** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread **

[ErickStevens]

Okay, don't know what ice cream to rescoop for dinner tonight. I'll buy the first recommendation posted. I am going to Publix and they have B&J's, Talenti, Graeter's, Breyer's, Edy's, Blue Bell, and of course Publix brand.

Ready? Go.

Every flavor of Graeter's is awesome. srs

For Jeni's, probably brown butter almond brittle, or buckeye state (though that doesn't have a swirl or anything like that).

Notes taken.

What Graters?

Buckeye
Coconut Chip
Cookie Dough Chip
PB Chip?

Thoughts??

I can't vouch for Buckeye or Cookie Dough but woodsmash. I've had PB Chip, Vanilla Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and Raspberry Chocolate Chip. They're all awesome.

Is as good as Chad said. I am not a lemon-flavor person, but this ticks all the boxes. Very impressed with Three Twins so far.

Glad you liked it! Really need to explore this brand further.

Had the Publix Premium Egg Nog ice cream last night. Meh. Its good but not great. Plus zero mixins so really is like a souped up vanilla. Egg nog taste is there but not as prominent as i would want it to be. Now i have a half gallon of it to eat-will need to add my own mixins.
6/10

I was a bit hesitant to pick this one up anyways, but I may stay away after reading this. Eggnog ice cream can only be so good, and I think Talenti may be the only one able to do it justice.

Blue Belly Krazy Kookie Dough


Just the base alone was amazing. The mixins were plentiful and chewy, but didn't taste like sugar cookies to me. Would definitely be rated higher if chocolate chip cookie dough was used instead. Would buy again. 9/10

[psychodiver9]

^Definitley wouldn rate it that high. Maybe a 7-8. Very average to me

Pretty good for just 200cals/serve.

The only Grater's flavor I've had is Buckeye Blitz, but I can honestly say it is one of my favorite flavors ever. Judging by how much you seem to like PB-flavored ice creams, I would definitely recommend you give it a try.

When I was talking with Graeter's they informed me Buckeye Blitz is now their Toffee Chip.

That's interesting. Their website lists them as two completely different flavors. http://www.graeters.com/flavors.aspx

Whoops. Not Toffee Chip. Meant Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. http://www.theicecreaminformant.com/...ut-butter.html

Ahhh. That makes a lot more sense. And I almost forgot how many calories are in a pint. Good thing I'm not cutting...

I downed a pint of my favorite B&J's tonight, Cinnamon Buns.

[Tumors]

And thus is the problem with eggnog ice creams/gelatos. They're nice, but there is no way to soup-up the base with anything. And so they're bland in comparison to other flavors.

Lol last year i actually tried mixing it with eggnog to see if it would heighten the taste, didn't do much for me even then.

[Tdiguy]

Honestly wouldnt buy it again, not a huge coffee flavor guy anyway but it wasnt good at all, mixins were dry as fuk to lol

Great interview. I love the shoutout for this thread and your writing ability as well.

[Robboe]

The fresh market did an ok fig, but it was just a little swirl. I would love to try christmas pudding though.
I can't believe we don't have SoCo in Albany. I love their flavors.
The whole foods is going in next year but I'll be gone and alaska has terrible selection, looks like I'll be making a lot of orders.

You referring to the biscotti and fig? I've had it, really enjoyed it.

[Robboe]

Someone either in this thread or the old thread recommended this. Glad they did, enjoyed it muchly. Nothing mind blowing, but definitely not bad.

[deveritt]

HD on sale again. Someone mentioned recently that the coffee flavour is really good so I had to get it. Also wanted to try the caramel one. The other two I already know are fantastic. And decided to try out one of the new Irresistibles line. Looking for input on whether any of the 1.5L tubs are worth it. Specifically the Red Velvet.

Yea its pretty rich and great with other treats. And I did mean the biscotti fig, I liked it just not as much fig as I was hoping.
Loving the new freshmarket brand flavors and hope they expand their line.
Did you get to try their pumpkin? It was sold out last time I went.

[psychodiver9]

Probably gonna hit up coldstone tonight. Suggestions?

Pumpkin if they have it, amazing.



Coffee Lovers Only is a great one, or Cookie Dough you want some my favorite.

Get a good base (Cake batter is amazing) and your favorite mix-ins

[psychodiver9]

Thanks bob. Will see what I'm in mood for. Kinda over pumpkin for a bit I think but that looks hnnng.

[Chadillac2000]

Turkey Hill produces a top-notch cookie dough flavor with their Double Dunker.

Just picked some of this up and had a bowl of Whole Food's 365 Peppermint ice cream.
http://scoopalicious.blogspot.com/20...ole-foods.html

I don't usually buy the generic supermarket brand ice cream, but this was extremely high quality, creamy, smooth, and delicious. Great for the peppermint lovers. Price is good too since it's the store brand rather than a brand name.

I agree with this definitely my favorite base

[Serpentarius]
