Phish Food

Before I had intentions of moving back East I bought a stash of Ben & Jerry’s. I was unable to taste all the pints before I left, so one night my sisters and I just dove into some of the flavors. This was one of the flavors that was lingering in the freezer. I have had this before, but this is the first time for a review.

Phish Food Verdict:

Whenever caramel comes in a flavor I ALWAYS think of my little sister, Juliann, and her addiction to caramel. If you follow the blog you know this isn’t the first time I have mentioned this. But a memory is a memory and they last. I have been living off memories as of late, but I am hoping to make some new ones shortly that may be Ben & Jerry’s worthy.

Chocolate Ice Cream with Gooey Marshmallow Swirls, Caramel Swirls & Fudge Fish

Since this wasn’t a surprise flavor for me when I popped that lid I just thought to myself…I remember liking Phish Food, but I honestly couldn’t remember why I liked it so much, now I remember. It’s damn good! I love chocolate so it’s no surprise with the first flavor being chocolate ice cream this would be any different. Gooey Marshmallow has always been a tough ingredient for me to like over the years. But maybe it’s the advancement in my pallet, but I have come to enjoy marshmallow in my ice cream. Can you imagine how much ice cream I have turned down in my days because of that one ingredient? The caramel was perfect with the chocolate ice cream, and for the fudge fish, can I just take them all in a little bag and just eat them? Please Ben & Jerry’s; can you bag just the fudge pieces?

There isn’t one negative issue with this flavor, for me. If you don’t like chocolate it’s obvious to stay away from this. The mixture of it all is just….PERFECT. There is one thing that I miss though. I miss when I reviewed a flavor and my family was at home waiting for me to bring the flavor of the week home. They helped me have portion size and took the burden from me. I now find myself eating the entire pint throughout the week. Do I have any Rhode Islanders willing to help me with this debacle?
