Head to Head Vanilla

In a surprising but unanimous blind taste test, Meiji Super Cup vanilla ice cream was voted superior to Haagen Dazs vanilla.

Maybe our three person sampling wasn’t statistically significant, but we were amazed by how much we disliked the Haagen Dazs and enjoyed the domestic brand. And at quadruple the cost, how can we ever buy Haagen Dazs again?

no surprise really, i’m a huge häagen daz addict especially the strawberry cheese cake , black walnut and ginger&something flavors, but the vanilla i was a total disapointment to me too, flat taste and way too fatty.

i wonder why nobody seems to make real premium vanilla ice cream with enough bourbon vanilla in
it so you get a strong spicey vanilla taste. it’ll be expensive but worth it and i’m sure there would be a market for it.
