THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION, as I will be getting some ben&jerrys tomorrow with someone whos NEVER had it ever before, and the first impression needs to be good obviously. well, it would be good no matter which one we get but AMAZING is always better than just good.
My favourites are probably Phish Food and Fossil Fuel, but theres another one I really want to try, Baked Alaska or something?
Also, how are their sorbets?
mango and whatever sorbet = fackin brilliant
i had it today for the first time and i think it may be as good as phish food actually, which is the best.
No
It's shit. It's the Frightened Rabbit of frozen desserts.
WAIT
are you talking about phish food or the sorbet?
The sorbet
I can't remember ever having Phish Food but I do quite often say to my sister "Get the one with marshmallows in it". She never does :(
PHEW
got me nervous there for a moment, I don't think I could ever get along with someone who actually DISLIKES phish food. but I'm not crazy about mango anyway so that's fine.
you're the frightened rabbit
of humans. it is an incredibly enjoyable sorbet.
It's mango
Mango + enjoyable = oxymoron.
seriously dude?
mango > most fruits and mango flavoured things > most flavours.
Nah
this
One of my favourite picnics ever was when a bloke turned up with just a box full of mangos. I taught a cute girl how to cut them and then never had the confidence to talk to her again. Amazing.
:D
sounds like my kind of picnic. did you teach her how to 'hedgehog' them? you should have hedehogged her, comrade.
Heh
sadly not, I was a bit drunk for anything that complex. Only me and one other person fancied white wine and there were 3 bottles so it would be rude not to. After it we went to Gloucestershire to see a friend and had another picnic the next day by a little brook. Amazing scenes.
that was a pretty good comeback
i'll give you that, even if i disagree wth you on the mango issue
hey thanks!
it was quite lame i thought but not as lame as people who don't like mangoes.
i was just about to say hello to you on msn
but then you left, AND insulted me.
:(
I've
never had it before either.
:(
Me either
I cant see the point - it costs about 4 times as much as regular ice cream and the tubs seem really small
therefore bad value for money - just how good could it be
+ the names of the flavours are confusing
if you look directly below the names
it says what's actually in them
a fiver for a pint tub
IT IS SO WORTH IT, you have no idea what you're missing out on man.
Phish Food or Cookie Dough
or at a push, Cherry Garcia
Half Baked?
HALF BAKED
i had completely forgotten about this, it is EASILY my favourite.
cookie dough is ok
i had it whilst drunk once and it was AMAZING, then i tried it again when i was sober and it wasn't as good, a bit too much cookie dough believe it or not, the chunks were a bit too massive.
what's in cherry garcia? other than cherry tasting stuff?
Adam Garcia

i was going to say something hilarious here
but it all ended up sounding way too dirty, completely unintentional OBVIOUSLY.
Yeah, I'd fuck him too
I know you would
Who wouldn't?!
Jose Mourinho?
I don't like his hair
judging by that one photo alone
were you going to talk about popping garcia's cherry?
no
but that would have been pretty funny
VANILLA
LOL
Surely VaniLOLa
nice save.
I work at Ben & Jerrys sometimes (in the cinema). Woo.
My favorite are the sorbets, Very Berry Extrodinary is tasty, but the Lemonade one is tangy and refreshing.
Out of the ice creams I like Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz, but you have to be a coffee loer to understand it's true bliss. But the award for most delicious probably has to go to Chunky Monkey, the perfect blend of banana flavoured ice cream with nuts and fudge/chocolate.
Cookie Dough should probably get a mention for most popular, but I personally think it's over-rated.
you must be the happiest person alive
except for like the people who try the different flavours at the factory
I used to spend entire ten hour shifts
with a spoon in hand, nibbling the odd bit of ice cream.
Unfortunatly they installed cameras and told us eating stock was a sackable offence. I now look on in envy as snotty kids get melted ice cream all over their grubby little faces.
ok that must be pretty much hell
:(
They used to do this really delicious one
which had maple flavoured ice cream or something. Seriously the best flavour ever. But then the shop stopped selling it and I've never seen it again.
They're always changing flavours.. :(
Caramel Chew Chew is pretty nice..
oh yeah i wanted to try that one
Wasn't that The Full Vermonty?
i've actually never had ben & jerrys...
but i expect Haagen Dasz pisses on it from a great height. I'm a cheapo, give me an ice cream roll anyday.
*bombay roll
Haagen Dasz
looks fancy, but tastes boring.
HD is nice
the brownie/caramel/vanilla one is like heaven in a tub. but b&j is amazing as well, they're like a children's version of HD in a way. and believe me, that does NOT mean they're more boring.
I'm obviously just a big kid.
:)
Ben&Jerry's Flavour Graveyard
http://www.benjerry.com/halloween/flavor_graveyard.cfm
THEY USED TO HAVE ONE CALLED WHITE RUSSIAN.
Massive sadface.
who told you about that.
erm.. that website just did?
you bitch
WHAT?
did you mention it to me two years ago or something?
Chocolate Fudge Brownie all the way
preferably the frozen yoghurt as opposed to the ice cream, but either will do. All of them are good, but this one is totally the best, with Phish Food a close second.
^ finally someone with some sense!
Chocolate fudge brownie B&J ice cream > most things in life
Cherry Garcia
also half baked
and cookie dough.
....
Wavy Gravy
is freakin awesome...except I don't think they make it anymore and therefore I'm off B&J ... there's a US shop called Cold Stone which is soooooo creamy and rich and delicious. So cold stone ftw (may only be calif, I dunno).
I know you've all been thinking about this all day
so I just thought I'd let you know, we went for Half Baked and it was a great success.
Caramel Chew Chew
ftw
my friend tried that
and was quite unimpressed.
