Naive of me
Well Haagen dags ice cream was on offer and I bought a few vanilla and a baileys ice cream, which is still in my freezer unopened. Just sat here at work and realised ' is this alcoholic ice cream'
I didn't really think it had baileys in it, any insight SR friends. My husband can have it if it is.

Hi KateL, too right! Thats why I called myself naive, it says it on the tin! I really didn't think alcohol in food was really alcohol, like Listerine, unbelievable. Yes, you can't be too careful. Think I might have a go at my my own ice cream, I'll know what's in it then!

whenever I want a straight answer I look for halal pages, as alcohol is generally forbidden in strict Muslim diets.
The 411 from Haagen Dasz itself is:
World Halal Quest: Haagen Dazs ice-cream..Ben & Jerry
Not sure where you got the 4% from, Skye?

The 411 from Haagen Dasz itself is:
Muslims may wish to avoid Häagen-Dazs products containing alcohol for example Baileys ice cream and Häagen-Dazs Baileys Stick Bar products which contain less than 0.5% alcohol per 100 ml of product. For your information, some of our ice cream (e.g. Vanilla based) contain a very small amount of alcohol (0.20%) due to the flavor which is alcohol based.

I had a meal that was cooked in red wine ..i had no idea , it was delicious and i found out after we had eaten it . This was just after I got sober .
It never made me want to drink or desire the meal again though . How do we constantly monitor ? Its impossible !

I got it from here Dee - perhaps different countries have different recipes?

I had an experience with a different brand half a pint of rum and raisin ice cream a while ago …
didn't taste quite right eating it, it had a rough edge … well my regular rum and raisin is ok … i started feeling ill and i was sick everywhere .. i looked on the label and it was 3% rum which was 35% alcohol ..
Lesson learned ! To check ingredients before eating stuff & also i've learned alcohol actually makes me violently sick these days …
Maybe it's psychosomatic, maybe it's physical, i never intend to find out .

i used to like the fruit and nut chocolate bar here in the UK
I used to drink to get drunk , so i avoid anything "alcoholic" .. i used to find R&R ice cream ok , now i don't … plenty of flavourful ones out there without me "sticking my head in the lions mouth" .
