Graeter's and Skyline

[skyking]

Before I left Cincinnati in December there was an article in the paper saying that Publix was going to start carrying Graeter's ice cream (a Cincinnati premium ice cream and Oprah's favorite). Has anyone seen it?

While looking for Graeter's I did find frozen Skyline Chili. A pleasant surprise. For those not familiar with Skyline, try it over spaghetti with shreaded cheddar cheese (a "three way") and diced onions and/or beans if you want a "four or five way".

They may not all understand. But I do. Yum.

[chuckinca]

I don't!

Never heard of using chili on spaghetti.

Fresh Market has the ice cream. So Good.

Thanks. I will give them a try.

Chili over spagetti??? Never heard of that! If you ever chance to travel in Wisconsin...the folks there put macaroni "in" their chili....had never heard of that neither!! Many areas of the country "do" their chili in varied recipes!

We have bought it at Publix. Right now we have chocolate chip. It is with the other premium ice creams. If you have problems finding it, ask at the service desk and maybe says thank you for stocking it, suggest your favorite flavor.

Now really mess with the locals and tell them there is a hint of chocolate in the Skyline chili.

. Me neither. I'm still trying to figure out why the chili spagetti was in the ice cream compartment! :shocked:

Blue Bell ice cream is the best and can be found in the ice cream section!

We tried Skyline while passing through Ohio...just not getting the appeal. I think chili on spaghetti is fine, just thought the chili was incredibly watery. Maybe we just stopped at a bad location??

You can request your chili "dry" in Cincinnati, but what I did is stick crackers underneath the spaghetti.
Does Publix carry the best Grater's flavor - Buckeye Blitz?
Probably the only thing I REALLY miss about Cincinnati!

I have had Graeter's and it is good but not as good as Blue Bell which is also available at Publix. Graeter's is in second place according to my taste.

[chuckinca]

Went to Publix to check out the Graeter's and Blue Bell.

Pint of Graeter's @ $5.39

Pint of Blue Bell @ $2.29 (on sale for $2.00)
Half Gallon of Blue Bell @ $6.99

Half Gallon of Publix Premium @ $4.59 (on sale for $3.50)


You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Cincinnati chili is kinda like Scotch; an aquired taste. It has spices in it that are most uncommon for chili elsewhere, including CINNAMON! It is supposedly Greek in origin, although Cincinnati was predominantly settled by Germans. It doesn't make sense to me either.

I love Cincinnati chili, especially the lighter than air grated cheese on top and I love Graeter's ice cream and I love LaRosa's Pizza. I may have to go into therapy soon. :ohdear:

I had Cincinnati Skyline chili once and really liked it for a change. I'll look for it here.

Haven't had Graeter's but my friend introduced me to Talenti Gelato, also at Publix. It was wonderful.

I'm glad Publix orders items their customers request, just so long as they don't take Blue Bell away.

I believe Rasberry Chocolate Chip is the the favorite flavor in Cincinnati. I am going to go back to Publix and look again. Tried the Publix Premium Ice Cream. Not "premium" by any definition.

[graciegirl]

I also miss United Dairy Farmer Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

About 3 weeks ago the food channel was in Hyde Park (Cincinnati neighborhood) and they were talking skyline chili - and was doing a part of the show on it. My friends ask me - and on Saturday night - we had Skyline Time at our house. They liked it - and we are going to introduce more of our neighbors to it. Love the post - will look for Graeters also.

If Publix does not have, Fresh Market has the Raspberry chocolate Chip.

Skyline chile is an institution! It is kind of like Kentucky Basketball if you are from Kenkucky. You grow up liking it. We even loved Skyline chile in Kentucky. That shows you how we liked our neighbors to the north.

Now I have to go back to Publix to get some Talenti Gelato (we really like Gelato Classico Vanilla Bean and Dark Chocolate)

Break out the TUMS.......:boom:

I traveled back and forth to Ohio and every trip i had to stop at Skyline and then off to Graeter's to have it all packed to bring home to the kids. They always said they missed me while i traveled but i think they just wanted the 4way,s and 8 kinds of ice cream.

[SALYBOW]

Graters and Skyline in TV!!! WOW WOW WOW YUMMY I'm so excited, I just can't hide it. I agree about the Buckeye Blitz. Yippie :bigbow: :clap2:

Great idea! We are going to take some Skyline Chili dip to a neighborhood party to let others experience the taste.

Where do you live and when will this be happening??:coolsmiley:

Oh, and Skyking? Have you any idea what happened to Boomer??????????

We always put chile on macaroni or mash potatoes. Growing up, it would fill us up for less.

[graciegirl]

Let's hear it for learning about other cultures!!

Penquin...I don't want to marginalize you but you were missin' out!!:a040:

First you put the thin spaghetti, then the chili flavored with chocolate and cinnamon, then the beans, then the grated onions and then the finely grated yellow cheese, about two buckets of that.

That is a chili five way, Cincinnati style. Vunderful!!! and Mahvalous and YUMMY!
