HomeIcecream delivery van ... What's your fav icecream of their's ?

:hello: Hi all,

For about the past 10mths or so we have a company called Home Icecream that drives the streets in our area every second Saturday selling boxes of icecreams of allsorts.

As it's not a matter of being able to buy just one single icecream to try them but by the box i was wondering for those of you that have purchased their icecreams what icecreams did or didn't you like ?

We first purchased the Treasure Trove (vanilla icecream in little tubs like a sundae with small smarties) but didn't like them as they were quite tasteless.

Then we tried the Happy Jacks (choc coated vanilla icecream on a stick with coloured sprinkles), were ok but not great.

Well, this past Sat we bought the box of Chewy Choc (choc coated, top half like a sobet and bottom half soft creamy vanilla icecream) there are three flavours in the box pineapple, orange & raspberry ... and i have to say these are totally YUM :thumbsup:to the point i ate 4 in one night, what a disgrace i am OMG come to think of it i think i need one right now, lol :lol:

My Mum loves the Vanilla Mini Hearts and so does my DD (well they sit together in my Mum's kitchen chomping and sucking on them) ;)

So please do share your fav and not so fav's of this icecream home delivery company :D

its not icecream as such but they used to do these orange flavoured water ices in a tube(very similar to calypo's but yummier), omg they were heaven!

oh thanks Sky i'm looking at the most current catelogue right now and they must be the Slippery Sam (gotta laugh at the name, lol) and it looks just like the Calypo's but it's only in Raspberry, mmm orange would have been so nice :D

thanks for reminding me cause i should have mentioned icepoles, etc too :thumbsup:

We don't get Home Icecream company in WA at all but when DH and I were in Brisbane we loved the heart shaped ones and the eldorado, by memory.

Nah the little hand held mini heart ones...look the same, but smaller and no stick.

yeh they are really yum those ones, my Mum gets them for DD as a treat when we visit but i haven't got the heart to tell her that they delivery in our area now, oh well what she doesn't know won't hurt i guess unless DD tells her one day then ruins her own treats, lol :lol:

The lemonade icy pole/block ones. They have a hard outside and soft inside.

I've never heard of this place? Lol

It's an ice cream van that sells boxes of ice creams, rather than soft serve in a cone iykwim.

omg they were totally called slippery sams!!! hopefully theyre still awesome!

LOL Ahurani you think my DP & i didn't kill ourselves laughing an icecream van driving the streets of Ballarat in Winter, something we never thought we would see since moving here 6years ago from SE of Melb ! ... i still laugh when i hear the van bell ringing in the streets every fortnight on a Sat arvo here :lol:

You can ring or i think check their website as to if and when there is one near your area Ahurani ;) (yeh sadly it's by the box load not single icecreams !!)

Skybie will let you know if i try those Slippery Sams ;)

We've been getting these for years! Can't go past the MANGO!!!!! (on a stick not tub) mmmmmm
I noticed on our last catalogue you can order them on line & they will deliver them! I think I will have to do that now cause he doesn't come past our house & never see's DS running down the street after him! :)

OMG i could have so done with those a couple of weeks ago when i had food poisoning as all i could stomach later was lemonade icypoles !

Bowen Mango, now that's got my attention ... i love mango !

DM lucky for us he parks his van right outside our home :D

Love home icecream! This time of year is fantastic - white christmas trees! They have a new choc biccies christmas trees but it's not as good. Definately my fave.

Otherwise the golden sun bars are delish too.

oh i'm so glad you mentioned the golden sun bars, my DP was wondering if they anything like Golden Gaytime's ??

i saw the Xmas tree icecreams on the front of the recent catelogue, do you mean you have tried both (the white one & the other choc one) ??

Yes they are very similar to gaytimes. yum yum yum :D

I have tried both the white & choc Xmas trees. Both have vanilla ice-cream. The choc one has choc biscuit bits in the coating. I'm not a huge fan of choc biscuits personally so I don't love it. The white one has 100s & 1000s in the coating and it is so yummy! We bought another 2 boxes yesterday :redface:

oh dear looks like i can see the freezer in the garage getting turned back on, lol to make room for a bigger order next time ... Row you will make my DP very happy knowing that, as he was hoping they were nice like gaytimes so will get those for sure, and the white Xmas trees sound yum so will get those for DD and me :dance:

funny, a truck just drove past, but it looks like he was in a hurry. Otherwise I would totally have given those lemonade ones a go!
