rubydazzler Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Sorry Rubydazzler, no such luck. If I had I be out there making a fortune in my own icecream business. Pity ... I'd definitely buy some from you ... But, I sometimes wonder if it was really as good as it seemed at the time. There was really only that awful yellow Walls "icecream" blocks to compare it with. I say this as some other stuff I really used to drool over, tasting it as an adult, after being desparate to find some, it was really not as nice as I remembered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missdan Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Does anyone remember when Walls ice cream came round with a fridge on wheels on the front of a bicycle. The slogan stop me and buy one was printed on the fridge part. Sno fruits, a tall triangular shaped lolly were lovely. But I still preferred taggys.

I can even remember my grandma buying Taggy's - now that is a great honour - she said it was only second to her Mums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleboo Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Wasnt there a thread on this earlier, possibly even last year, and someone said that the recipe had died with the last member of the family? apparently Taggy (the guy who owned it) had it buried with him, only he knew the recipe, He didn't pass it on to any family members, So sadly when Taggy died so did the icecream. We went to Somerset last week and we had some icecream that was made from sheeps milk and that tasted very much like Taggys.....perhaps that was his secret!!

Cynthia Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 If you read the thread that was on this site a few months ago I posted a few details re the family. Ernest Battle was 'Taggy', he along with his sister Mabel sold the ice cream, brother John made it. Ernest's wife used to be in the shop. I believe that when John died the ice cream business closed. Mabel Battle had died some time before. We had moved to Canada before the business closed. My favourites were the Jam sandwich or the chocolate wafer sandwich. Cheers, Cynthia, Ontario, Canada.

tosh13 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 There is one thing I can say is Taggy's was the best in the world for me & it's a shame that the kid's of today cannot taste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowrose Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 My fave was the chocolate sandwich with a flake in it. mmmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
