I jest. I prefer the style of a well-made British sausage to the (generally) much denser German style, but that is probably upbringing (and the inability to resist a bad pun) as much as anything. I did have a German sausage in Switzerland once which was very bizarre though - as well as the meat, there was an even distribution of gristly pellets (about the size of lead shot), that were clearly intentional, but which I found to be scarcely edible.

(I don't know if you've ever watched any of the classic British political sit-com Yes, Minister/Yes, Prime Minister, but there was a wonderful episode wherein a German EEC (as it was then) proposal was put forward to ban British sausages on the grounds that their ingredients were not up to standard. They wanted them renamed as "fatty offal-tubes" or something... but I digress)

Cadbury's chocolate is much lower in cocoa-solids than continental European chocolate, but it's not rubbish. It's just a different style, that does not conform to your own taste expectations (or indeed gastronomically elitist tendencies)!
