As I am on holiday........

[KayleeUK]

......and I am bound to have an ice cream at some stage this week, I have a question...

What is your favourite ice cream, lolly etc?????

Well, for me it has to be a coffee flavoured ice cream. I also love Baileys flavoured too......How about you????

 

[natalielongstaff]

ooooooh baileys ice cream,ive not had that for ages

i am gonna have to get some now

 

[Minniespal]

If I am not on a diet then it would defo be banana. Since I am watching the pounds then it is Skinny Cow Cookies and Cream.

Have you taken a little break from your diet this week Kaylee since your on hols

 

[catherine]

My favourite is peanut butter and chocolate, and seeing as I am also trying to lose weight, I don't get to eat it too often!

Minniespal, could you please tell me where you buy the Skinny Cow Cookies and Cream. TIA

Do you guys have the same ice cream flavors over there as we do here? Does it taste the same? I've always found it a little bit embarrassing that we'll have an entire aisle/bank of freezers just for ice cream in our supermarkets.

Hello!

Steph, you guys definitely have a much better selection of ice cream than we do in supermarkets - but we are getting bettre I think. What we do have (usually in seaside towns) are little shops that sell individual portions of icecreams (usually on a cone) that can have hundreds of different flavours.

The best shop like this I ever found was in Nice (in the South of France) that had over two hundred (yes!!!) flavours including bizzare ones like tomato and basil and brie (French cheese) flavour. Bleeeeurrrgh!!! What'll it be next, Marmite?!!

Minniespal, like Catherine I would love to know where you get the skinny cow icecream! Who makes it and how does it taste??

I love Baileys icecream and the Ben & Jerry's Cookies and Cream but I think my favourite (so hard to choose!!) would have to be pistachio.

Kaylee, I hope you are enjoying that lovely icecream made with Cornish Clotted Cream - have one for me please!

Karen

Coffee ice cream for me but the very best has to be Joe's vanilla from Swansea. Whenever I go back to visit I HAVE to have some.

And this is a good thing?

Regarding the Skinney Cow ice cream - ASDA is the place to go folks!!!!

They're the best 'low fat' ice cream I've ever tasted - and for those on weight-watchers they're just 1 point for the chocolate and berry flavours and 1.5 for the cookies and cream!

As you can tell - I'm a BIG fan..................................but getting smaller all the time folks!!!!!!!!

(Though probably not good for my waistline!)

Thank you for the Asda tip for the icecream Jadie!!

 

[Minniespal]

I get mine from ASDA.

They are fantastic and come in three flavours, cookies and cream, chocolate and mixed berry. They are very flavourful and really hit the spot if you are looking for a low calorie treat.

 

[catherine]

Thanks for the info. regarding the Skinny Cow. You know where I'll be off to soon!!

 

[sharon78]

OOOOOOO i have so many i think i will have to go with
Rum and Raisin for the Ice Cream
Solero Red berry for the lolly



Have a nice Holiday Kaylee

 

[Miffy2003]

How odd Sharon, I am sat here eating a Solero red berry as I read your post!!! Very good for those on a low fat diet

 

[Night-train]

Iceland sell a brand, So-Lo I believe it's called. Very similar to Solero but I think the actual ice cream in them is tastier. They are for weight watchers and come in at 2 points each for those interested in that kind of thing. They come in two flavours, exotic and red berry if I recall correctly. Absolutely addictive!!!

 

[Scottish_Maleficent]

We have an excellent ice cream shop right here in Lanarkshire called Equi's. They sell THE best ice cream ever, vanilla and scottish stawberry double scoop..........or dime bar crunch!!!

I also love Orange Maids and white magnums!!!

Cath

 

[Night-train]

I've been corrected. . . Mrs Night-train says So-Lo's are 1.5 points each, not 2!!

 

[Miffy2003]

Those 0.5 points can make all the difference to dieters Night - train!! Your SoLos do sound identical to my Soleros!

 

[Penny12]

I'm going to be really boring here...whilst I obviously do like the nice ice-creams like Bailey's I have to say I prefer a good old fashioned, but top quality Vanilla Ice Cream....with the little vanilla pods seeds in...I <i>love</i> real vanilla!

 

[Jane and Ian]

Another boring entry - I really crave the "99's" with Mr Whippy ice cream!!! Not allowed to have them now due to the sugar!! Oh well I'll just have to dream!
