Advantages: Really tasty treat Disadvantages: Packed with calories
After reading several reviews on here about Ben and Jerry's Phish Food I decided to give it a whirl myself and I wasn't disappointed.
Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream is a chocolate flavoured ice cream with creamy marshmellow and caramel swirled through with an abundance of dark chocolate fish thrown in for extra flavour. I must say I was quite impressed with these chocolate fish...there's just so much detail to each one. Each fish has eyes, mouth, scales and fins. They haven't left many details out.
This ice cream is sensational to taste first you get a hit of chocolate ice cream, then the gooey marshmallow and caramel kicks in and melts in your mouth. Because of the large volume of fish contained in this product you may find more than one in each mouthful...each dark chocolate fish perfectly compliments the other flavours ...
Advantages: Different to your normal chocolate ice-cream Disadvantages: Too expensive to eat regularly
You just have to look at a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream to know it's going to be exciting inside. Forget your supermarket own-brand chocolate ripple... or the daring triple-choc varieties... Phish Food is an entirely new experience.
Made in the USA, this is 500ml of ice-cream that you will remember for a long time after you've eaten it, and not just because it just set you back £3.79!
All B&J ice-cream is distinctive in its cartoon style tubs - it's almost the type of ice-cream you'd imagine Homer Simpson puchasing at the Kwik-E-Mart. The front of the cartons are typically purple, with the B&J logo prominent at the top and the name of the ice-cream in the centre. Subtly dropped into the back-ground is hint of what's inside... in this case - fish. (Don't worry - I promise you it's veggie-proof fish).
Phish food is basically ...
Advantages: Delicious, very chocolatey Disadvantages: Expensive, hard to get out of the tub
I hate Ben & Jerry?s! Why? They have raised my ice cream standards so far that nothing else will do (well, apart from a few other horrifyingly expensive luxury makes, that is). Before I go any further and try and convince you into living on this wonderful food, I must say that I am a chocoholic with a very sweet tooth, so you may wish to bear these traits in mind whilst reading.
First things first, why on earth would any ice cream be called Phish food? The tub explains all ? it is actually named after an American band that Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield like. To find out more about this pair of entrepreneurs, you can either read their book Ben & Jerry?s Double Dip (which I am just about to) or visit their website at www.benjerry.com. The website is full of fun things, and kids would love it. You can get regular news e ...
