Rocky road
 
we dont really have it in england, so can i ask, what is it? (yes i know its a flavour of ice cream)

apparently its a pretty good flavour, which makes me wonder why it never took off here....

Well, I've never had it either, nor have i seen it, and I am in the US...

I have heard of it though, i think its by Ben & Jerry's

sounds "interesting"
hetes what i found
Australia

The main ingredients in traditional Australian Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
milk chocolate (sometimes dark or white chocolate is used)
desiccated coconut
jelly
nuts, particularly peanuts
[edit]Nigella Express

The main ingredients in a Nigella Express Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
dark chocolate
mashed biscuits (Cookies)
icing sugar (for dusting)
[edit]United Kingdom

The main ingredients in traditional British Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
milk chocolate (sometimes dark or white chocolate is used)

raisins and sultanas
[edit]United States of America

walnuts and/or almonds
Although slabs of Rocky Road can be found at confectioner's shops (as well as a somewhat popular candy bar from the Annabelle Candy Co. called Rocky Road that has marshmallow, a thin covering of chocolate and no nuts), the most popular version of Rocky Road in the U.S. is in ice cream form, which consists of chocolate ice cream, marshmallows (or sometimes a "marshmallow swirl"), and nuts.


to be honest out version sounds rubbish, the us version sounds good

rocky road is more than an icecream flavour, its a block(ish) piece of chocolate with marshmellow and jelly and whatever else you found in what australia has....

i need to get out to england.... you people are more deprived than i thought.... :p

mirek03 11-07-2008 12:37 PM

yes, two flavors of marshmallow, nuts, Turkish delight and chocolate all mixed into a bar.., about 2 inches by two inches.., and maybe 6 - 8 inches long. it comes in home made or factory.

NeoStrider 15-07-2008 01:45 PM

what? you eat crisps?

i thought you'd wanna shag crisps... =P

i honestly haven't seen rocky road around in quite some time... it was popular in the eighties and early nineties here in the states, but i never had it as i'm allergic to most nuts <sigh>

you told me not to but i agree
but i like almonds

Rocky road is an awesome flavor I reckon...
The only thing is that there has been some debate to ban it because the yellow color is artificial (don't know what it is called) and can be bad for your body. However there has not been any bans yet that I am aware of.

Just thought I'd share.
