"Cinnamon Buns" seems like it might be weird - but possibly fabulous. I'd go for the "Lighten Up Raspberry Chocolate Chunk" on my first pass, and "Peach Cobbler" on my second. No B&J here, though, so I'll have to let you guys do my tasting for me and report back.
taz, you should look around. Here in Israel, all the Ben & Jerry's we get has Greek on the label, so they've got to be importing it from somewhere near you. Also, it seems always to have been melted and refrozen, leading me to assume it's sent by slow boat from Piraeus.
Huh. Well, maybe I'll find it once I'm moved to Athens. Meanwhile, for my next holiday, I think I'll charter the Ben&Jerry's slow boat from Piraeus. Sun, sea, and Cherry Garcia!
nope, no Ben&Jerry in Greece. I have never seen one and believe me, I would. I have seen a Baskin Robbins though, which does not compare really, in a stupid posh neighborhood in Athens. So ridiculous.
Hey taz! how 'bout I open a little ice cream shop and franchise B&J? In your new neighborhood (National Park, maybe)? Heh, that's what I'd like to do really after next year. Maybe that's what i am only going to be able to do.
I am a very big fan of the line also because of their attitude towards genetically modified foods, which is a big issue now in US.
A pint? When preg and lactating was having a pint by myself, dabitch! Of course it put several extra pounds on me and meant to completely go off ice cream to lose it. Sad, that.
I was in the grocery store last week, and spotted one single pint of B&J Peach Cobbler in the freezer case. In a moment of weakness, I bought it. I have not been disappointed. Mmmmm, peach ice cream.
