BTW does anybody else despise Haagen Dazs? Their flavors seem flat and bland to me, and the stuff is stiff instead of creamy.
If we are talking specifically about ice cream--not frozen dairy desserts in general--then
Häagen-
Dazs is the best that I know of.
I like how pure their ice cream is. The mint and the Mint Chip do not have any coloring added, for example. I can recognize every ingredient listed on a container/package of
Häagen-
Dazs. The
Häagen-
Dazs Five is pure to the extreme--there are only five ingredients.
I wish that somebody would open one of their stores where I live. If I had the money I would buy a franchise and do it myself.
Alas,
Häagen-
Dazs does not make anything that meets my needs enough to be called my favorite ice cream. My favorite ice cream is strawberry ice cream that is naturally-flavored, tastes like nothing more than stawberries, sugar and cream, and does not have strawberry pieces in it. It is hard to find.
If anybody does not know what I mean when I say "tastes like nothing more than strawberries, sugar and cream", consider this: I had the strawberry frozen yogurt at one place and it tasted like lemonade
. Then I tried the strawberry frozen yogurt at another place and it tasted like it was simply strawberries, sugar and cream
. It was frozen yogurt but it tasted like ice cream. It was strawberry the way it ought to be.
