Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.

[barry1010]

We've never tried it, my wife enjoys ice cream and it's currently on offer.

The flavours seem confusing, all chocolate or caramel.

Worth buying?

Ben & Jerry's is simply the upmarket (i.e. more expensive) end of Wall's.  (They're both part of Unilever).  

Their range of flavours shows strong American influences:

It's certainly tasty but you can probably find other 'luxury' brands that you'll like just as much, such as Carte D'Or (which is actually just another Unilever brand) or Häagen-Dazs:

For utterly superb ice cream though, come to Suffolk.  This is made just a mile down the road from where I am:

PS: I've heard good things about Jude's ice cream, which is now finding its way into some supermarkets (including Sainsbury's and Morrison's) but I've not tried it yet:

I'm sure we've had that ice cream when on holiday on the Broads. It is very nice.

My wife as decided to stick with Häagen-Dazs and Waitrose No 1

I never buy 'flavours' but I had caramel ice cream at someone's house. Disgustingly sweet.  I didn't eat much of it.  I like Carte D'Or Madagascan Vanilla.

[barry1010]

She fancies Jude's Blood Orange. Bit different 

[barry1010]

Naomi, try Waitrose No 1 Madagascan if you can

[DDIL]

Love caramel chew chew

[naomi24]

I shall, Barry.  I really don't like anything very sweet.

Nobdy does vanilla like Haagen Dazs. It's like you've made it yourself at home with eggs, sugar and cream. Simply the superlative vanilla ice-cream.

[Patsy33]

It is moreish but very expensive. I've tasted the vanilla & cookie dough one. Very nice!

I last bought Jude's icecream, Buen. I was very pleased with it. ( vanilla)

[Patsy33]

Forgot to say Haagen Dazs is my favourite, too.

There might be ice, but not much cream in any of them.

Go local for good ice cream.

Just looked at Alder tree and don't deliver this far. We have two very good ice cream manufacturers  here. Bruccianis and Lewis's. Both Italian in origin and both use cream not reconstituted skimmed milk as so many commercial brands do. An iced cream maker I knew when younger, said there is a clue in the name (when asked what ice cream was), cream that has been frozen.

This is the ingredients of the Waitrose No1 Madagascan Vanilla

INGREDIENTS: Whole milk, whipping cream (milk) (34%), demerara sugar, skimmed milk powder, pasteurised free range egg, sugar, Madagascan vanilla extract, Madagascan vanilla powder

[cashier]

No Waitrose near me Barry, but it still has skimmed milk powder in it.

[barry1010]

It does. No glucose, palm oil or guar though

I think I had Ben & Jerry's once...too complicated. I like basic flavours. Though,  as a child my mum always bought a brand called Breyers...it was considered an upmarket brand in 60s America. Though most food was unadulterated then. I loved the mint chocolate chip...couldn't eat that now. 

That Waitrose sounds divine...I'd eat a tub of that with a big grin on my face.😄
