The Best Ice-Cream?

charlietheminxx

This sunny weather is makes me crave an ice cream - something like a cornetto would be lovely right now. Or a 99 - nom!

Had some of that new Ben and Jerries core stuff a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing!

But with all new types of ice-cream out there - I wanted to ask the good people of AH what you think the best ice-cream is, and why?

Fat Frogs were the best ever..

Now its Cookie Dough or Fairly Nuts from B&G

Oh man, Fairly Nuts is amazing. Shame it's one of their least stocked flavours - I have real trouble finding it anywhere.

+1 to both, but Feast beats them.

Didn't they have to take them off the market as they were deemed racist by the pc brigade? :pac:

Twisters used to be amazing, but then HB went and changed them a little bit a few years ago ....They're just not as green anymore!!

Endorsed. Although the other way round for me

And as soon as some whizz kid genius invents a spoon for Maxi Twists that don't break immediately on touching ice cream, they'll be in the top 3 too

Yeah they took the artificial colours out..... they look a bit pea-coloured now Still, they taste the same!

Also, you can't beat a proper '99 from an ice cream van. Delicious!

They changed the packaging in the 90's to take the gollywog off them but they are still sold today as "giant bars" if I remember correctly

Just a slab of vanilla ice-cream on a stick but man is it deliciously refreshing!

Someon mentioned a maxi-twist too, great shout!

I would've thought a Mr Whippy went without saying

Although you can argue syrup/nuts/sprinkes/flake etc I suppose

I'm a no flake, syrup kinda bloke

Dunnes do it and Tesco don't therefore I shop in Dunnes.

The difference is we sell Fairly Nuts

Häagen-Daz Vanilla ice cream especially the praline and cream so much better than Fairly Nutty, there I said it.

Good thing I'd only get something like that once in a blue moon if its on sale as its so calorific and small.. and delicious.

HB aint what it used to be, the Dunnes tub of Vanilla aint bad with a bit of meringue, I think its made in Ireland which is always a plus.

Can't even remember the thing itself I just remember having one and I must've been four or five, one of those childhood memories that stick in mind, but I think it was like one of the mars/snickers icecream bars. Chocolate and nuts. It got a couple of mentions on this thread..

Magnum Doubles are unbeatable in the ice cream field. Haven't had one in ages though because I'm more partial to a Porky Pig or a rocketpop

I just don't get kids these days..............:pac:

candy-gal1

brunch, super split, iceberger or choc ice are my main choices for a day like today
for an icecream treat indoors cant beat Neopolitan icecream, dont even know if they sell it anymore tbh, but one of my childhood and teenhood sweet treats was a big slab of that with some blackberries picked from my tree, sooooo yummy!

Aldi do this premium ice cream at the moment, it's mint and caramel flavoured.

I've eaten about 6 tubs of it in the last few weeks... :-(

Why did they do away with Fat Frogs.
