To think Ben and Jerry's ice-cream is crap

[squoosh]

I love ice-cream, we've always been good friends, hardly ever fallen out. We go through periods of losing touch but always get back together in the end. But I just have no love for Ben and Jerry's, any of their varieties. There's always too much going on. There'll be caramel, chocolate bits, marshmallows, brownie bits and God knows what else, plus it's too sweet. Their pudding is well and truly over egged.

For me there's little that can compare with a soothing scoop of Haagen Dazs strawberry cheesecake although my keen eye did spot that they've a new mint choc variety out. I'm saving up that encounter till I'm most in need of an ice cream fix.

Yanbu, Brucciani ice cream is the only one worty of mention, we're fortunate enough to have a Brucciani ice cream parlour a few miles up the coast, their hot fudge sundaes are to die for.

Close 2nd is McKays clotted cream ice cream and the lakeland cream one, don't need none of these fancy chopped up bits.

YABVU! I love B&J's! When we went to Vermont last year we went to the factory and I tried to have some everyday! They have a million (or so it seems) more flavours that here, creme brûlée or red velvet anyone? I can't wait to try Oh my!
Oh and I also have an ice-cream machine I love too!

Than here, sorry have ice-cream fingers!

Haagen daz has a creme brûlée flavour. Although real creme brûlée is a lot nicer. It's not supposed to be ice cold.

YABVVU!!!
Ben and Jerrys is the monkeys bollocks of all ice cream

YANBU. It's way, way too sweet. As is most Haagen Dazs. But then I'm very fussy about ice cream and only really like bitter chocolate or "natural" flavours.

It's over sweet, over sickly, nauseating and full of poor quality ingredients. I can't bear it.

YABU, ben and jerrys have Phish Food, officially the best ice cream in the world XD

Had a brief Love Affair with Phish Food 7 years ago.

YABU! We had the Karamel Sutra one for the first time yesterday and it is delicious.

Love the idea of people trotting off to Vermont on their hols to visit the home of Ben and Jerry's :) That's true love.

Reminds me of the Chinese tourists who have their photo taken at the Clark's shoe factory, wherever that is in the UK.

YANBU Luca of Musselburgh is the best ice cream.

YABU Phish food is the most amazing thing and now they do it in a frozen yoghurt variety so its practically one of my 5 a day...

Full Vermonty is back? I'm not fussed about the rest of Ben & Jerry's but I really like that one.

Nicest ice cream is Laverstoke Park licquorice. It sounds a bit but you'll have to trust me.

The only one I like is tge brownie choc yogurt yun

Oatmeal cinnamon was the best Ben and jerry's. Cant understand why they stopped doing it. Cherry Garcia a poor second.

YABVU to mention B+J when my freezer is empty and I'm in my pjs

Cherry Garcia

YABU. The Cookie Dough flavour is a guarenteed foodgasm.

I dont' really like any commercial ice creams that much, which is annoying. So cheap as chips ice-cream is pretty much as good as expensive stuff.

Are there any good ice cream "parlours" near you? Have you ever tried home-made, yum.

A new Nardini's has opened in Glasgow. I lick the wondow as I walk past but haven't yet sampled their wares. I think ice cream is the most efficient and tasty way to quickly consume 156,545,879,234 calories. I just find B&J an unsatisfactory way of doing this.

Lemon curd ice cream sounds nice. Nigella lawsons margarita ice cream is similar, but not one for the children. I think if you like lemon you will like nigella limey boozy ice cream too.

yabu.

Haagen Dazs tries to be sexy and grown up, when IMHO it's very boring.

Give me a tub of cookie dough or chocolate brownie B&J and I'm happy.

Ooooo, where's the nardini's in Glasgow. Now THAT'S the best ice cream. Fact

I love the brownie frozen yoghurt they do

Im on weight watchers so i love a scoop of that in a bowl with stawberries, blackberries and pomegranete. Heavenly and only 3pp

Tesco chocolate-salted caramel-hazelnut ice cream is nice.

Slightly, very slightly, too sweet. But only if I'm pretending I'm judging masterchef.
