Ice cream

[GoogaMooga]

I am sick of Ben & Jerry's. At least the few flavors we can get here. They put too much cake in the mix, you can hardly taste the ice cream. And yet it's the most expensive ice cream on the market. No, give me Hansens any day. Hansens is not just the best ice cream you can buy in Denmark, it is the ONLY good ice cream on sale here. The flavors are very basic, but you can get red currant, which is quite unusual and very tasty. Gone are the days when I could get New York Butter Pecan, my all-time favorite flavor. Haven't tasted that one since 1978-79, when we shopped at the American Commissary in Tokyo. I used to love ice cream as a kid. But ironically, the few times I have found decent ice cream here in Denmark, it has just made me more unhappy with the general selection. Once you've had gourmet ice cream, it's very hard to go back and find any pleasure in bog standard skimmed milk vanilla flavor ice cream.

Being lactose intolerant since my early thirties, ice cream was totally absent from my mind for a couple of decades at least. But now lactose-free ice cream fairly widely available. It's not as good as the "real" stuff of course but it does very well by me. It's a major treat. Better than most sorbets unsurprisingly.

When I was a kid I used to freak over those soft ice cream dipped in chocolate things that would run down your hands melting. Couldn't get enough. Haven't had one of those in, what, more than 40 years or so?

We don't have Dairy Queen in Denmark, but the chocolate-dipped soft ice cream is popular here. I remember Dairy Queen in Tokyo; I'd always order a "Blueberry Blizzard". Their trademark was Dennis the Menace, very cool detail, very significant.

I have got the Ice Cream for Crow T-shirt, and was once complimented for wearing it by a total stranger that I met in Berwick Street. Could only have happened in Berwick Street, that sort of thing.

Cake? To hell with that.
One prefers Cherry Garcia!

Which we can't get here. The range here is very limited.

Current fave....no Haagen Dasz or Ben & Jerry here.

[GoogaMooga]

I was once told that the name Haagen Dazs was chosen, because it sounded Dutch/Danish.

[naughty boy]

Yes. But it's completely meaningless, doesn't come from
real name or anything (I taught a HD fella in Madrid many years ago who told me)

Cherry Garcia and my other fave, Chunky Monkey, haven't been seen here (by me, at any rate) since the 2000s. Just Phish Food and that cookie dough crap.

It was meant as a tribute to the Danish as a tribute for their excellent treatment of Jewish refugees during the second World War.
The name is gibberish indeed but sounded 'good'.

That’s unacceptable.
I’m not. Ben & Jerry’s true believer or anything but if it’s there, I’m having Cherry Garcia.
I used to be into New York Superchunk or whatever it was called but you don’t hardly see that anymore.

Totally agree, Cherry Garcia is the business and is my goto ice cream, I try to keep at least a small one in the freezer for emergencies.

Still have Superchunk here but I'm out of the store bought ice cream except maybe Breyers Butter Pecan or a Belgium chocolate.
These days don't eat ice cream much but when I do its a local ice cream shop anywhere from central Penn to Maine.
Usually funky flavors but I'm always a fan of Moose Tracks, Belgium Chocolate with nuts and when in season Maine wild blueberry ice cream.

The Italians may have invented ice cream (gelato), but the Americans are ice cream champs. I can only dream of some of the flavors mentioned here.

[The Modernist]

Ben and Jerry's is mainly rubbish. It's all salted caramel here now in the UK, practically all you can find!
Waitrose do some nice flavours though, I'm partial to their lime and coconut ice cream.

[Walk In My Shadow]

We never had Cherry Garcia over here and that's the only one of B&J's I'd like to taste.

Damn!

[pcqgod]

I don't mind it as a treat from time to time but I could probably live without it.
