Can't find the above in the UK so I settle for this.




A very distant UK third would be McDonlads McFlurries...yes I know, putting my coat on now.

It's a long bar with an open front. It is simply the best ice cream I have ever tasted, and during summer I virtually live on the stuff- 3 gallons a week isn't uncommon

Gallones - I'm not sure if it is just a Northampton thing, but it is also available at local Waitrose.

For those B & J fanboys, or should I say fans of that chemical international conglomerate Unilever, read this and see just what the so called ice cream actually is, or isn't. Our home made ice cream is milk/cream sugar vanilla and eggs. Thats it.

My banana icecream is full fat milk, cream, castor sugar, mashed banana and a shot of banana liquer to stop it going rock hard in the freezer.

Read what?

I don't really care what's in it. In reality everything is a "chemical" in some form. Ben & Jerry's tastes great and whatever ingredients are in it won't make any significant contribution to my death. Certainly no more than the refined sugar in your home-made ice cream, or the full cream with all its cholesterol. I'm sure your ice cream tastes fab, but I simply don't have the time or inclination to spend time making it myself!

And I love Ben & Jerry's new flavour :
