Did you eat my ice cream?
Is it better than the fish-flavored one?

Hmmm. Soylent green seems to be a part of today's balanced breakfast! ^^

I once ate frozen frying oil thinking it was ice cream.
BEST.ICE CREAM.EVER.

Took my son to Ben & Jerry's today for Free Cone Day but the line was literally out the door and halfway down the block. So we went to Sonic and got waffle cone sundaes instead.
Ben & Jerry's is good, but ice cream is like pizza -- it's all pretty good, even when it's not that good.

Hmm, I don't know.
I'm from NYC, so call me a pizza critic but I've been spoiled most my life. Moved upstate 10 years ago and haven't found great pizza again.

Yea, I saw your other comment ^^
I'm curious though. Is there some geographical place that has great ice cream or something? =P
Comment has been collapsed.
Not really.
I used to make ice cream for a living, and there are certain shops I’ve discovered in various places that make awesome ice cream but they’re few and far between.
Seriously, though, Ben & Jerry is full of crap like guar gum and carrageenan that give it an artificial flavor. Nowhere near as bad as eg coldstone creamery, who basically serve cold chewing gum, but still, noticeable if you’re paying attention.
B&J to me is like NYC corner pizza, better than the garbage served in other parts, but nowhere near as good as places like Juliana’s/Grimaldi/patsy’s

The secret to great ice cream is starting with a good base, using good ingredients, and not mixing in too much air. It's simple, but it's more expensive and more difficult to do on a large scale. It's not something you necessarily notice until you've been exposed to great ice cream, but once you have you can't un-notice it.
For example, I used to love Turkey Hill's Philadelphia Style / All Natural Coffee ice cream (since discontinued). It had a great coffee flavor, and I still think they absolutely nailed the perfect coffee flavor, but they aerated the crap out of it (overrun is the technical term) such that it feels very icy. Once I've had better ice cream with less air mixed in, I couldn't help but taste all the ice crystals in the Turkey Hill.
For supermarket ice cream, my go to is Talenti gelato.
For the best ice cream I've ever had, that would be Capogiro gelato in Philadelphia. They make great gelato and are really inventive with their flavors. I never would have expected Single Malt Scotch gelato to taste good, but it was amazing! And the Bacio - chocolate hazlenut gelato with candied hazlenut bits - is delightful.

Upstate New York! That's where I'm from, so I have to ask, what area are you in? I'm from Schenectady. My dad still lives there, I try to get back once a year or so.
I would agree that NYC pizza is in a class of its own, but even pizza that's not great is still pretty good.

Agreed about pizza, it's just something I unnecessarily gripe about after being spoiled by NYC. I'm probably just pretentious. ^^
I'm by Syracuse, but I've been to the tri-city capital region a few times. A company I worked for was based out of Clifton Park, so every now and then I had to go there for a meeting. =)

Go to the Midwest. Find a chain called pizza ranch, and try not to barf

Just like ice cream or sex, pizza can be bad. It just takes a lot for it to be bad. Something has to go very wrong. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
in my opinion, someone who says they've never had bad pizza probably never had really good pizza
same for sex and ice cream

Yeah, I think that's probably accurate! Fortunately it's pretty rare.

If you're getting bad pizza / ice cream / sex commonly, I think you need to change where you get your pizza / ice cream / sex! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
well, I haven't had bad sex since before I got married, only have bad pizza at kids parties, and avoid ice cream I don't trust
I mean bad pizza, bad ice cream, and bad sex are quite common in this world, and most people just don't know any better

THAT'S MY FAVORITE. I love Phish Food! marshmallows and caramel and chocolate Oh My!

I'm not sure I've tried Phish Food--I don't remember it being one of the options at my local grocery shop as of recent. Some of my favs tho are New York Super Fudge Chunk , Strawberry Cheesecake and the Tonight Dough.

I haven't tried that one yet. Ben and Jerry's broke my heart when they discontinued their creme brulee ice cream, I haven't gone back.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haven't gotten to eat that one yet. Will have to one day.
I like their mango sorbet, strawberry cheesecake and choc chip cookie dough.
The cookie dough probably being my fave.
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, I haven't tried the mango one, the strawberry cheesecake and cookie dough have always been great tho!
Still, nothing can match the MIGHT of the PHISH FOOD!!!! ^^

I don't remember my favourite Ben & Jerry ice cream, but I can assure you it's not Phish. :)

It is one of those rare treats that suppress the guilt. Unlike candy, or chips, or even soda.
Ice cream is life. ^^

Phish Food and Ameridream Cone together is great. But then I have a heart attack.

Ben & Jerry’s is low quality. Innovative flavor combos, but crappy ice cream

Uh, no? Everybody knows Americone Dream is the best.

all that Ben and Jerry is the Starbucks of ice cream.

I've never had it but I doubt it could compete with the sorbet ice cream I've had in Rome.
Have a bump!

Reading that title, a light came to me and I realized the brother characters Ben and Jerry Horne, from Twin Peaks, are probably named after the ice cream. Jesus, man.

A decent ice cream making machine is an investment that's worth it because for me something homemade is better and more rewarding than buying industrial ice cream and who doesn't like ice cream. :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
I can imagine, totally agree about homemade food. I bought a house out in the suburbs a couple years ago, we love having a garden here. =)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have an enclosed garden and keep chickens so I have fresh eggs while a part of my garden is a vegetable garden and a herb garden. I just love fresh ingredients and having herbs to season\compliment my dishes.
Without a garden to work, rest and as a place to enjoy family time I would probably go postal. ;-)

I like Chunky Monkey a lot more. B&J icecream is way too over the top now. Now diabetes in a carton.

I ate Ben & Jerrys ice cream 2 times. Both times it tasted very bad (synthetical). Never again.

I remember me only on cheesecake. The other was brownie, cookies or anything like that. Too long ago and my brain/mind have try to delete all experiences with it :-DDDD

That's a shame, maybe one day give a different flavor a shot? =)
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think so.
When you can try Haegan Dans Icecream. That one is good :o)
Or selfmade icecream with much healthier and better ingredients then the buyed stuff

Phish Food is the Master Ice Cream!
Disagree? Fight me.
