Ben and Jerrys?

[Barred]

Heard in the pub that Ben and Jerrys is moving in to Sally of Dulwich flower shop. Any more info?

[KalamityKel]

which pub and from whom?

Eavsdropping never gives the full facts ;-)

[kristymac1]

I also heard that an ice-cream shop was moving onto the Lane, my info was a bit more vague in terms of location though.....

[Louisa]

Ben and Jerrys have previously expressed an interest in Dulwich village a number of years ago now. Wouldn't be surprised if they chose around here.

I would be very sad if B&j moving in meant that Scoop did not reopen

[mamafeelgood]

Ben and jerrys = yuck. I'm with hat282 that it worries me that scoop wouldn't reopen. You can buy sugar pots of B&js in the supermarket: you can't find hazelnut, pistachio etc though.

Not happy to read this possible news at all.

[Huguenot]

Eh?

What did you think went into ice cream?

There doesn't seem to be anything in there that you could classify as muck?

[PeckhamRose]

It just so happens your humble correspondent in New England on a road trip should be hesding for the Benand Jerry's hq andfactory in thenext few days inVermont; l will ask them their plans!

[Jeremy]

Sounds like an unlikely rumour to me. Although I think B&J ice cream is pretty tasty.

If it's muck, it's damned good muck.

[RosieH]

Unusually, I'm with Huguenot on this one. There's nothing whatsoever in there that classifies it as muck.

Milk, cream, eggs, sugar = the custard ice cream is made from.

The cocoa and fats would make up the cookie dough.

Is it the emulsifier and stabilisers you have a problem with? Well sheesh, I'd hate to see the response on here if someone were to buy an ice cream from a name manufacturer and it split.

[woodrot]

Products aside, B&J are detestable tiedyed bearded gratful dead n phish lovin' hippy capitalist filth

[BrandNewGuy]

Huguenot, I know perfectly well what goes into ice cream and it's not all that muck. I'll stick to Italian gelati, thanks.

[Otta]

Good for you, enjoy.

[*Bob*]

It's the grooviest, mostly chilled-out Unilever ice cream eveerrr, duuuuude.

Peace out, man.

[BrandNewGuy]

Ben and Jerry's have that residual sheen of 'coolness' like Branson's Virgin operations. Clever marketing, same old crap.

[Otta]

Yes, but why does anyone really give a shit?

A philosophy which has a worthy history, but in this case it's because the OP brought up the subject...

[Huguenot]

Which ingredient is muck BNG?

You've got your standard ice cream, plus the flavours for cookies and vanilla.

What's your problem? And, God bless, what are you getting so angry about?

Bizarre.

[red devil]

Life used to be so simple...

[titch juicy]

It has a lot of ingredients therefore it *must* be muck, so there.

[LondonLogCo]

I think if you dig deep enough, nearly every CEO of the major Icecream producers like B&J, have had either ; a triple by-pass or keeled over with a heart attack.

Make mind a double with chopped nuts!

Soybean oil? Vegetable fat?

There's no problem. I thought I answered your condescending comment in a straightforward way, but hey ho.

> Bizarre.

Right.
