Ben and Jerry's. No question.

BlastedGlute

Ben and Jerrys, not only for having interesting flavors but the quality of the ice cream seems to surpass haagen dazs by a long shot! Besides, who cares about a tub of nothing but vanilla....boring!

*edit*

One minor annoyance, when i go to the Eye Cinema in galway they have a ben and jerrys shop in there that serves flavors we can't buy in tubs in supermarkets. Chunky Monkey is boss but only available in there, which by the way is PAST the ticket booth so i have to go into the screens hallway to buy it! haha

Mr Simpson

Ben & Jerry's any day, and for me its got to be Cookie Dough.

Captain Chaos

HD all the way. B&J is puke in a tube imo.

B&J Phish Food, HD Vanilla. Although the light Carte D'or isn't far off HD these days. (Funny how some light ice creams are nicer than full fat -- HB Vanilla is another.)

The current passion in our house is Tesco Banoffee ice cream. Nyom, buying some tomorrow! Their Cherry is gorgeous too.

The only thing I don't like about Ben & Jerry's is the way the US has a gazillion times the flavours of anywhere else in the world. Unjust.

HD Caramel, Pralines and Chocolate..... Jesus wept

Got to be Ben and Jerry's! It's way nicer. My current favourite is the new Half Baked one.

That's not new. Used to be around years ago. Did they re-release it in Ireland?

Bobsammy

I don't know to be honest! I never saw it before a few months ago but maybe I just missed it!

Toto Wolfcastle

Yeah, Half Baked has been back for a good while. It's usually in Tesco or Superquinn.

They stopped selling it in Ireland around... 2005 or so (?), though the UK has had it continuously. When did they bring it back?

It's up there among my favourites. Yum.

I first saw it around March so it's back since then at least!

B&J's Phish Food or Coconutterly Fair. There is nothing better!

B&J's. By a mile, BUT. Throw Baskin Robbins in there & I'm gonna have a problem choosing

Häagen-Dazs for me!

Caramel, Pralines and Chocolate and Baileys are my faves. Haven't seen the Baileys one for ages though.

ben and jerrys, but that its ridiculous how dear it is, the odd times when its half price it feckin flies off the shelves.

I know. I've eaten five tubs so far this week...

Depends, if I'm having a greasy takeaway I want the ludicrous sweetness of Ben and Jerry's but if I'm having something "nice" to eat I prefer the more ice-creamy Haagen Dazs.

Pomplamousse

Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie or the raspberry part of the Core Berry White one. An amalgamation of those two would be the perfect ice-cream:D

MaxyJazz

Haagen Daz all the way! Tried Ben & Jerrys and I think it's muck !!

Bobsammy

Tesco usually have it - and it's on special this week!

wonton

Tesco Wicklow do too and they aren't all that big!

B&J's is half price in Tesco and SuperValu this week

Stench Blossoms

I haven't seen it in any of the Tesco's near me.

I'll have another look.

Bobsammy

Superquinn usually have it as well if there's one near you.

Stench Blossoms

Unfortunately no as I live in Galway.

cant believe anyone prefers ben and jerrys to haagen daz

no comparison IMO

B&J Cookie Dough.......emmmmmmm

Eathrin

B&J Cookie Dough but I'll only buy it when it's half price.
Though I don't find the chocolate ice cream in B&J very nice at all.

haagen dazs pralines and caramel is much nicer

brick_top

my favourite ice cream of all is maxi twist but I cant seem to get it in bulk like corneto or magnum

DoozerT6

I love B&J for their slightly wacky flavours, but I have to say I'm a savage for Haagen Dazs Strawberry Cheesecake. I could eat a whole tub of that bad boy and possibly go back for seconds... :O

jahalpin

I prefer HD to Ben and Jerrys

My favourite is HD Vanilla, followed by "Praline and Cream" and Baileys

Some of the B and J flavours are ok though, the Peanut Butter Cup is nice and with 25% off in Cineworld with my Premium Unlimited card it would really be rude not to get some

billion dollar baby

Haagen Dazs all the way for me. Mint Leaves and Chocolate is the most divine flavour I've ever had. Also love Pralines and Cream. I like the odd Ben and Jerrys but I don't like the way you can't buy Cherry Garcia in the tubs anymore only at the cinema

corklad12

Häagen-Dazs Baileys!
