Chocolate, chocolate -some people would eat their Granny if she was called chocolate!

How do you know what I call my Granny?

That was just pillow talk, it wasn't supposed to go any further...

Eggs, digestive biscuits, and fruit when you think about it tbh. Sounds like something a very drunk toddler would conjure up.

Condensed milk, cream. (Unless you were talking about cheesecake) Do desserts have to complicated to be nice? Fruit crumble is one of the easiest desserts to make and I find it hard to beat.

Hande hoche!

Yep. It's become the generic term for cream cheese. There's no other brand that I know of anyway.

All the supermarkets have their own cream cheese.

Anyone who buys the product should be ashamed of themselves, it's not natural!

Yes we do and it is the predominate brand. I just wasn't sure if this was a Kleenex versus tissue or Hoover versus vacuum type thing or not.

Just don't call it a Philly or you'd be referring to this:

Which oddly enough doesn't use cream cheese.



Today is such a nom nom nom day!

1 of my favourite sandwiches is strawberry jam and fried egg with soft yoke, but I now think this could be a new product to try with my fried egg.

God made Adam and Eve, not Chocolate and Cheese

I feel sick at the very thought of it.

I've had it a few times and it tastes the same as chocolate spread, with the same consistency too.

But I always pause slightly before eating as I can't stop thinking that it's cheese.
I generally don't like most cheeses, and the thought of is never pleasant, for most people I imagine.

Just the word is nasty.

"Cheese."

They should just call it "Philadelphia Chocolate Spread," and not give people thoughts of chocolate and cheese together.

I opened the tub..

dipped my finger in..

and finished off the tub with my finger.

sticky fingers, but it was worth it.

Just tried some there. I hate Philadelphia, but do like chocolate.

I would eat a tub of this with a spoon, and nobody would be able to stop me.

Mucky.Bucky

I never had it but it sounds like chocolate cheesecake in a tub.

I think it is here. Like you'd see recipes saying Philadelphia instead of cream cheese.

If it tastes like chocolate cheesecake, then is putting it on toast not slightly wrong?

I have some in the fridge, but after reading this thread I really don't know whether to eat it with ice cream or smoked salmon.

It's because Kraft bought Cadbury and had to merge their main products to pretend it wasn't just an asset stripping takeover!!

Sounds like a spreadable turd.

Like that hasn't been done a hundred times before. :rolleyes::D

Don't even know why anyone would think it's weird. Cream cheese is bland and can go with either sweet or savoury and it's a common ingredient in a multitude of desserts.

Dudess

Yeah cream cheese works well when sweetened. As icing on carrot cake and cupcakes - yum.

Someone needs to throw a poll on this thread.

Well, yes - it was the first cream cheese brand in the USA, named after the city where it was created in 1880. Since Kraft now own Cadbury's I suppose it was inevitable they'd put them together at some point.

I got a tub a couple of weeks ago (€1 at Tesco) and it was OK on rye bread, but nothing spectacular. Chocolate doesn't automatically mean "sweet stuff" - for example, I've chocolate stout beer before, in London.

Irish Guitarist

I bought a tub. It's nice on cream crackers.

Eat it on a digestive for an instant mini chocolate cheesecake.

Do you have plain bagels or croissants? You can smear a bit of cream cheese on them and then a bit of strawberry jam. Quite lovely.

You can also make a lovely fruit dip or a charlie brown pie. Mmm...

It sounds like dung tbh. And as for Nutella....I`d rather eat a jar of shite.

nothing worse than watching someone eating a Nutella sandwich and all the bits of bread and chocolate getting stuck in their teeth.had a friend in school ate it constantly, put me off it for life

Killer Wench

Whoops... y'all don't have graham crackers over there, right? I remember looking at Tesco but never found them.

If you got some, you could mix cream cheese, graham crackers, and peanut butter to create a pie crust, then whip up some chocolate pudding, and top off with some whipped cream.

Tada! Charlie Brown Pie.

Graham crackers are the same as Digestive biscuits.

Well, more or less.

No really. They were originally the same biscuit but the American pallet has become incredibly sweet and GC biscuits became sweeter and sweeter over the years to accommodate that whereas Digestives stayed more or less the same.

But, that's like saying Coke and Pepsi are the same thing considering that they were both carbonated beverages made from the kola nut.

Well they are both cola. Even Samuel Graham described his crackers as a digestive biscuit on his advertisements of them. They are just different brands of the same thing. If you eat different brands of digestive biscuit here they all taste somewhat different too. They are just different brands of the same product. Here there are lots of brands of the same type of biscuit, with McVities probably dominating the market, while in the States Graham Crackers dominate the market.
