Mackie's Icecream

I love it. Forget all that Cornish and American stuff.

Used to get of cuts from the factory...

New flavours, ice-cream truffles, damaged goods (usually meant someone had knocked it on the flour, so the packaging was damaged), those were the days

Oddly enough, they now make crisps aswell.

Yup, So do I.

Also Rizza's of Huntly, both based in Aberdeenshire.

I really like Orkney ice cream. Its better than mackies in my opinion.

[OnTheOverrun]

Minghella, nothing else will do.

Especially Absinthe Sorbet, Kentucky Cocktail Cream, Plums and Armagnac and Vanilla fig with burnt sugar.

[Vespula]

Dammit...I went to Orkney two years ago and didn't try the flipping icecream!

[baptistsan]

Oh my God! I did not realise they did other flavours in addition to the Vanilla and Honeycomb. Where do I find the others?

[Loaf]

Alternatively, for some good English ice cream (we built a number of walls (no pun intended) to keep the rebellious Scots out) try some http://www.newforesticecream.com/index.html. The Honeycomb Swirl and Clotted Cream are my personal favourites; the latter I find best served with a slab of Dorset Apple Cake. Even more so when eaten on the green overlooking Christchurch Harbour, on a Sunday afternoon in late summer.

You only built walls because you couldn't handle the the better flavors off our ice cream

One of the Dive Boats I used to work on a bit had big tubs of Mackies lurking in the freezer, it never lasted long! ACE!

+1

Although Mackies honeycomb is rather pleasant

[AndyAudi]

I'm not a fan of their latest offering though, they seem to have brought out a larger (cheaper?) tub of something like the normal supermarket crap. Do not be taken in.

Noticed The original stuff on offer in Lidl a few weeks back
