Do they have Cuban Lunch bars in the U.S. And why is it that although they are made on the South Shore, I could never find one in Montreal, but can get them at any Co-Op store in Calgary.
Cuban Lunch rules.
…Cuban LUNCH…wtf is CUBAN LUNCH???
my GF just came back from Canada w/about 50 or so assorted Canadian Candy bars…but not one called…Cuban Lunch…oh, and I gotta chime in re: coffee crisp, the originals ROCK!, but by mistake she bought a bunch of these triple choclate coffee crisp AND THEY SUCK! not NEAR as good as plain old coffee crisps…oh yeah and Aeros are too sweet by half, really a one-note chocolate snarfing experience…IMHO
A cuban lunch is a hunk of chocolate with whole peanuts in it. MMMMM, I haven’t thought of them for years.

“Cuban Lunch”–as long as Jesse Helms is alive, there is not a chance in hell that anything called that would be allowed into the States 
Mint Aero’s are absolutely beautiful. they have the aeroation down to an art. It suits the mint better than the plain.
And Canadian Smarties rock.
I stand corrected. I’ve never seen them in LA, though. They just must not have gotten to this corner of the country yet.
We have ketchup chips too!!
Duke,
See if an Italian place has zeppole. Fried dough, usually roughly golf ball sized, dusted with confectioner's sugar.....yum... especially at street fairs, popped up fresh and still warm...I second rjk’s ZERO suggestion. Belgian chocolate, if I’m not mistaken. Silky smooth. I think it’s basically the same chocolate as the one used in Polar Cups (well, at least that how we call them in Canada:)). Definitely go for the semi sweet.
Milk chocolate is NOT for true chocolate lovers:D.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That’s what I keep telling people, but they don’t listen! Milk chocolate is too sweet; the sugar and milk get in the way of the chocolate!
They all pale before Ganong’s Pal-o-mine bars. Seeing as they are made in a border town, I won’t get too nationalistic about them, but technically they are Canadian.
An Italian place? In Oxford? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Until two years ago, there wasn’t even a coffee shop in Oxford. Though that’s changed, the hunt for a decent, affordable restaurant continues.
Er, OK, just a decent restaurant. One that you don’t end up paying £30 ($45) for a dinner for two at, before drinks are included. Someday, it has to happen.
Come over to the NYC San Gennaro festival down in Little Italy next fall. We’ll split a bag.
