Rare Ice Cream Finds

Not a fan of IMEI fake flavors just not my thing

Well the dehydrated strawberries are the real deal.
Which reminds me I always tell my kids sometimes you can’t beat ice cream with e numbers (it’s a European thing look it up) the tastes of my childhood lol.

As many of us know, winters in Taiwan can be a trying time for ice cream enthusiasts. Clearly insane supermarket managers remove ice cream stock and fill those spots in the freezers with tang yuan and other inadequate substitutes.

Thankfully shops such as Family Mart do not back down, and while I cannot say that their house brand ice cream bars are “rare” I can say that their sea salt caramel concoction (pictured below) is exceptional—maybe too good for my own good. You’ve been warned!

Yeah, they’re good. I didn’t know 牧場直送 was a Family Mart brand until I read your post.

I don’t have inside knowledge, but it does appear to be their house brand. Corrections are welcome!

Took me ages to find that one in a store. I had to dig to the bottom of the freezer to find it.

I hope it lived up to your expectations!

I’m also having trouble tracking those bars down now, after my fateful post . . . :doh:

I might’ve eaten the last one in taipei. Apparently you can order direct but FM can’t find stock to order for me!

those are seriously good. I saw them again this year already. Not sure on pricing/flavor.

So, I saw this Pols ice cream bar, something with caramel, grab one and take it to the counter. Clerk cannot scan it, then tells me they are not supposed to be on sale yet.

All rightie then, I leave it on the counter, go back to the fridge, grab a strawberry flavor made in Japan bar, and when I get to the counter, there is a pile of like a dozen Pols caramel bars and the clerks are all nervously scanning and scowling. :thinking:

Anyways, that was over a week ago, no sign of the tempting caramel Pols. Mystery…

I always tell them if it can’t scan, then it’s free.

Hasn’t worked yet though.
