "brands" (like Dove I think) who are also quality chocolate. I think it's mostly what you're used to, what's easily accessible, and THEN personal taste buds. If you grew up with American chocolate, given at every holiday, ever, you notice the differences (however small) foreign chocolates have.
I think other foods also play into this. How many Americans' favorite food is American style cusine? I know I prefer the various non-spicy Asian foods as well as Italian over meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

The most appreciated European chocolatiers have produced their chocolates since ≈1700 or so. They value tradition and their chocolate's taste was perfected during these hundreds of years. They know what they're doing. Best chocolate comes from Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, France and Poland. Almost all brands from these countries are excellent chocolates.

Just guessing, but you can probably blame this on the invention of milk chocolate, as well as differences in production standards for chocolate between the U.S. and other countries.
