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 recommend leaving it out on the side for 10 minutes or leaving it in the fridge for half hour (we left it in the fridge whilst eating our delicious takeaway).
Once softened get your spoon & dig in! We never eat Haagen Dazs from a bowl and simply prefer to eat it straight from the tub (less washing up that way!).
The ice cream is lovely and creamy and has lots of chocolate shavings throughout the entire tub so each mouthful tastes pretty much the same. It's delicious tasting and mouth watering.
This particular flavour can get a little sickly so between the two of us we finished the pot on the 2nd day of eating it.
There are 286 calories & 18.6g of fat per 100g so this is definitely a treat that should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy lifestyle.
I would definitely recommend this flavour, behind the Baileys flavour it is the one I enjoy the most, it's very chocolately and creamy and half the pot is definitely more than enough for my apetite!
The usual supermarket price is around £3.99 and sometimes Asda, Tesco & the like do offers of 2 500ml tubs for £5.00 so it is definitely worth keeping an eye out for these.

Advantages: Tastes heavenly, the keep-fresh plastic covering, indulgent-looking packaging Disadvantages: Disappointment for those expecting chocolate fudge, expensive, strange consistency if left for ages in freezer
