Viennetta Mint Ice Cream 650 ml

Product Information

Nowadays, having a Viennetta is disappointing at all levels. Apart from the shape and waves, everything is poor, if not bad. Wave after wave of soft ice cream flowing over layer upon layer of chocolate deliciousness – is it any wonder that Viennetta ice cream is such a firm family favourite?

I recognise Kay’s descriptions of going to see your gran, who will tell you you have got fat, then bring out a plate piled high with Breakaways and Penguins.

At this stage, I should mention that the working classes are, and always have been, very diverse, so some readers will be screaming: “Oh, how patronising – my family had no money throughout the 1980s, but my mother made lentil soup from scratch every day!” This I can only applaud. In fact, let me pause and pay tribute to those kids with a mother like Toni Collette in About A Boy, who never tasted mint Viennetta and were not allowed to eat Cadbury’s chocolate rolls at birthday parties. You can feast your eyes on the individual shopping lists down at the end of this post, but basically the Co-op was indeed the winner for the same branded frozen food.Launched originally as a multi-portion dessert product, its success after being launched throughout KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants led to Unilever, owners of Wall's, producing many flavour and size variants.

Who am I without processed food? Am I even working class any more? I certainly still have to work. But I have spent years in the north railing against my family for adding Anchor squirty cream to already creamy items, for loving a Toby carvery. I have stood at Christmas gatherings reminding people that the only way not to gain weight in December is to eat no Quality Street or mint Matchmakers at all. The words “preachy tosspot” surfaced from some of my closer family. I suppose I was trying to be helpful. Or trying to communicate my newer, fresher religious awakening. Sugar is the false god. The real saviour – gather round, people – is a Fitbit and fresh air.

I feel they are the poorer for this. 2/5The chocolate layers inside are gone; those rare very thin layers are lost inside. Just by cutting a slice, you can barely see them, and there is not much to taste either.
