The guy I live with is for some unknown reason driven to buy the "light" ice cream, even though it usually tastes terrible, and is the exact same price as everything else. When the weather warms up, it's off to the local custard shop (accompanied by an evening walk, which erases all the calories), but for now, I'm usually chowing down on the "Blue Bunny" abomination of the month.
To my great surprise, I have discovered that Häagen-Dazs light actually tastes pretty darn good, and only has 5 grams of fat in a 1/2 cup serving! Wow! Now don't get me wrong; it doesn't exactly rival regular ice cream/custard, but it provides a reasonable enough figure-friendly facsimile that I am quite content with it. A good gelato would probably be better, but it's so hard to find around here that it’s not worth the effort. Has anybody else tried this stuff?
