She's also converted her bodyguards, she says. And her friends from Texas. Her daughter, Beatrice, is, of course, vegan. "She loves my cooking. And if you see her, unbelievable! Five years old, tallest in the class, brightest in the class, vegan her whole life. And no issues, no health deficiencies. You meet, like, vegan kids, and ... my daughter's so chilled! Masses of energy, but she's really ... no anger." While you may be thinking that all ice creams taste the same, I don't think they do - but all three I tried were delicious nonetheless. Mr. Whippy (or Mister Whippy) is a brand of soft-mix ice cream produced by Wall's, a subsidiary of Unilever as part of the Heartbrand. Mr. Whippy began as a franchise of ice cream operators, but is now just the name of the soft-mix ice cream, as such, many ice cream vendors selling the soft-mix brand themselves as "Mr. Whippy" and stylise their vehicles and outlets as they wish. Actual franchises of the brand continue separately in Australia and New Zealand. [1] Campaigning is Mills's vocation. She claims that she's been homeless, that she lived under Waterloo Bridge when she first got to London in the late 1980s, that she's spent time on the front line of former Yugoslavia; and that these things, combined with the unquestionable harshness of her childhood and the circumstances in which she lost her leg, have instilled in her a pronounced desire for justice. Mills talks and talks and talks, a breathless, barely punctuated flow, which is loosely themed "food" but regularly meanders off into unrelated hinterlands. It's delivered in that lyrical, gentle Newcastle accent of hers, which makes everything sound lovely, even when it's not, even when it's unlikely or contradicts something she said a sentence earlier. It even sounds lovely when she tells me, in the interest of encouraging me to give up my carnivorous ways, that the meat I eat on a daily basis "sits in your colon for 40 years and putrefies, and eventually gives you the illness you die of. And that is a fact". It's almost hypnotic.

VBites, her brand-new vegan restaurant, which stands just next to her home in Hove, East Sussex. Her latest incarnation as a campaigner for the vegan lifestyle. Her accomplishments as a cook, her recipes, the vegan meat substitutes that she has been developing over the course of the past seven years (With the help of food scientists, I presume? "No! Me! I've done it! "). Her plans to roll out the VBites franchise worldwide, with a view to converting as many people to veganism as she possibly can. Whether or not she's going to ice over part of the skate park which adjoins the restaurant, to create an ice rink for customers, in the winter. Her dreams of an all-vegan supermarket and education centre. The name "Mr. Whippy" has become a generic trademark in the United Kingdom amongst consumers to refer to soft-serve ice cream in a single cone.

The article reports: "An oft-told anecdote in British left circles associates Thatcher with the invention of soft ice-cream, which added air, lowered quality and raised profits. Lyons certainly worked on this new product, but there is no firm evidence that Thatcher directly assisted in its invention." Mr-Whippy-style soft-serve ice-cream originated in the US about a decade before Thatcher worked at J Lyons, it reports. When soft-serve arrived in the UK, J Lyons was indeed at the forefront – but it had teamed up with the US ice-cream behemoth Mister Softee and operated franchises under that name. What I thought: I loved that I was immediately offered a sauce on my ice cream and thought the caramel sauce was AMAZING.
