Do you ever buy soft serve ice cream?

not any more since my sugar count was high and I stopped eating sweet things with added sugar.
I DO love soft serves however, and just looking at it makes me want one!
They are nice when dipped in chocolate which then hardens over the soft ice cream.

I usually eat off the chocolate and then eat the soft serve - yuummm.....sorry Rice - another picture!!

I forgive you Finy . . . . and you stole my answer as well. Wahahahahahaha!! I'll just have to remember all the Mr Whippy's I ate as a kid. *sigh*

Not since I learnt that it has pork fat in it.

by annfi

Hahaha. That's why it tastes so good. Human brains are wired to like the feel of fat in their mouths.

p.s. all the mock cream in cakes etc is the same. The truth is it is probably better than all the nasty palm oils.

You are right Rice. As I don't eat meat I won't have those naughty treats that taste so good.

You got MY VOTE! it has about 13 grms..........YUCKY!!!

Sure is Yucky. Thank you Jonaja.

annfi, I thought my dad told me that to turn me off it. Didn't realise it is true. Who cares, I say. It tastes delicious.

when i was a child I loved soft serves, as an adult I've had it from Mr Whippy type vans I really hated it.
Is that a sign I'm getting old?

They water it down! and it just tastes they say now.... like iced-white-water. :(

Not often. But I do enjoy it. I just dont think too much about the ingredients.
Everything in moderation... I dont care if it has pig fat in it.. I eat bacon and love it lol

I am with you!

I dont really like ice cream, but will have one very very occasionally on a hot day. I do like soft serve, but I can't remember the last time I had one.......maybe when the kids were little? Ice cream is something I can walk past quite easily. I do like it, but it is not my favourite thing in the world. If having dessert at a restaurant, I always ask for cream in preference to ice cream. I don't like the brain freeze from ice cream either.

Totally agree. I always ask them not to use ice cream . . .too cold.

Since last Friday I have got back to 6.6 but it was a bit scary.

Luckily, in my adult life, I am not a big fan of ice cream. I am not supposed to eat it anyway so that makes it easy. Blood sugar rising to 15 is enough to scare me away from temptation.

Oh my, that's no good, Rice. Mine are only 5.0 !!

I haven't had soft serve ice cream in about 10 years. I do like it but hear it is loaded with sugar. Also the risk of listeria if the machine isn't cleaned properly makes me uneasy.

by Marie Vonow

O.M.G . . .! You are so right . . . I'm done. Thanks for that timely reminder :-)

I know the kind your talking about that comes also very cheap from fast foods....I had a friend tell me each has 13 grms of Fat!

So never had it again, I would rather have normal Ice Cream, not the soft serve.

by jonaja

Every now and then I buy it for the kids. And occasionally I'll have a taste of theirs. I like soft serve, but it's not my favourite treat and it's not hard for me to say no to.

by lizzi

Not often but I do buy it. I love soft serve icecream

by AJ

Yes I do in summer. We don't really have ice cream in the house in summer, but we go for a treat ocasionally and we love it.

by silvi

Not often, but I do like it a lot, especially with chocolate!
