I get into habits quite easily (meaning routines, not a nun’s getup) but can find some of them quite hard to break. The latest is that absolutely no trip to Blockbuster is complete without a tub of ice cream to bring home – I’ve been eating ice cream at cinemas for years of course, but this is something new. Despite my quite well know obsession with chocolate itself, I cannot stand ice cream that claims to resemble the brown stuff – for me it’s a case of the real thing or not at all – so this limits the choice slightly. Add this to the fact that I really don’t like nuts, fruit, or weird flavors, and there aren’t ...  Read the complete review

I purchased Haagen Dazs Cookies & Cream on the mistaken pretence that it was chocolate icecream. To open it and find it to be vanilla was an immdiate disappointment. I very rarely consume icecream so when I do I always opt for one of my favourite flavours - either chocolat, mint choc chip or rum and raisin. As I'd spent money on this, I thought I might as well try it out. It tasted OK at first although my first thought was that it was too expensive for what it was. After a few spoons I felt so sick because it's excessively creamy and rich. Maybe people who have a preference for vanilla icecream would enjoy this more as I admit I don't like ...  Read the complete review

As part of a Sainsburys promotion on Haagen Dazs we bought a tub of Cookies & Cream ice cream last week. The promotional price is 2 tubs for £5 but usually this costs £3.99 for a 500ml tub. I know that sounds like a lot but this is well worth it. Firstly you need to leave the ice cream out to thaw for about half an hour before you can eat it (or even serve it) as it's a very dense ice cream that freezes solidly. Once it's ready for eating, this serves up nicely though beware that the cookie chunks can get in the way of your spoon a bit when you're dishing this up. The texture of this is really amazing. It's like the creamiest ...  Read the complete review

I love ice cream, and I am really into good quality (and usually, expensive) ice cream. I very often look out for offers in my local supermarket and recently I bought Haagen Dazs Cookies & Cream. I have never tried it before and I thought that cookies and cream sounded quite tempting so I gave it a go. It comes in standard, 500 ml (or 100 ml, if you know you won't be able to stop yourself from eating the entire big one in a short period of time - I guess I should try it!) cardboard tub which is mostly red and has pictures of cookies with cream on the front. It also has a golden plastic lid, and underneath that a layer of something that looks like thick ...  Read the complete review

I think in the brand name ice cream stakes the majority of people fit into one of two camps either Ben and Jerrys or Haagen Dazs. I am a Ben and Jerrys fan but I do like from time to time assessing the competition and so treat myself to a tub of Haagen Dazs ice cream. One of my favourite flavours is Cookies and Cream as I do like both chocolate and ice cream with bits in. Haagen Dazs ice cream comes in distinctive and fairly classy maroon, gold and white tubs with a little picture indicating the flavour on the front. The cookies and cream tub is graced with a picture of two cookies looking very reminiscent of Oreos. When you open the tub you are ...  Read the complete review
