Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As a British citizen living in America (and as a devoted chocaholic), I was intrigued to read (report, 11 October) about criticism from MEPs of British chocolate. Having been in England on holiday, I have just filled my suitcase with chocolates to take back to the States, for myself and my American friends who have requested favourites such as Cadbury's Fruit and Nut, Yorkie raisin and biscuit and Maltesers.
Many American friends agree that British chocolate is far superior to American chocolate such as Hersheys or Reeses, which is too sweet and is coated with a waxy substance to prevent melting, and far better than most European chocolate, especially Swiss or German, which is too sickly and sweet. One American friend pinpointed the very thing which the MEPs are criticising: the high milk content of British chocolate, which gives it a wonderful velvety texture
