How accurate is this? from Switzerland

  1. Well, this might come over as unpopular in Belgium, but…

    “Belgian” chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut (“Home of the best Belgian chocolate”) is actually based in Zürich, Switzerland. [[Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Callebaut)]

    What the video pictures is thus a fight between Swiss and… Swiss.

    Which is normal 🙂

  2. Inaccurate, Swiss and Belgian are too strongly allied by their detestation of the French to battle over chocolate.

  3. I am Belgian living in Switzerland and to me it’s 50/50 > I prefer Swiss milk chocolate and Belgian dark chocolate

  4. Belgium has the best chocolate in the EU, Switzerland has the best chocolate in the world. No need to fight.

  5. It is honestly just the Belgian that try to say their chocolate is better, but everyone know it is not.

  6. Both have awful mass produced crap, but both also have great artisanal stuff. Belgians are more original and dare to experiment more than Swiss (pepper, chili, aromatic herbs…)

  7. Well we swiss ppl have more important fights. Like fighting with each other which Kanton (state) is the best (it‘s Bern btw fuck all others)

  8. Belgium has the better chocolate, especially the darker ones. Switzerland has the better praliné/confiserie stuff, but our chocolate isn’t bad by any means… As a matter of fact even Migros Budget chocolate is wayyyyy better than average or even good chocolate you’d find in the US, which says a lot about both Swiss and Belgian chocolate.

  9. We, Belgians, use chocolate to produce electricity 😉

    (article from today, translated with google…)

    Chocolate with salmonella from Callebaut in Wieze gives more than 300 families green electricity for a year

    The salmonella-contaminated chocolate that comes from Barry Callebaut’s factory in Wieze is distributed over various biogas installations in Flanders. The high-fat chocolate is processed into green energy. Every 3 tons of chocolate processed can supply a family with gas and electricity for a whole year. At least 1,000 tons of chocolate has been disposed of at Barry Callebaut, which means that more than 300 families can live off the energy from chocolate for a year.

  10. Pretty much every invention that relates to chocolate happened in Switzerland (milk chocolate, conching, milk soluble chocolate…) did the Belgians come up with something?

  11. Well 100% inaccurate, swiss people don’t fight.
    We don’t care about anything like what someone said or the cloth someone is wearing at the point that we rejected to ban Nazi symbols or salutes, why? Cause we don’t care

  12. I really “fought” with a Belgian girl whilst my langue stay in France because I had bought Coté d’Or Chocolate and in my opinion it tasted cheap and bad like low quality chocolate you get in advent calendars and I told her that Belgian chocolate was nothing in comparison to Swiss chocolate and to bury the hatchet (and to persuade her) I gave her Lindt chocolate I had brought from home.

  13. As a native from one of those two countries I’d say it’s obvious who has better chocolate.

  14. Swiss people here.

    What chocolate brand is your favorite or you would recommend as quality brand?

  15. Idk, I find Belgian chocolate to be overly sweet most of the time.

    Also, I don’t think anyone else can make chocolate as creamy as the Swiss can
