Haagen Dazs or Ben and Jerry's and also which is your favourite flavour?
I love Haagen Dazs, my fave flavour is 'vanilla caramel brownie' (or something like that)....
PS, Does anyone know which country Haagen Dazs comes from?

I love a flavor they used to sell only in their stores --cassis. I don't ever see it anymore. Cassis is really dark red and made from ripe red currants.
You would think that Haagen Daaz comes from some Nordic country but it was all the idea of a guy in the Bronx who thought foreign branding would better convey what the ice cream was all about, at least better than a normal American name ... "contrary to common belief, the name is not European; it is simply two made-up words meant to look European to American eyes. This is known in the marketing industry as foreign branding (see also Heavy metal umlaut). Mattus included an outline of Denmark on early labels to reinforce the Scandinavian theme. (Ironically, although Häagen-Dazs operates in 54 countries around the world, none of the company's 700 stores is in any Scandinavian country.) Mattus was, however, a European immigrant to the US, originally coming from Poland.
The playful spelling devices in the name invoke the spelling systems used in several European countries. "ä" (an Umlaut) is used in the spelling of German, Finnish, Slovak and Swedish language, doubled vowel letters spell long vowels in Finnish, Dutch, and occasionally German; and zs corresponds to /ʒ/ (as in vision) in Hungarian. None of these spelling conventions is used in pronouncing the name of the American product, which has a short a, hard g, and a final s sound. The closest real name to the fake Häagen is the Danish or Norwegian Haagen or Hågen; Dazs is a possible word in Hungarian due to the "zs" grapheme, but does not resemble any real name."

Tesco's own.
Have you seen the price of Haagen Daz and Ben and Jerry's?
I wait til it's on offer before buying those brands.
Come to think of it, I've never tried Ben and Jerry's!
Not an avid ice-cream fan though.
Vanilla would be my favourite. Mr Whippy style - 99 flake.
