Czech chocolate reviews

This page is one of a series of international chocolate reviews.

A. Opavia Fidorka

A big chunky round thing in foil: some kind of biscuit, perhaps? It is a large milk chocolate amulet with a strong coconut smell and the Fidorka logo embossed on the front. The texture inside is unexpectedly light and crunchy; it's basically coconut wafer in milk chocolate, but oddly reminiscent of eating Nutella on toast, right down to the bready taste. Rather strange.

B. Orion Lentilky

These "lentils" are Smarties — officially licensed from Nestlé, not an Eastern Bloc knock-off — and as such hardly need reviewing because we have all been eating Smarties since we were four. Not to be confused with the American Smarties that weren't.

C. Opavia Tatranky

This is huge and weighs almost nothing, so it's bound to be another horrid wafer concoction, isn't it? Yep, it's wafer all right, a ghostly white wafer with a cross-hatched pattern and dark chocolate around the outer edges. It's the size of an ice-cream sandwich, so quite generous. The wafer is in layers separated by dryish cocoa stuff. The best and most chocolatey of the 2008 crop of wafers, but still nothing great.

D. Orion Delissa

Another large wafer bar that looks like Viennetta from the packet. The multi-layered texture is softish and interesting, but the chocolate filling is not very good and reminds me of the centre in chocolate limes. Bearable.
