Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate

--------- Well, in the little world of me, chocolate ice cream is an essential part of my existence. Some days I just have this craving for something chocolate, and since I'm a bit allergic to it, I have to stick with ice cream, because this doesn't hurt my throat so much. I know, I'm really controversial, whenever I eat it, I know I'll have a sore throat afterwards, but who cares, I need my chocolate rush every once in a while! Today was the day, I had this craving again. I decided to hop on my bike and race to the nearby supermarket. When I got to the frozen stuff section, I noticed that my ... more

We took a trip to the new Waitrose store last week to be nosey and see if it was any good. The store itself didn't really make much of an impression on me, but as we passed through the ice cream isle my eyes lit up as I saw that they had Haagen Dazs on special offer. Cue squeals of delight from me, and groans from James. The ice cream was reduced from its usualfour pounds ish per 500g tub to a fiver for two. They didn't have my favourite flavour, baileys, so I chose the Vanilla one and the Belgian Chocolate one. I have just opened the later and am tucking into to it as I type. The ice cream ... more

I love chocolate and to enjoy this ice cream you have to because unlike some so called chocolate ice creams, Haagen das Belgian chocolate ice cream is super chocolaty and super delicious. The ice cream itself whatever flavour is always perfect when it comes from Haagen das, it is smooth and very creamy and it never goes that frosted way no matter how long it is kept in the freezer (not long in my house). Belgian chocolate and the everyday chocolates you get do vary in taste with Belgian chocolate having a slightly more bitter taste but not as bitter as dark chocolate and the taste is emulated ... more

Are all girls ice cream connoisseurs? Or is it just for me that ice cream scoffing acts as a security blanket and also a source of comfort when everybody hates me/I failed my driving test (again!)/the mirror has it in for me etc etc? And yet ice cream can also be (and frequently is by me!) savoured as a seductive, sinful treat… With all these opportunities to scoff and savour behind me, I have sampled quite a lot of ice cream varieties over my short (but sweet-toothed) 18 years on this planet and so far, regardless of my mood, Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream is my companion of choice ... more

I purchased this 500ml tub of Haagen Dazs Belgian Chocolate for £4.25 from our local fish & chip shop recently when treating my fiance to a takeaway for tea after he had a hard day at work. The ice cream is provided in a cardboard round pot with a plastic lid and I believe the whole thing is recyclable (I throw it in the recycling bin anyway!). Once you open the lid you can smell the chocolate ice cream straight away and the smell is enough to make your mouth water before you've even got you spoon dug in! The ice cream is pretty hard if it's just come straight from the freezer so I would ... more
