I actually like the cheap, not very creamy, vanilla stuff you get from Sainsburys. Other than that a rum and raisin choc-ice, with dark chocolate, goes down very nicely.

I can't stand Mr Whippy, it's like cold squirty cream. :(

Not a big fan of sweet stuff but generally the cheap stuff is just as good if not better than the big names.

Donkey's years ago my aunt in Monkseaton used to make her own ice cream. This was long before the days of Ice Cream Maker machines. She made it with beaten eggs and jersey milk and it went in the ice cube tray in her fridge. It always had slivers of ice in it and I absolutely loved it. :D

It was wishy washy stuff compared with that made by an old lady named Laycock who made it at her home on Catlow Hall St and sold it out of a small chest freezer in her vestibule.

Sorry, but I went right off Vienetta when I was defrosting my freezer and left some to melt, so that I could throw it away. It just looked so artificial (whipped up none dairy fat) that I have not been tempted to buy any since.:eek:

Re: Ice-cream...whats Your Favourite?
 
I don't eat much ice cream, but I like to keep a tub of Mackies (of Scotland) Traditional Luxury Dairy Ice Cream in my freezer.

I buy it at Sainsburys, but I think that most of the bigger supermarkets stock it.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any in Shanghai yet, so my freezer is bare.

Not a lover of ice cream but on the odd occasion I do have one I like Choc Mint Chip from a small shop in Grassington.

Used to be great Margaret, calling in at Laycock's on the way home from Rhyddings Park when I was a kid, Moxhams opposite the Town Hall (civic theatre, sorry Gayle:D) wasn't bad either, Edmund made a mean icecream, incidentally his son Andy has a letter in the Obs this morning

No, I can't say I am partial to ice cream.....but if I am forced to choose it has to be boring old vanilla....but only a very small cone!

Margaret Pilkington 16-06-2008 17:31

Re: Ice-cream...whats Your Favourite?
 
what about Birtwells? They used to come round every Sunday afternoon with the horse and cart...and the ice cream came in one flavour - vanilla...but you could have a shake of raspberry vinegar on it. I was just a child and liked ice cream way back then.

Re: Ice-cream...whats Your Favourite?
 
If it has to be supermarket stuff, then choc chip, smarties, rum and raisin, most of the carte dor stuff, trouble is, when I start, I can easily finish the whole tub.

Think I just about remember that, used to go that way to my Grans and had ice cream on the way, must have been that place, was it on the left if you were heading towards Ossy? can't remember what it tasted like though :)

Re: Ice-cream...whats Your Favourite?
 
They may have called it 'blood' but I knew it as raspberry vinegar......maybe they thought if they asked a sweet little girl(which is what I was then.....50 thump years ago)
I would take fright and run......maybe only the boys got 'blood' :D

Well I wasn't around then, maybe he got that phrase later :D

Margaret Pilkington 16-06-2008 20:58

Re: Ice-cream...whats Your Favourite?
 
I think that is possible......it was definitely vinegar(raspberry) it was thin and it was in a vinegar shaker...it wasn't the thick gloopy stuff like they put on today....and it wasn't the livid red colour either.

Since you are age 46, it isn't the lady you remember.

She made icecream in the late 40's and early 50's. Her house was opposite St Pauls Church on Catlow Hall St.

Such practices wouldn't be allowed nowadays for public health reasons because all places where food is prepared for sale have to be inspected and approved.

Robinsons Dairy Ice, Leyland. They used to have Ice Cream vans and I remember as a child waithing for them to come down our street, we used to get my mums mixing bowl filled with it. Still call in now and then for one. Other than that Hagen Das, Belgian Choc Chip. yum

I've had Mackie's vanilla a few times from the supermarket (Asda and Tesco) and it's really nice, with an 'old fashioned' taste. Looking at their website it looks as though they're small-scale enough to still be legitimate ;)
