Here we have a new ice cream in town, its called Ben & Jerry's.

Some of you might be familiar with this brand it is in a very small container 450ml (1 pint) and it costs $12 a tub.

It is totally prohibitive in price given it's very small size.

I just bought this container:

Some might say this is the Rolex of ice cream

Don't get me wrong I love ice cream but at this price for this little........I (s)cream

At a recent GTG this was my desert:

It was vanilla with Mars Bar sauce....delicious

I am an ice cream freak.......how about you????

Love ice cream. Nothing better especially during the hot humid summers.

johnbeth · 26 April 2011, 10:00 PM

I love it too!

I can eat it by the truckloads...

MonBK · 26 April 2011, 10:00 PM

I like ice cream as well and B&J is not a bad one but far from being the Rolex of ice cream.

Personally I like Haagen-Dazs, Dryer's/Edy and Breyers better.

Now that I never knew Steve. Would have got some kulfi at the Indian restaurant when you were here. :)

You tried that?

I'm not a big ice cream eater have to say.....although we were at friends for lunch today and they had some home made for dessert which was delicious.....

Yes I have tried that Kalfi (Indian Ice Cream) it is typically home made and depending upon who makes it, it can be totally awesome.

Well I bought my first and quite possibly last tub of Ben & Jerry's of that phisch food flavour. I haven't tried it as yet...maybe tomorrow. I bet you don't pay $12 a tub

We only have 4 flavours here and frankly I can never see it taking off at that price, it is like 50% more expensive than any gourmet ice cream.

I do like a good quality ice cream and I love to eat it just as it is melting

it is a bad habit I know, so I'll just have to do a little more exercise tomorrow

MonBK · 26 April 2011, 10:12 PM

Do you have any of my suggestions Steve and if so how are they priced compared to B&J's?

Hargen Daas is the only brand I am familiar with the other two brands I don't know at all they are not available here.

Norgan Daas is a brand we have here most akin to Haagen Daas and it costs about $8 per litre compared to Ben & Jerrys at $12 for 473ml (less than half a litre).

Its amazing in the USA there is about 138 different flavours of Ben & Jerrys, quite a remarkable range, there is now way they could even fit a fridge that size in the supermarket here

It is very sweet stuff these gourmet ice creams so I can't eat much at any one time.

rsg · 26 April 2011, 10:22 PM

Mmmm.... Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

MonBK · 26 April 2011, 10:25 PM

In Europe there is a brand called GB who makes a Grand Marnier ice cream that is to die for.

Can't wait to eat it again.

mtrunner · 26 April 2011, 10:28 PM

I love Ben and Jerry's Cinnamon Buns ice cream. It is Caramel Ice Cream with Cinnamon Bun Dough & a Cinnamon Streusel Swirl. Their pomegranate sorbet is awesome as well.

No need to feel guilty my friend. Ice cream is one of my guilty pleasures, so I know....

figbo · 26 April 2011, 11:07 PM

I like icecream too,I just have to watch my figure!

O IS a figure,isn't it?

When the world ends, I want to be in Australia, as it appears that you're about 20 years behind the rest of us....

You're just now getting Ben & Jerry?

it is delicious indeed. I like Cherry Garcia and White Russian (although it appears it was discontinued

)

STEELINOX · 26 April 2011, 11:11 PM

I love B&J too but my cholesterol doesnt

But I am happy the rest of the world can enjoy

When i was in singapore, i was under the impression that ice cream wasnt very nice when compared to australia. However, when i tried haagen dazs (singapore), and havent looked back since.

until today, i still cannot find an ice cream that can compare to haagen dazs.

Ben & Jerry's rocks- I love the "Chunky Monkey" flavour!

I too enjoy Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I'm partial to Cherry Garcia(named after Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead)and right now I have Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. I will say that Starbuck's ice cream is really good as well!!!

I know what you mean Randy, ice cream is my VERY favorite desert but the cholesterol prevents me from keeping it in the freezer very often and when I do, it doesn't last very long.
