Just wondering.........
Has anyone had the Tofutti Rock 'n' Roll vienetta style chocolate cake thing?
Is it any good? Is it worth buying or is it a bit disappointing like the rock 'n' roll cones?

i thought it tasted just how i remember Vienetta, so if that's what you're after i'd recommend it. i haven't seen it in the shops for ages though.

I had it literally 20 minutes ago, and yeah I do grudgingly agree with cobweb. Grudgingly because I was so enthusiastic about it beforehand! The choccie fudge stuff is disappointing and the ice cream itself... is just stodgy and bland. I just reverted back to my good ole Swedish Glace vanilla, now that's got flavour!

Well I wouldn't usually push my opinions on ice cream like that onto anybody as we all have different tastes and preferences, but stodgy and bland is never good, right? Very expensive too, eep.
Aaaaah and the coffee mocha ripple flavour, that is a gooood ice cream! :D

It's ok once every few years, but I never get excited when i see it in a shop.

I think you may be remembering something different (I remember it too, but not the name). Vienetta was/is lots of layers of chocolate with icecream.

Here's a better shot of viennetta, showing the layers of solid chocolate sheet, which aren't in the toffutti thing:

The toffutti one is more just solid icecream underneath the toping bit.

There used to be several viennetta type things. There was one that was particularly good with little chocolate balls in. Can't remember any of the names thou

I remember those - weren't they the round ones? There were two different flavours called Romanza and Romantica I think. I'd forgotten all about them - i used to love them but I guess we all learn :o
