[Food] Dubai Chocolate

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Suddenly everywhere. Flavour of the month, literally. And of course far from cheap

Sweet, sticky and sold out everywhere: why is there such a craze for Dubai chocolate?

The creamy pistachio bar is all over TikTok, but good luck trying to find it in shops. Connoisseurs, market-watchers and the woman who invented it discuss its sudden rush to fame

I had to find one last week and when I told her it was £10, I was told I shouldn't have got it. Think she got the Lidl price and the Waitrose bar conflated. No idea what it is like as she hasn't had it yet.

It's suddenly front and centre in all my local shops, all of whom have their own supply lines or maybe the same supply line aka the Cash 'n' Carry. £5.99

Presumably completely artificial with no natural ingredients.

Just had some brought back as a gift, very underwhelming. Pistachio paste wrapped in chocolate that tasted like it came off of an own brand choc ice.

Never trust chocolate bars from hot countries, there's a reason central and south Americans prefer to drink it and northern Europe is the chocolate confectionery centre of the universe.

Tik Tokkers seem like a stupid, easily led bunch don't they. I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say they are all thick twats.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

This next chocolate fad could be confectionery-defining.

Apparently some chocolate with nuts was found inside one of the Egyptian pyramids.

It's believed that it was the tomb of Pharaoh Rocher.

Apart from Toblerone, Lidl's chocolate is my favourite.

 

[Hovegull]

It’s okay. I quite liked the flavour. It’s not very sweet.

 

[A1X]

A shortage? So you're saying it's hard...Dubai?

So obs this was a male tomb with the chocolate. This must have been the Phrench Pharoah.

Available as an ice-cream flavour at Marrocco’s!

 

[The Clamp]

Mediocre.

Tried it a while back, before the internet addicted, Gen Z mob found it and creamed their panties. Now you can’t find it anywhere.

Don’t anybody tell them about Lindt balls.

 

[BevBHA]

Some inside knowledge for you next Monday 14th April, Dubai chocolate ice cream goes on sale in all Aldi’s… 128 units per store once it’s gone it’s gone, be quick
