Where have I gone wrong?

[SockYarn]

Sitting at the dinner table and DD says, "mum, why do we never get push ice cream? Like Vienetta?"

You haven't gone wrong, it's nasty stuff and tastes artificial, she'll understand when she's older

Iceland are doing mini Viennetta on sticks....

You should buy one and act like it's the most delicious and decadent thing you've ever eaten. And watch her baffled and bemused face as she is eating the same thing.

@PomBearWithoutHerOFRS probably the most exciting news I’ve heard today. Tomorrow - I’m going to Iceland!

Send her round, I've got one in the freezer. I quite enjoy the fanfare of having to chop it up.

Eat a Magnum with a sad face while she has the Vienetta.

MINI VIENETTA ON A STICK!!!

Oh my word. We’re living in the future.

To be fair, if she’s never tried it she won’t know how naff it is. She’s just going off the fancy marketing

I remember having it as a kid but never again. I just have no desire/inclination so I’m guessing it’s not great.

Ooh we got this on birthdays when I was young. Happy innocent days when the loo was the toilet, the sitting room was the lounge and supper was tea. You’re making me nostalgic

I bought this for my daughter recently as it was in a co op frozen meal deal... she loved it. I however think it’s shit and will stick with my hagan daz salted caramel

Isn’t Vienetta that strange , non-dairy substance that doesn’t melt? I feel sure that , if you leave it out all day that it will still have substance.
Dare I say the hated MN phrase...’back in my day’ ... Vienetta was for poor people who wanted to feel posh? Much like Ferrero Roche .
( And yes , I ate buckets of both!)

I haven't had it in years but my memory of it is being very artificial. Was there a mint one or am i misremembering?

There was a mint one. It tasted like toothpaste.

Polpot, I hope you make sure to cut one too many pieces so that everyone can fight over the last one like in the adverts.

Mint belongs in mojito not vienetta🤮

Ooooh. Now i want some!

My children love vienetta too! So do I, brings back childhood memories. Might have to buy a Sarah Lee gateaux at some point too...

What was the one that had the biscuit at the bottom.

That one was the best!

Someone I know once saw a person walking down the street tucking into a whole vienetta like it was a sandwich or something I love this image!

Mate they're tiny now, they suggest 7 servings but i do one cut down the middle and that's for me and future-me.

Hate vienetta, but does anyone remember in the 1970s a 'posh' ice cream thing that was like mint ice cream in dark chocolate, in the form of individual 'chocolates'? Sort of like mint creams but made with ice cream. Always had a huge amount of packaging and very little in the way of actual food

Or am I imagining it ?

Walls Romantica was posher than Vienetta...

DD has totally been seduced by the marketing. She's 15 - and not daft - she knows that "posh" food generally means organic, known source, handmade, artisan.

Not churned out by volume by P&G in a factory. In my childhood the height of sophistication was Neapolitan ice cream in a cardboard wrapper.

I would much rather have a vienetta than a magnum tbh. Magnums are overhyped, overpriced and very mediocre.

But then I'd much rather have salted caramel haagen dazs than a vienetta. Also overhyped and overpriced, but far from mediocre. But give me the tubs, not the lollys.

Buy the poor girl one. They are usually only a quid.

We still like to indulge in the occasional Vienetta (we are a bit posh tho, don't try it if your not).

I am completely obsessed with Carte Dor coffee ice cream. It is ready to scoop straight out of the freezer, has these sugary little coffee bean things throughout and is more addictive than crack. Right up my straza.

Carte D’Or mint choc is lush.
