I have found solace ...

[joggerjayne]

... in ice cream.

[treebear]

mint chip is my fav .... whats yours

[joggerjayne]

Vanilla.

But at the mo, I'm destroying a litre carton of Waitrose Clotted Cream ice cream !

I've chucked the lid in the bin ... !!

[treebear]

have you ever had beer flavoured ice cream ..... made with ..guiness or the like ...other dark beers

[joggerjayne]

Errrm ... no.

=0/

I've just discovered Asda's dark choc ices. 10 in a £1 box, but you get any 4 £1 items of frozen food for £3, making them only 7.5p each - Highly addictive!!!

[treebear]

its a bit like rum and raisin ..you get the sweetness plus the alcohol

[NoMercy]

Carte D'or Greek Yoghurt and Honey with Caramelized Walnut Icecream is to die for...

[joggerjayne]

treebear ... would I like beer ice cream if I don't like beer ?

[piggynose]

i´m quite partial to soya ice cream or helado de soja. its not up to much in the uk, but theres a brand here in madrid which is the bees knees.

[treebear]

if its the bitterness of beer that you dislike then i think you would like beer flavoured because it can be chocolately or coffee...like .. more ice cream for me

[NoMercy]

I've never seen "helado de soja".

Have you tried horchata?

[treebear]

i was at a dinner party some years ago where the host served frozen beetroot soup instead of her homemade cherry ice cream

[joggerjayne]

gelado in Portuguese!

I have the occasional bottled lager, treebear ...

But not that dark man beer stuff.

And I don't like to see girls drinking pints.

I keep thinking of how gassy they are going to be !!

[piggynose]

no mercy, you´re in the land of horchata!!(Valencia) i quite like it, but it has to be fresh, no that chemical rubbish you get in Dia. yes i tried drank a few glasses when on holiday in Gandia beach.
i´ve only seen the helado de soja in a heath food place in madrid, not a herbalorio, its called ecocentro, a health food shop, organic food shop and a yummy restaurant.
i´ll try and get the name of the stuff next time i´m in madrid
