No more phish food

[RumNotRun]

Ben & Jerry's have joined the nonsense and actually seem to support GLP 😲 Someone hasn't done their research. Thankfully the comments are overwhelming supportive of the SC judgment, but I really liked Phish food I've cream 😞

I've been off B&J for a few years now. I want ice cream, not "activism". Anyway, the ingredients creep me out. I have developed a very expensive habit of booja-booja's vegan selection. Absolutely divine, ingredients I recognise, practical if I've eaten meat (can't mix meat & dairy for cultural reasons), but about £5 a tub. A special treat... every other week.

I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker that makes excellent ice cream.

Very easy and delicious, and not full of shit like B&J (in every sense).

Ice cream maker

Just need to find somewhere that sells little chocolate fish.

LiDL do some exceptionally good dupes...

I’m going to make some chocolate ice cream, get some marshmallow fluff, dulce de leche and chocolate chunks and make my own version.

I’m going to call it Terph Food.

Yep, also haven't bought Innocent in years. Used to be a staple in our household.

As others have pointed out, it's unsurprising because the original Ben and Jerry were hippies from Vermont, USA ie hippie central, hence the flavour name Phish Food after the band. They sold out to corporate in the 90s so it's even more disingenuous, pathetic really.

Why do companies tie themselves down to ‘causes’? I can understand environmentally friendly products donating a bit towards the environment and giving you a short lecture about bees on the side of the yoghurt pot. But I wish I could just eat my ice-cream in peace. I need to find a decent recipe for hazelnut ice-cream. I tried a Magnum one - which was great, but a bit sweet.

I don’t understand why a ruthless business like Unilever allows the B&J company to get political.

this hazelnut recipe looks gorgeous

Ta! And the hazelnut looks lush.

The Hazelnut looks amazing, thanks @BlueEyedBogWitch

Damn. Love a cookie dough. Do they not KNOW who buys things in the supermarket?

Oh no!

Anyone know if Tunnocks freeze well?

Had the same thought.

No more Ben and Jerries for me.

🤣🤣🤣

Ooohhh Tunnocks ice cream, that would be the BEST Terf ice cream.

I'm actually eating my home-made icecream as I type: I use the base from this recipe, but instead of ginger I mixed it with peanut butter, chopped dark chocolate and pretzels.

No UPF shite, no shonky politics and no over-priced wankery.

Knock yourself out. You know there was never any limit on the amount of ice cream you can buy don't you?

Our house have been doing this for the same reason. Plenty of other good ice cream available.

That sounds amazing.

I tend to only do a quick cheat nowadays - keep a supply of frozen sliced leftover bananas, and blitz them with whatever yogurt or thick kefir I’ve got and either cocoa or cinnamon, and sometimes some almond butter. No UPF, no antagonistic politics, one of my 5 a day and maybe even some good bugs

Ooooh thanks for the inspiration Errol!

I do something similar -

6 bananas, sliced and frozen
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
3 tablespoons of good peanut butter

Blitzed in the food processor, it makes a very tasty sort of soft serve ice cream/chocolate pudding type thing.

DH assures me that all our ice-cream comes from the farm shop. Probably true as his dad is one of their major suppliers.

There’s lots of variations on ‘what shall I do with the leftover bananas I shoved in the freezer’.
