It was a late night and my friend and I were both feeling ' a hole' in out stomachs.Since there was no-one else at home we decided to raid the fridge!To our dismay there was nothing edible that didn’t involve more than 2 minutes of effort on to cook!Disheartened but still determined we moved onto the freezer!Draw one, no luck.the same with draw two.We were about to give up when all of a sudden a familiar logo caught my eye!I thought it said ‘Haagan ... ...pulled it out as quickly as we could.We placed the unopened 500ml tub of ‘Haagan Dazs cookies and cream’ flavour ice-cream on the table and looked on in awe.

Advantages: Tasty! Chocolatey! Disadvantages: Makes you fat if you eat too many!
Cookies and Cream... just thinking of the name makes my mouth start to water.
I'll start by explaining my title... Just about the only time I ever eat Haagen Dazs ice-cream is when I go to the cinema, hence it is my cinema treat - and the flavour I'll opt for 9 times out of 10 is Cookies and Cream.
The ice-cream is a luxury vanilla ice-cream with pieces of chocolate cookie crumbled into it. The pieces range from little crumbs to small pebble sized ... ..."Finally there’s an ice cream to satisfy the milk-and-cookies kid in all of us. Pieces of your favorite chocolate cookies are dunked into delicious, creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s like coming home again"
Cookies & Cream is available in two types of product, firstly there's the tub, and secondly the bar... the bar is definitely my favourite... I'll come on to that in a moment...
THE TUB

Advantages: Taste Disadvantages: Calories, price, size of tub.
Ok, so I lied. I said I wouldn't buy another tub of this Ice Cream but I have, So shoot me. After the last Haagan Dazs experience I was strangely drawn to the freezer section of my Local Tescos, knowing it costs a fortune, knowing it's fattening, but it called to me. 'Buy me' it whispered ... So I did.
This time I have been sucked in by the Cookies and Cream variety. Same unimpressive tub, same artery clogging calorie content, same endless list ... ...tub, a revolting maroon and gold colour had a little picture of two cookies on the front (Oreo Style) and the usual Haagan Dazs slogan across the front. Try as I might I cannot find the calorie content of this ice cream, but I assume by the ingredients that it's not a low number (ie, Fresh Cream, sugar, chocolate cookie pieces). I don't know why but I was expecting a chocolate flavoured Ice Cream here, so on first opening my tub I was slightly alarmed ...

Haagen Dazs Cookies and Cream - The ice-cream dream
History
Haagen Dazs, I always thought was a German brand but after looking it up on the internet I was surprised to discover that it is in actual fact an American brand made by a family called the Hristow family from the Bronx New York. The company was established in 1961, at which time they only had three flavours, vanilla, chocolate and coffee.
Today
It is now a speciality ice cream chain ... ...States, as well as 54 other countries around the world. They produce ice cream, ice cream bars, sorbet and frozen yogurt.
The ice cream It comes in many different flavours and is referred to as a SUPER PREMIUM brand. This means that it is quite dense (little air is mixed into it when manufactured and no emulsifiers such as guar gum are used) It has a high butterfat content.

Advantages: Good soul food. Disadvantages: Too good to put down.
...Background
---------------
Haagen-Dazs sounds like a Swiss or German brand name to me, but after a little bit of reasearch I found out that it is actually an American company that started in New York back in the roaring 20's.The company has been sold now to the Pillsbury Company..(you know the ones who are responsible for the dough boy.)
They now have a whopping 65 varieties of ice cream ranging from Vanilla cream to speciality seasonal flavours ... ...The ice cream comes in a 500ml/415g tub, with a sturdy lid.Unlike some sub standard ice cream packaging these tubs hold their shape well, even when the ice cream inside begins to melt.The ice cream inside is covered with a celephane membrane which I always find reasuring as you can tell this way if your purchase has been tampered with.
All their varieties look very similar really, this particular tub being nothing unusual.Half the tub resembles ...

I get into habits quite easily (meaning routines, not a nun’s getup) but can find some of them quite hard to break. One of my latest whenever I'm in the UK is that absolutely no trip to Blockbuster is complete without a tub of ice cream to bring home – I’ve been eating ice cream at cinemas for years of course, but this is something new. Despite my quite well know obsession with chocolate itself, I cannot stand ice cream that claims ... ...case of the real thing or not at all – so this limits the choice slightly. Add this to the fact that I really don’t like nuts, fruit, or weird flavors, and there aren’t many tubs left to choose from. Still, Cookies and Cream is one of those that my palate does deem acceptable, and so it came to pass (you can tell it’s almost Christmas) that one Saturday night after work, I found myself with a rapidly increasing wet patch between ...

Advantages: Great taste, refreshing and fulfilling Disadvantages: Oh, it is dear, my friends
We went to watch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets last night. It's a great film, even better than the first, and as good as the book, but hey I am not talking Potter here am I? I am not talking wizards and sorcery - even though the makers of what I AM discussing might well have used magic to create such a wonderful product. (This member will write a full review of that Potter film soon. )
No, tonight we are discussing naughty indulgences…
... ...stockings, knee length boots and a whip (down boy). Oh No! The indulgences I am talking are those ice cream indulgences. You have tasted Walls, you have tasted Carte Dor, but if you haven't yet then Haagan Dazs is the thing you have got to taste.
It is… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeee ooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

.......I want more cookies'n'cream ......
Ice cream is not at all a healthy option or suitable for those of us that need to avoid dairy products but all the same it is my favourite indulgence. Regardless of whether I am home alone, enjoying a night in with my husband, having friends round for a quick tea or having an outing to the cinema, ice cream is my number 1.

Wether its a lonely valentines day, break up with your boyfriend or your bad time of the month there is one thing a girl can always rely on to cheer her up. ITs her best friend, who says nothing but does everything to please her. Oh yes, its that devilish seductive ice cream that she just cant get enough of. Haagan daaz has arrived.

So what happens next?. You peel back the inner paper, and there it is. The goods yopu have been anticipating for so long.

Little chunks of crumbly cookie that arent crunchy, but not soggy with a little cocoa taste are ...

When I was younger, my grandma would always buy the same ice cream, which came in a long rectangular block in a cardboard wrapping, and while it was nice enough, it always reminded me of school ice-cream, which left me pining for that gorgeous caramel sauce that the school always served.
As i got older, she graduated to the one litre plastic tubs, which again, while nice enough, were just simple ice cream.. she never even bought anything other than ... ...of making my own shopping choices, I decided to experiment, and after experimenting with a few brands and flavours, i have finally found my soul mate
Cookies and Cream has got to be the BEST ice cream ever. It is creamy and rich, and while the idea of soggy buscuit may not seem very attractive, the bits of cookie in this ice cream have got to be tried to be believed. While it is pricy, and you don't get much in a tub, this ice cream by far out-shines ...

Advantages: "feel good factor" Disadvantages: price, fat :(
Look
Rather like what it is unsurprisingly, ice cream with small brown pieces of broken up cookies in it.
Packaging
A sophisticated looking tub with a good tight lid. The colors are tempting, (perhaps not such a good hing, calories) orange / brown and creamy cream.
Taste
In a few words, "like heaven". I really only have this at my friends house as she always seems to be in good supply, we raid the freezer and come back with a pot of heaven. ... ...melts in your mouth leaving scrummy cookie pieces to devour. Feel good
