Favorite flavors are Mint Chip and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. Favorite brands are Ghiradelli and Brusters. And for the price you can not knock Publix brand especially the black jack cherry.

I haven't thought of toasted almond bars for years. They were the best. Used to like the creamsicles too. Might have been a Bungalow Bar truck, though.

I know how you feel but Bluebell is still 1/2 gallon.

I don't drink coffee but love coffee ice cream. Ben and Jerry's Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch is the best, but Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge will do in a pinch.

I also look forward to seasonal availability of peppermint candy flavor, usually only available in the Fall holidays months.

I met my future wife in high school when she worked at my local Baskin Robbins and I was in there a lot! :)

To be healthy, eat only cheese and ice cream made from Goats Milk!

My favorite flavor used to be be Ben & Jerry's "Totally Nutz" vanilla ice cream as only they could make it with nuts of every kind. I loved the crispy crunchiness with the smooth sweet. But, alas, they stopped making it and it is a graveyard flavor now. Fast forward, tried everything and nothing compared until Blue Bell came out with "Moo-llennium Crunch". It's even better with nuts, chunks of chocolate and caramel in vanilla ice cream. It's soooo good. I try to get it in the pint sized containers so I won't eat so much. The half gallon (yes, a half gallon) is gone in 2 days between the two of us. A good second is Blue Bell "Pecan Pralines and Cream". That one is good because it's too sweet for me to eat much.

Surprisingly, Blue Bunny and Tillomock at Winn Dixie or Walmart is very good as well.

I agree that Blue Bunny is very good. I like their Cherry Chocolate Chunk better than Cherry Garcia, at half the price.

Supermarket....... Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk.

Ice cream parlor....... Brownwood's Hershey's Cappuccino Crunch. For those of you who like coffee ice cream, this is, hands down, my favorite coffee flavored ice cream. STRONG coffee flavor with lot's of heath bar crunch and large fudge pieces in there too. YUMMY!!!!

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.
