Ice cream is my number one fave ever… since I live on the west coast, its even better because we get Tillamook ice cream which is so freaking good and doesn’t freeze up like a rock and it has the best flavors everrrrrrrrrrrr.
The best flavor of course doesn’t come out till around Christmas time. Their peppermint bark ice cream which is white chocolate ice cream with chunks of peppermint bark and chocolate ITS SO GOOD WHY CAN’T I HAVE IT YEAR ROUND T___T
Also halo halo from Jolliebee is an experience. If you ever manage to find one, please get some halo halo.
How No One Hyping Up the Rocky Road Though Like Chocolate Marshmallow and Nuts so good I personally Enjoy a rocky Road milkshake and if I’m ever at baskin robins I do a Rocky road milkshake and throw a scoop of Cookie dough in there
There a Stand in my town outside the asian market that that does matcha Kitkat Icecream Macaroon that are also the best thing in the planet but that’s a drive and there cash only and close at 9 so it hard to get out there when you work nights
When I was a kid, my teeth were ungodly sensitive to cold so I didn’t have ice cream much as it was very unpleasant. Never developed a taste for it.
I’ll have a vanilla dipped in chocolate if you twist my arm but it doesn’t do much for me. I’m a monster, I know. I will straight ruin a freeze pop though.
The song ruined my ability to retain the actual definition of irony, so I think it’s ironic that I don’t eat ice cream when the shape of the roof of my mouth makes it so I’m incapable of getting brain freeze? Is that what an irony is? 30 years old, don’t even have a concept for what brain freeze must feel like.
While all ice cream is that #GoodStuff, even straight up chocolate which I don’t like very much just in general, Mint Chocolate Chip is the ice cream home where I hang my ice cream hat.
Slip me some of that good good Coffee ice cream though and buddy, I tell you, we’re in business.
If you live near a mexican ice cream place/ palateria, see if you can’t find mamay ice cream there. It tastes like nothing else I’ve ever eaten, in a way that is absolutely incredible. Even if you can’t, mexican ice cream is pretty fantastic on it’s own.
Ben & Jerry’s ruined ice cream for a good 15 years.
I don’t have a problem with Ben & Jerry’s itself, but for all of the 2000’s and most of the 2010’s, every manufacturer thought they needed to add umpteen different flavors and morsels to all of their ice cream. There were several years where I literally couldn’t buy just regular chocolate ice cream at the store, because everything had to have brownie bits or fudge swirls or chocolate-flavored pieces of chocolatey chocolate to their ice cream. It’s gotten better recently, which leads to number 2.
Turkey Hill Natural is the best mass-market brand ice cream available.
Typically only 4-5 ingredients - milk, cream, sugar, and a flavoring. It’s divine, and isn’t filled with the preservatives and emulsifiers that leaves most grocery store ice cream in a state where it can return to room temperature ans still keep it’s shape. It is slightly grainier than emulsifier-filled brands, but that’s not an issue for me because
I always mush up my ice cream with my spoon until it approaches the consistency of soft serve.
I just mash, stir, mash, stir, until it is perfectly smooth and creamy. It perfectly distributes the flavors and removes and graininess or ice crystals. Also, my wife thinks I’m a monster, but I’ve been doing it for 30+ years and I’m not stopping now.
gasp I’ve found my people! I smush up my ice cream too. And my entire family thinks I’m weird because of it. Really I am weird, but aren’t we all? And certainly not for smushing up ice cream at least.
I’m OK with it once in awhile. I think it was B&J’s Stephen Colbert ice cream that had chocolate covered potato chips in it and it was awesome. I just think the whole thing got out of hand. I mean, there was an entire national chain built around mixing crazy crap in ice cream.
Ice cream is my favorite food and go to summer treat. Gf and I just discovered Diamonds in central Ohio, Hispanic originated ice cream place and they are amazing. Right next to a great halal grocer too. Now I just want ice cream. Man oh man.
If anyone is still questioning the moral superiority of ice cream, I present the history of the ice cream sundae (as related on Cooking Channel’s Food: Fact or Fiction this morning. This is what happens when I telework.)
In 1875, there were 2 nationwide phenomena in the United States: ice cream sodas and Blue Laws (Blue Laws were laws banning various vices on Sundays to encourage church-going).
In Evanston (aka Heavenston), IL, the town council banned ice cream sodas in Sundays. After many unhappy years, one particular drug store owner decided he couldn’t afford to go one day a week without his main money maker. So, he decided to exploit a loophole in the law.
The law didn’t ban ice cream, it banned soda water (I guess the bubbles were believed to be too, uh, stimulating.) So this owner made a Sunday Soda, which was an ice cream soda, complete with syrup, but without the soda water. Eventually it just became known as a Sunday.
It caught on at stores across town, with shops adding whipped cream, nuts and cherries. But the council didn’t appreciate having their Blue Laws mocked by the name Sunday. So, the owners mocked them even further, with alternate spellings of “Sunday”, like Sundaye, Sundi, and of course, Sundae.
So, basically, both the sundae and it’s name are an eff-you to people trying to enforce religious practices through law.
