Best Ice Cream Ever
Richard Dyson
Does anyone remember Ben Marchini's ice cream, made in Huddersfield.
The firms factory, which closed down I believe in the 1960s, was at
Birchencliffe Huddersfield. In my opinion, they made the best ice
cream ever.

IMHO it was Caddy' ice cream in Dewsbury, they had a couple of vans
and a ice cream parlour, the Q's on a Sunday used to stretch forever,
but sadly it was pulled down to make way for a precinct.:-(

How about going to the opposite extreme. What about the worst ice-cream
ever?
I'd nominate Lumb's Ice Cream, made in a little place off the Barnsley Road
in Wakefield. I remember it used to have a huge plastic ice-cream cone on
the wall outside.
This ice-cream was the least creamy ice-cream ever: little more than frozen
sweetened milk. They always used to serve it at school (Silcoates), in
little blue-paper-wrapped bricks, with mandarin oranges or apricots.
Best ice-cream: from a little shop in Ripley, just opposite the lane that
goes down past Ripley Castle. Or that company whose factory is on the
Ripon-Leyburn road - for the life of me I can't think of their name (this
is going to bug me until I remember the name).

Have to disagree I'm afraid. The taste of my youth was Dixon's Milk
Ices. Iremember many happy visits to the shop up by the Royal
Infirmary. I even worked on a Dixon's van outside Greenhead Park one
summer. And allegations that the prices varied in direct relation to
the temperature are completely unfounded!

I can second the vote for Taggy's ice-cream. Deelicious! Brings back
memories of my childhood on the Arbourthorne. Every Sunday afternoon
the van would be round tinkling it's distinctive tune. Halcyon days!

As something of a lifelong connoisseur of ice cream, I would like to
nominate the sixpenny whopper ( a giant wafer) sold by Pablo's at
Blackpool (in the 1950's) as a candidate for the worst ice cream ever.

Brymor. Started by a farmer called Brian Moore (duh) to get around the
milk quotas. I agree.
