** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread **

[Karas893]

This thread is killing it so far. Keep it up guys!

Private Selection's seasonal offering, Carrot Cake, ends up being the best of the bunch. You should probably get some before it's gone.

Thanks Chad, I missed out on Ben and Jerry's Carrot Cake so now I have a reason to try Private Selection.

Pray for me that I don't eat the whole carton.

Also to anyone, as I said before I just couldn't get into Haagen dazs ice cream. Can anyone recommend a good flavor, preferably your favorite, that you think might make me a fan?

IMO salted caramel truffle is the only one worth the cals. it is, however, in my top 3 i'd say and got a very high ranking from chad.

Chad have you tried HD's exclusive flavors yet? I would love to know your thoughts on Praline's & Cream and Banana Foster (as you've done like 9 banana reviews).

Haven't seen Pralines & Cream anywhere. And unfortunately no 7-11's around my area (which I think Banana Fosters is exclusive to).

I went on an ice cream hunt yesterday and didn't find anything cool. My local spot had all the same Jeni's flavors.

Going to rescoop Graeter's Raspberry Chocolate Chip tonight. I love that stuff.

Publix Premium releases their entire holiday ice cream lineup.

Since Dublin Mudslide was just mentioned...Someone in the old thread mentioned that he really enjoyed it even though he hates coffee. For those who have tried, I am not a huge coffee guy (I drink coffee, but it's more for the caffeine than anything else), so I'd welcome some opinions on whether or not you think I might enjoy it anyway.

I may be me you are referring to. I dislike coffee but I really liked Dublin Mudslide! I for sure consider it a re-buy and can't wait to try it again a second time.

It's a Walgreens exclusive. Do you guys have Walgreens where you live?

Salted Caramel Truffle is excellent, and if you like Americone Dream (or even if you don't) then you should know that Caramel Cone is much better and one of my favorite HD flavors. Caramel ice cream with caramel swirls and plenty of mixins which happens to be fudge dipped sugar cones...it's a perfect transitional flavor for those used to B&Js and a lot of mixins, although SCT is no slouch either. If you can find Praline's and Cream then definitely pick that up. The good thing is that like B&J's HD offers those small mini-tubs...I know they have Caramel Cone, Dulce De Leche, and Chocolate PB as well as Vanilla, Strawberry and Mango so you can always pick up a small tub if you're worried about commitment SCT & Pralines and Cream don't come in the small tubs though.

Jealous of this and the Gingerbread flavor. There was a retailer in my area who carried Blue Bell for a bit, but the selection was pretty small and it's no longer being offered. Come to think of it, Gingerbread doesn't seem to get nearly as much love as some other holiday flavors like Pumpkin, or even its "Christmas-y" companion, Peppermint. I don't see nearly as many companies with Gingerbread-flavored products.

I do actually. I'll have to check it out...thanks for the suggestion!

I am not the biggest carrot cake fan but you have me intrigued.. I've loved every other Private Selection offering, so I may make this my next pick up

[The Solution]

Awesome! I repped all the voters so far!

Voted as well, Some other flavors that were hard to pass up. A generic PB Cookie Dough would be good.

[The Solution]

Yo, Brad at IceCreamSource will work with you man. Seriously, class act.

However, it's you man, I like it. A lot, actually. Thanks to NOLA, I've been craving more delicate, and decadent ice creams, occ is one of them

What do you make will work with you? its 30$ including shipping.. pretty steep.

Hey chad have you had BB's carrot cake? If you have how does this compare? BB's is honestly up there as one of my fav flavors, to me it matches some premium flavors

[StephSkywalker]

I think the same thing when people post Blue Bell, Publix, etc.. I don't think those brands are carried anywhere in Illinois, let alone Chicago...

^^This... I hate coffee and I loved Dublin Mudslide... very underrated flavor imo.

None of there stuff is worth the cals IMO. Recently had java chip which was good but almost 300/serving and salted caramel truffle. Again good but ssc is waaaaay better

Anyone who wants to resurrect Mission To Marzipan from B&J's...

GO HERE AND VOTE! http://www.benjerry.com/contact-us/resurrect (Choose Mission To Marzipan!)

Done. All this talk/pictures about it makes me want to try it. Great, yet another flavor I can't get lol. I was hoping they would send you a coupon for joining their mailing list. Not even a "Thanks for subscribing!"

[psychodiver9]

Gonna have to research. A bunch that sound better than missionto marz

I'm not too familiar with MTM, but sent in a request as well...and a Snickerdoodle one.

I'm a big fan of BnJ Milk and Cookies and the Mint Cookie. I also liked Private Selection's Chai Tea and Gingerbread Cookie(someone correct me if I got that flavor wrong) so I figured BnJ almond cookie would be good, as well. I'm just a fan of cookies+ice cream. I think it's a texture/flavor thing for me

[psychodiver9]

Bluebell Christmas cookies. Taste is hnnng. I just wish their stuff was a bit creamier

[ErickStevens]

I <3 Graeter's...

^ I'm usually not fond of hard chunks of chocolate in my ice cream, but the Graeter's chips seem to melt in your mouth much easier than the chunks you find in B&J pints.

[tom626]

I'd be game for any of those. Sorry MTM lovers, marzipan doesn't float my boat.

Isnt it 800cals? Not to split hairs, but the last two I had were 200cals a serving.
