We have gotten gelato in Italy and it is outstanding but no idea if their is real or not real gelato.

Who knew that ice cream is made from goats milk?

Does the goat union know about this and approve it?

Supposedly if the gelato is displayed in stainless steel tubs, it's made on site. If in plastic tubs, it's factory made.


Still doesn't answer the question is it real or not.


Gelato in Italy was too rich for me. Tried it a few times and gave up. I prefer ice cream made without eggs. I believe it's called Philadelphia style.

Butter pecan is our favorite. Per the current pandemic, about 10 years ago we went to LSL and bought ice cream from Baskin Robbins. We saw the clerk was sniffling with a slight cough. Our desire for ice cream overruled our good sense. We caught a bug from that sick clerk and got sick as dogs. Never again.

Blue Bell Only and It's Still 1/2 Gallon
 

As far as my husband is concerned, Blue Bell from the little creamery in Brenham, TX is the ONLY ice cream worth eating and Homemade Vanilla is the ONLY flavor. As for me, Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla is No. 1, but I certainly wouldn't turn down a serving of Moolinium Crunch.

I also love Talenti's Sea Salt Caramel.

Everybody knows, that goats give milk
Everybody knows, that cows do too
Everybody knows
the deck is stacked
Everybody knows
the war is over
Everybody knows
the good guys lost
That's how it goes
when everybody knows

If the virus goes away and we do go back to Italy will look at the containers it is sitting in. Loved the taste of Gelato in Italy have had it elsewhere and just not the same.

Pralines and cream has been my favorite for years but sea salt caramel is a near second.

The Scoop Deck in Wells Maine....best homemade maple walnut & chocolate walnut fudge. Yes I'm a nut person!

Its a good one back in the days we went to baskin robbins that was the one I almost always picked

Does anyone remember the Good Humor ice cream truck with the Good Humor man in the white uniform? Our Good Humor mans name was Jerry. The Chocolate Eclair, coconut bar, or how about the X15 popsicle shapes like a space ship. Those were the days. All the kids came out of their homes and gathered at the Good Humor truck.

I have always loved Eskimo Pies.

Chocolate chip for me (NOT mint, or cookies & cream, or other variations). This simple option is surprisingly VERY hard to find though. I'll settle for coffee or strawberry. Also like maple walnut. My favorite ice cream bar was the chocolate eclair that had a chocolate fudge bar hidden inside around the stick.

You better scoop up all you could find. People who see racism in everything think this is an affront to the Eskimos so they will be taking them off the market.

Growing up in Michigan we had a dairy that made their own ice cream and I loved their blue moon. It had some pineapple in it. Nothing like you can buy at the grocery store.

Pineapple in ice cream? New one on me.

We had Good Humor and Mr. Softee on Long Island when I was a kid.

We had good humor and Mr Softee, been so long I forgot about him.

Also carvel stores back than.

Favorite store in Brooklyn was an ice cream shop called Jahns which had a creation called the kitchen sink which was a huge bowl filled with over a dozen scoops of ice cream and lots of flavorings.

Needed a village to finish it.

We used to go to the Jahn's in Richmond Hill, Queens. I think my brother and I would split a "Super Duper."

I wonder if any of their stores are still open?

Just wondering how many calories we've consumed while reading this thread, yuum!

Thanks so much for the link. Did not realize there were so many of them. Sad only one is left. Thread said kitchen sink serves 6, would have to be able to put away a heck of a lot of ice cream to do that.

The one on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn was a great spot to go after a movie.

Love, love, love rum raisin, Hagen Daz.

Look for Talenti Double Dark Chocolate gelato at Publix or Winn Dixie. It's what you're looking for.

Aldi had in their special finds this week Gelato. Bought it yesterday and cant wait to try it

Long Island also had Jahn's when I was a kid. I believe it was in Levittown. Jahn's have a Wiki page and it says "Only the Jahn's in Jackson Heights Queens is still operating".

Welcome



For an amazing number of choices and some great tasting ice cream, "The Ice Cream Show" in downtown Chattanooga (near the foot bridge) is hard to beat. It's worth watching the video on what makes it so special.

Found it very disappointing. Not like the real thing in Italy.

Since I don’t eat anything with sugar I typically don’t eat ice cream, and it’s about the only sugarless thing I really miss. However, my wife and I found that Kilwins in Spanish Springs serves a sugarless ice cream that is very good. That has now become a frequent destination for us on our bike rides.

There was also a Jahn's in West Islip in the Korvettes shopping center.

Wow Korvettes is a name I have not heard in many years. Was a great discount store in its day.

hands down pineapple gelato is my favorite....first tasted it back in '94 when we were in Italy, been a fan ever since. I've tried making pineapple gelato a few times, I get pretty close to the real thing, but I really need an authentic Italian gelato recipe to duplicate it

(otherwise it's like drinking Guinness over here vs. in Ireland...it's close, but not what they pour in Ireland)

today however, we are going to make some 'lavender ice cream'....nice recipe, the flavor comes from dried lavender flowers ground into dust. We'll freeze what we make while awaiting the Mission figs to show up in the grocery. We bake the figs in honey and port wine and serve them hot over the lavender ice cream. Lot's of great flavors going on in that bowl for sure.

Publix has a delicious Maple Walnut ice cream.

My favorite is Publix chocolate chip.
Followed by Dulce de leche and maple walnut.

I grew up walking distance to Carvel on Long Island.

We have fig trees have picked hundreds of them and given most to neighbors.

No clue what kind they are, have asked but they are not talking.:bigbow:

Gee, that location is even closer to where I was from, Lindenhurst, NY.
