What it’s like to be a professional ice-cream taster

Would eating ice-cream every day be your dream job? With Häagen-Dazs launching a national search for a new taste testerwho do you think would like that job!

Re: nice idea

I don't mind ice cream, but with Christmas approaching I would certainly apply to be a mince pie tester..

Re: nice idea

As nice as it sounds, I'm sure I'd get fed up with it

Re: nice idea

I am sure you would , you can have 'too much of a good thing' .

Re: nice idea

could be right a bit chilly for ice cream tasting at this time of year

Re: nice idea

My friends parents own a rather classy icecream shop right on the coast where I lived in West Wales. He worked there too and I could go in and have whatever I fancied! They had the regular flavours and some rather gorgeous made up ones, blackberry crumble custard being my favourite. They'd try all sorts of flavours and if it didn't totally hit the spot it'd get given to friends or thrown! My friend often called up to our house in the evening with a tub of my very favourite Rum & Raisin as his Dad had put a little too much rum in and it didn't taste like yesterdays and they wouldnt sell it. Ferrero Rocher was another yummy one and the Raspberry Pavlova one was my daughters favourite!! I really did eat an awful lot of icecream in the summer and then when the shop shut in the winter i'd diet like mad lol

Re: nice idea

ice cream is actually a good winter desert, it encourages the heating system in the body to work

Re: nice idea

I love ice cream, my favourites being Carte d'Or, Movenpick and Italian ice cream.

I first tasted Movenpick ice cream in Egypt a few year ago, the taste is amazing and there are no artificial additives. It's good that you can now but it in the UK.

I would willingly offer my services as an ice cream taster in any of those three companies!

Re: nice idea

Bet Uncle Joe would like that job!

Re: nice idea

lol that's exactly what I was thinking Annie I would like to do it in the summer, might be a bit cold in the winter I'm also quite boring in my tastes as I only really like vanilla
