It sounds gross to me. Ice cream is supposed to be sweet, and beer is supposed to get you drunk.
This product seems like it fulfills neither function.If I want to combine the two functions, I will pour Irish cream or a similar sweet liquor on my dessert, as I did last weekend. [ 04 June 2003: Message edited by: Andy Social ]

It sounds lovely. Oh, I'm sure it's sweet. I like bitter with my sweet - coffee ices, green tea ices, even bitter caramel. I'm not a beer drinker, but dark ale is wondrous in stews, fondues, etc. Worth taking Lactaid. Another that was, is a Hagen Daz flavour available in France but not here - it contains things like cardamon and in Paris I've found it in North African neighbourhoods (the neighbourhood I stay in when there is largely North African, both Muslim and Jewish origins). I wouldn't be surprised if it is also marketed in South Asian neighbourhoods in Britain. I've found soya-based ices with green tea flavour - yumm. No need for Lactaid. I thought foodie stuff went in body and soul, but wherever  .

Haagen-Dazs with cardamom? OMG, if I tell my wife, she'll be on a plane...Speaking of Green Tea, a few birthdays ago she brought me home two large tubs of Green Tea ice-cream. Guess where from? Baskin-Robbins! In amongst the Tin Roof and Bubblegum ice-creams, they have a subtle, interesting treat like that! Has anyone ever had Durrian ice-cream? There's a Thai restaurant around the corner from me that makes and sells it. Some say a durrian is like a cross between a mango and an old onion, but others (and I agree) think durrian smells like cat pee. The ice cream is bizarre, to say the least. (edited to stay on topic): Oh, and I'd love some ale ice cream. My choice would be Guiness though... the beer that eats like a meal! [ 04 June 2003: Message edited by: Mr. Magoo ]

HAHAHAHAHA, sorry old joke...How do you suppose the bartender made the smiley while keeping both hands planted on the bar?
Sorry, to adress your point, I like Guiness, just not when its really cold. I fear and dread the frozen version would taste even more like Hickory Chips.

Chapman's frozen yoghurt
Hey skdadl, Andy, I've been buying that for my daughters since I started doing the grocery shopping, back when my ex and I first separated. I alternate some weeks with the bargain tub o' "Equality" ice cream, (Butterscotch: It's vanilla, and they just ship it past a Butterscotch factory on the way to "Food Basics")but Chapman's frozen yogurt-- capaccino, with the chocolate chips, of course-- is not just a great treat, but at a good price too. ------------- I like to ask for tobacco flavoured ice cream at pretentious ice cream shops in malls.

didja try the durian, BTW?
Gawd no. Whaddya take me for, a coprophage? I'd never heard it described as "cat pee" smelling before; a roomie (not 'lance, alas) and I bought one, an actual knobby SCA weapon-looking thing, once, with youthful star-eyed idiocy. Then didn't know what to do with it. Got a lot of advice, the most coherent of which was, "you eat the parts that look like rotted scrambled eggwhites." It was sweet, kind of. We saved the leftovers, but by late afternoon, the rest of the household made us throw it out (triple bagged).
