Mayan chocolate ice cream

[redbird]

I have tried a new (or new-to-me) ice cream flavor, Haagen Dazs' "Mayan Chocolate/Chocolat Maya" (depending on which side of the package you look at). It's a chocolate ice cream with cinnamon and some bits of dark chocolate swirl. After trying a bite, my thought was "I'd like more cinnamon, which means it's just right for most people"; rysmiel also liked it.

When we saw the package in the supermarket freezer, I was worried it would be hot/capsicum spicy, but the label made it look suitable for us, and it is. I don't think it will replace the cinnamon vanilla that Peter's Ice Cream on Atlantic Avenue used to make in my affections, but I do expect to buy this again, assuming it turns up in New York.

And I still want to get to either Maple Delight or Suite 88 while I'm up here.

Ah! I tried that when Byerly's was stocking it, but I thought it was a limited edition flavor. Glad to hear it's still being sold somewhere.

I was so sure it was poisoned that I didn't even pick it up when I saw it on the shelf -- "Mayan" is usually code for "Don't even bother looking, Jo".

So thanks for this review!

There's another home made ice-cream place near the new Farthing Party hotel -- well, not very near, it's just south of Duluth on St Laurent, so about the same distance as Suite 88 is from the old hotel. But it's nice if you're going to be anywhere near.

I looked for Maple Delight on my grocery trip yesterday, but the grocery doesn't have it. I looked at Peapod, but not there, either. Have you tried Butter Pecan? That sounds like something I'd like and I order at Peapod again in about seven weeks.

Sorry, Maple Delight is a store (Delices des l'Erable) in the Montreal Old Port, not a flavor. (Suite 88 is also an ice cream and chocolate shop, but that may have been clearer.)

Ah, I didn't get that! Thanks!
