Switzerland has produced many of the chocolate industry's greats, including Rudolf Lindt, a Swiss-born chocolatier who invented the conche in 1879, a machine that forever changed the way the dessert was manufactured. Lindt still uses that technique to make the rich chocolate they produce today. Grab a bar, or 10.

巧克力工業的許多偉大人物都來自瑞士,這其中就包括盧道夫?林特,這個出生在瑞士的巧克力大亨於1879年發明了巧克力攪拌揉捏機,這種機器從此改變了巧克力的製作方法。至今瑞士蓮在生產香濃巧克力時仍然沿用這一技術。買一條瑞士蓮巧克力吧,或者買上個十條。

去歐洲旅遊最值得買的紀念品

Cadbury chocolate is available in the US, but the ingredients and the taste aren't the same. It may have more sugar than the British version, and isn't nearly as creamy or rich.

去買些吉百利著名的奶油彩蛋,或乾脆買一條巧克力;有很多口味都是英國獨有而美國買不到的。

Ireland: Whiskey stones

Instead of going for the more obvious bottle of whiskey, try whiskey stones, which are best known for their ability to keep a glass of whiskey at just the right temperature without diluting it (like ice will).

去愛爾蘭買威士忌還不如買威士忌冰酒石,冰酒石最廣爲人知的功效就是將一杯威士忌保持在合適的溫度而又不會像冰塊那樣沖淡它的口感。

Take a trip to Connemara on Ireland's west coast and you'll find stones made from the rare marble that exists only in that region of the country.

去愛爾蘭西海岸的康尼馬拉走一趟,你會找到只有在該地區纔有的罕見大理石做成的冰酒石。
