Israel has good chocolate.
You hear about the violence, the women, the occupation and the blooming desert - Much gets said about Israel, but not a lot of people talk about the candy.
Well, the Elite company makes some wonderful chocolate, and my favorite candy bar is called Mekupelet, which predates but is very similar to Cadbury's Flake.
It's an ugly candy bar, but if you can get your hands on a fresh one (or many), it could change your life, or at least your preceptions of Israelis.
Here is an in depth analysis, albeit imperfect, of Mekupelet and Flake.

I used to think chocolate is chocolate. Now I've begun to appreciate the nuances. Starbucks had a drink called the Chantico they claimed was a sweeter version of the ancient Aztec drink. It's no longer available because it was too decadent for most, but I'll never forget the flavor of one hundred chocolate bars distilled into a little cup. -- Chris L.
