Im not a fan. Am I just weird or does anyone else not like it? Im not a food snob or owt - I could (pretty much do actually) live off microwave burgers, chips, chicken nuggets, crisps and haribo, all washed down with copious cans of lager, but I just don't like chocolate.

You are not alone !
I used to love chocolate as a teenager and into my early twenties, but I had a serious illness when I was 24 and ever since then I can't abide the stuff. I can't even stand the smell of it.
(Since my illness I can't eat the rest of the stuff you mentioned either !)

I like Plain Chocolate but not much for Milk. White Chocolate is just wrong.
Had a discussion at work the other day with someone who hadn't a clue what Plain Chocolate was.

Used to gorge on Galaxy and chocolate orange as a kid but one day (aged 16/17) I gave up chocolate, sweets and fizzy drinks and haven't missed them at all. I do however eat a section/block of dark chocolate every day as a "treat"

You dont actually live off this stuff do you? I had a spell in my early 20s where my diet was awful. Try eat healthly now as i get reflux. Do have treats everyone now and then. A bar of Bournville once a week is my choc treat.

Don't think I've touched chocolate for some 20 years now. I love a piece of cake now and then but trying to find something not infected with chocolate is getting more difficult.

Breakfast bars, cereals, cakes and biscuits....... Everything with 'choc chips'. Who asked for this crap to be added to otherwise healthy food?

I was out walking a month or two back and called into a café. There was a nice looking piece of cheesecake and when I dug into it some moron had used a chocolate base

There was a nice looking piece of cheesecake and when I dug into it some moron had used a chocolate base It's in everything isn't it. Why is it so necessary for what seems like almost every cake or pudding to be made with "delicious chocolate", "luxurious chocolate", "creamy chocolate", "rich chocolate" or any other description or type of the stuff. Me and the missus were in a cafe recently and all the cakes included chocolate. When I asked for an alternative the only offer was a fruit scone. Us non-choccies must be in a tiny minority. Catering for the masses !

Love all sorts of choc and could eat mountains of the stuff (but usually try to exercise willpower and keep off it as much as I can), but can't have even a tiny, tiny bit of plain choc.......... can't touch it at all - it's an instant migraine trigger. Don't much care for Galaxy or Thorntons choc - too sickly. Can still eat it if there's no other sort available, though. Lindt (Swiss) choc is scrummy + those Guylian Belgian Chocolates in the shape of sea-shells. And Toblerone, and Cadbury's Creme Eggs…... How long to go until Easter?

I like the orange chocolate counting towards the 5-a-day thing. I'm the same with the lemon slices in G&Ts.

I like chocolate, and by that I mean I will eat it, but I never ever crave it, like these chocolate addicts who end up eating 4 big bars of Galaxy on a Friday evening. Because of that, I end up never eating it really.
I much prefer crisps, salted popcorn, savoury snacks. Sweet things aren't really my thing, although I don't mind the occasional treat.
