A block of ice cream

I remember my nan always having a block of ice cream and it seemed old fashioned, even then. However, I decided to purchase one and cutting a 'slice' of ice cream is certainly more civilised than rummaging about in a plastic tub. Goes perfect with a nice slice of cake and I would imagine for dropping in to a glass of lemonade. The cardboard packaging folds up and into the recycling with out the bulk of platic too. Consider it, if you will.

At first I thought you said "a slice of ice cream is certainly more civilised than rummaging about in a plastic tub"

I didn't realise that such delights were still available. I've not noticed blocks of ice cream since forever ago. I'll be on the look-out from now on Thumbs Up

Always a favorite as a kid, now wondering how it can have "classic" and "new recipe" on the box. I am most upset.

We used to get sent out to the ice-cream van to buy a block, If they had some we would get Neapolitan! Used to be perfect to fit between a pair of wafers. Smile

or the single wafers (which were a bit rubbish)

You used to be able to buy cones that were rectangular at the top so you could cut a slice and slide it into the cone rather than pratting about with scoops and the like.

It does seem that certain things progress and take us backwards. Confused

Aww look... You've set us old'uns thinking about childhood now.

Did you see those prices on that Wall's poster?
At least decimilisation was in by the time I was old enough to go to the van Smile

Apparently Sainsburys sell a block for a quid!

That's how we still buy most of our ice cream in Finland. Sadly, more and more, it's being packed into Haagen Dazs type containers, as it 'looks more modern'.

It's just so much easier to take a portion than e.g. Haagen Dazs where you need to thaw almost the entire container to take a few scoops.

I never really liked vanilla ice cream until I made this.

LOL!!!

70's kids campaigns were so brutal! Tiny Cornish's school gets lots of 'awareness' type talks from friendly policemen and who give them stickers. We had to see Tufty getting squidged, fingers being blown off by fireworks and kids getting hacked to bits on the railway lines while we were eating our tea Laughing
