I still don't get your dismissive attitude towards carob, but then, I haven't lived through being ostensibly forced to eat it instead of chocolate. Maybe it was as bad as you claim it was.

If I'm ever in the US, I'm trying your local carob bars.

I'm pleased to report you'll have a hell of a time finding them.

I’ve literally never heard of this stuff until reading this thread and now my favourite baking site just posted a recipe with carob in the title. It seems it might be making a comeback.

Healthy Foods or Whole Foods section, right? Do you guys have those in them big malls? We have sections shared between special foods (for diabetics, for lactose-intolerant etc.) and those marketed as healthy and wholesome.
