Mega ice-cream tasting session
Mum’s love for ice-cream
I might have mentioned my Mum’s love for ice cream! With this in mind, I called her, asked her how much room she had in her freezer, asked her not to put anything else in it and placed an order with Ocado to get a range of ice creams so that we could have a taster session.
It was awesome!
One of the best things about Ocado is that you can get lots of different brands in one place. I was excited about trying these wonderful flavours even though I’m not a huge fan of ice cream!
What I ordered
Here’s a list of the ice creams that I ordered:
Roar Salted Caramel Macadamia
Roar Hemp Seed Chocolate Brownie
Valsoia Cashew Tiramisu Dairy Free Gelato
Plant Kitchen Raspberry Ripple
Perfect World Pistachio
Cecily's Mint Choc Chip
Alpro 360 Caramel Macchiato Swirl
Oppo Brothers Double Salted Caramel Swirl
Oatly Hazelnut Swirl
Perfect World Sweet Espresso
The experience
The experience was awesome!
Some of us paced ourselves taking only a small amount of each flavour so that we could get more of the ones they liked the best afterwards. Others took a fairly large amount of a few different flavours and then struggled, either to try the others, or to be able to tell the flavours apart. But regardless of all of this, Mum loved it so that was great!

“Dr Kassam, a Consultant Haematologist and Lifestyle Physician, said there needs to be far more focus on prevention as the NHS buckles under the unprecedented pressures of the pandemic.
The Government has announced a £100m package to tackle the obesity crisis, which includes plans to introduce a 9pm watershed on TV and a ban on paid-for advertising online for unhealthy food and drink, as well as restrictions on the promotion of unhealthy food in shops.
Dr Kassam believes more needs to be done to promote the benefits of a healthy vegan diet.”
