L' Arganier D' Or, Taroudant

I've had better chocolate ice creams than Carte D'Or

Advantages: Looks attractive, gives a sense of luxury
Disadvantages: Chocolate taste overpowers the white ice cream, awkward lid

I have just - finally - managed to finish a 900ml tub of Carte D'Or Chocolate Inspiration ice cream that was bought some time ago and has been lingering in our freezer for some time, being ignored in favour of other flavours of ice cream that have much more appeal in my mind. Although I am well known for my love of chocolate and also recognised to be particularly fond of ice cream, this offering from Walls just doesn't work for me. The first point of difficulty I noted with the ice cream was the tub. For some reason, these fancier (and more expensive) one-litre tubs of ice cream seem to come in more glamorous looking tubs than the standard, Walls Soft Scoop, square two-litre tubs of vanilla and I am not sure why. The Carte D'Or tub is one of those too-rounded-to-be-a-rectangle shapes which features an irritating, "breakaway" plastic tab ...

Review of Carte D'Or Chocolate Inspiration

The D'Or To Ice Cream Heaven

Advantages: Makes a nice change from 'Ben and Jerry's'
Disadvantages: Calorie Packed, Not cheap

If I ever went on ?Mastermind? my specialist subject might well be Cherry Ice Cream (well its no weirder than the bloke who chose ?Cements Used In Hip Replacement? now is it?!) I see myself as something of a cherry ice cream connoisseur and although Ben and Jerry?s ?Cherry Garcia? reigns supreme as the ice cream of choice in my household there is a young pretender to its throne?enter Carte D?Or Spagnola ice cream. Carte D?Or ice cream isn?t new to the market and according to my ?extensive? research is the number one brand in Britain ? one in 10 people have now eaten Carte D?or ice cream (that was my useless fact for the day ? an even more useless one being that enough Carte D?or ice cream is sold in Britain each year to stretch from Lands End to John O?Groats and back again ? imagine the hassle getting to work if you had to negotiate ...

Review of Carte D'Or Spagnola

Cala D'or

Advantages: Great Weather - Lots to do
Disadvantages: None

I have been to Majorca twice now and have immensely enjoyed the experience. Both times I stayed in a small rseort called Cala D'orada. Cala D'or itself is a very nice town, with some very good restaurants and a picturesque harbour, full of a fantastic array of yachts. The nightlife is also very good with very reasonable prices. There is lots to amuse yourself once you are there. Cala D'or has some very good beaches and there is accomodation practically on the beach if thats what you enjoy doing on holiday. There is also things for the energetic holiday goer. I have for two years now enjoyed windsurfing in Majorca, with a small fantastically run surf school. They cater for all abilities with great beginner courses and fun for the seasoned windsurfer alike. There is also sea kayaking and many other water sports as you would ...
