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

    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 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

    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

    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

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

    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

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

    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

    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

    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!

    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) ??
