What is your favorite kind. Do you put stuff on it ?

― anthony, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Argh, why do I have to think about this while I'm on a diet. My favorite is the Starbucks Dulche De Leche - it's damn freaking good. I only put stuff on it if it's plain ice cream. Like you go to the ice cream man and do a cherry dip on vanilla, wicked good.

― Ally, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ben'N'Jerry's Caramel Chew-Chew. To put stuff on it would be an insult.

Actually, really, any B&J with chocolate in it. I don't like their fruity or nutty things, but their chocolate cannot be beat. New York Superchunk Fudge, Half Baked, Phish Phood (crap band, but ACE ice cream), Mint Chocolate Cookie...

Good god, this stuff is better than crack. And more expensive than crack, as well, in most of the UK. £3.69 for a little tiny pot.

― masonic boom, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

God, lately Ben & Jerry are so tempting and I don't know why!

I've discovered the wonders of:
chunky monkey, wavy gravy, chubby hubby and raspberry gone coconuts, which is good because I was beginning to think all food had to do was rhyme and I'd become obsessed with it.

― Nude Spock, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Out with a gorgeous voluptuous supachick last night, she insisted on about 8 kinds of Haaaaagen before Shrek. I'm good so I had one teeny spoonful of hers, which was caramel explosion - awesome. But even after that she wouldn't take me home, goddamn.

Best of all though, chocolate brownie flavour with actual bits of chocolate brownie in it. Is that B&J? Good god that shit melts.

I'm leaving Paul way behind now.

― chris, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, B&J are classic as fuck. Oh my god. I used to be obsessed with White Russian. Then I wanted nothing but Cool Britannia. I was touristing countries thru ice cream. Both are now discontinued, THOUGH Cool Britannia is featured in one of their "mixed up" batches. S'Mores B&J is pretty good, as is the Brownie one and Cherry Garcia.

OH! Has anyone ever had Microbatch ice cream? IT IS THE ICE CREAM OF GOD. Tiramisu, Strawberries & Champagne, Apple Pie - you will never, ever, ever eat anything like this in your life. Like a Midori Sour, it is like nothing you've ever had.

― Ally, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I wish to put forward the honourable "From Russia With Buzz". It is ice cream! With caffiene!! YARS it is GRAND!!! No stuff. Eating from tub = classic. Scooping out tiny bits into a seperate dish = dud.

― sarah, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This is an evil, evil thread because it makes me pine for some Ben and Jerry's and I really should keep away from the stuff.

It's all about the chunky monkey with me -- it is the flavor of the gods! They are all great though, there's not a flavor that exists that I would say no to.

The cool britannia (which, pathetically enough, I think I've mentioned on the boards before) was wonderful too. Bring it back, Euro company that bought Ben and Jerry's!

The microbatch stuff I've not heard of before, but if they have a flavor with champagne I definitely have to check it out.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Cool Britannia was like awe inspiring. I mean, it was fantastical stuff. Microbatch is wicked, but hard to find - I've only seen it in NYC, though this could just be the result of not leaving NYC very often recently for ice cream.

Haas anyone from the west coast ever gone to Cold Stone Creamery ice cream parlour? Now THAT'S the shit. They take your flavor of ice cream and then mix in whatever you want in practically the universe right in front of you.

― Ally, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sorry to rub this one in but until next thursday I live it Italy. Ice cream is cheap plentiful and not worth buying unless its made on the premises, (microbatch?), as it is almost everywhere. The top round here is a place called Miretti. Does coffee icecream like no other. My current favorite is Meringata, creamy with little pieces of merangue in it great with strawberry or peach. Tiramisu coffee straciatella, giuduja, wich is like dark nutella, bacio bacio bianco. However possibly the best was a place in rome near the trevi fountain that wouldn't allow oyu to have combination that they thought were inappropriate.

Also from rome the greatest Granita al Caffe, chunks of sweetened coffee ice with cream underneath and cream below. Crack for the soul.

― Ed, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ed, are you going to Italy with anyone?

― chris, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

::drools uncontrollably::

Forgot From Russia With Buzz.

Some day, the food of the gods will be made, which will encompass all the divine food groups: Coffee, Ice Cream and Alcohol. I've tried pouring Kahlua over From Russia With Buzz ice cream, but that's not quite it yet.

― masonic boom, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Make a pot of really strong black (real) coffee. Dissolve a bit of sugar. Leave to cool. Put in fridge. When chilled, pour into cups add vanilla icecream and a lot of bourbon. sprinkle nutmeg.

Yum.

― chris, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Going, I've been living here for a year, till next thursday. Student exchange programme. Slacking off lectures in a different language and the EU gave me some money to do it aswell.

Nice life, jammy git.

― chris, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm pretty anal about this as I start with Vanilla. If the maker can't get it right, they're fuk'd. So:

Haagen Dazs vanilla and Breyer's vanilla - yeah, the one with pod bits in.

― suzy, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Even more fundamental than the vanilla is the plain cream flavour. That has to be right before even you get to the vanilla.

― Ed, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The Cold Stone place I spoke of had the BEST sweet cream ice cream EVER IN THE WORLD.

Gelato, speaking of Italy - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

― Ally, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I just got back from Italy: that stuff if wicked good. Over here I like the one with the chunks of cookie dough, grocery store brand being preferred for social (i.e. fuck Ben and Jerry) and financial reasons.

― Kris, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I must add to the B&J worship, especially since I was one of the semi-original fans from the early eighties -- it was big news when they opened a franchise in Saratoga Springs, and lemme tell ya, I think that place was always packed.

A Slice of Heaven -- in 1993 or so, I came into about 100 free pints of Ben and Jerry's via coupons via a friend. About fifteen went to my dad as a birthday gift, thirty to my class at the time. The rest I hoarded, then devoured. Num.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Favorite as a kid was Peppermint Stick from Friendly's in New England. It's gone way downhill, though. Now I'd go with the Haagen Daz Dulce con Leche. Never had the Starbucks version Ally mentioned, but I have been to Cold Stone Creamery and yup, it's incredible. So sweet and creamy and they beat it up just right. The staff is hard to take, though. Did they do that whooping and hollering routine when you tipped them, Ally? Really discourages gratuities, I think.

I sometimes mix peanut butter with vanilla, since Haagen Daz no longer makes that flavor.

― Arthur, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ben and Jerry is good. But here in canada they have reese penut butter cup icecream . Choclate fudge with PB swirls and then these little cups .

― anthony, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I love Ned claiming he's an original B&J fan. Soon he'll be cutting 4REAL into his arm and spitting on us new B&J fans.

― Ally, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

FUCK YES. But I was not in Vermont in the late seventies or so, so clearly I'm "Stay Beautiful" era instead of "New Art Riot."

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ben and Jerry are motherfuckers, I met them once and they talked about corporate mergers like they were Satan. WTF? This was before they were bought out. Their plant in VT is alright, though, you get free ice cream. Add homemade chocolate sauce, freshly picked raspberries, local maple syrup, and marshmellow sauce, and B&J is pretty great. But only Bart's has french toast flavor.

― Otis Wheeler, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have been spoiled after working at an ice cream maker's shop for a year during college:

Toscanini's Ice Cream (located in Cambridge, Mass, in Central Square, Harvard Square, and at MIT) makes the best vanilla i have ever tasted. Other flavors of mention: Guiness, Cardamom, Cappicino, Grape Nut, Orange Creamsicle, Belgian Chocolate, Mexican Chocolate, Mango, and hundreds of others.

Definately worth a visit the next time you are in Boston.

― marianna, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ed, I did exactly the same thing, slacking off lectures and spending Erasmus money. If I could spend another year of my life over again, that would be it. Italian ice cream knocks socks off everything as far as I'm concerned. A scoop of cinammon and a scoop of hazlenut, from Frulli in Bergamo is tops, but a scoop of really sour lemon and a scoop of raspberry from pretty much anywhere is nearly as good.

If we're talking posh supermarket ice cream, it's got to be cookie dough, straight from the tub, don't stop until it's finished. If we're reaching into the freezer at the newsagents, it's a Tangle Twister for me. And I *have* to lick it round in a spiral.

― Madchen, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You know, I used to go to the same B&J shop in Saratoga as Ned, back in the early 80s (it was walking distance of Cafe Lena where my dad used to do sound and reminice about Bob Dylan with the hippies). But you don't see MEEEEEE claiming original fan status, do you? No, cause real Old Skool fans don't have to advertise how long they've been into X, they just are.

― masonic boom, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

For those of us who've ever been to or lived in Oxford, George and Davis beats Ben and Jerry's anyday. They have a petition whereby you can request new flavours. Get enough signatures and they'll make it. Hence Turkish Delight ice cream and so on...

Fave flavour from a tub, though, is B&J Caramel Chew Chew.

― Paul Strange, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I had tiramisu and pannacotta gelati in (sigh) Venice, it (d)rools.

Mourning the loss of: Haagen-Dazs swiss almond vanilla. The bastards make green tea 'scream for the Japanese market and I WANT SOME.

Horrible stuff: Maple Nut from Kemps, my mother's very effective form of keeping her children out of her freezer stash.

Apparently B&J market-tested KitKat chunk in vanilla but didn't launch it. Idiots. They're also turning into a very un-PC company, as they're Starbucking someone's nice wee chain so they can take over in Texas.

Kate: we'll try to work out an ice cream cocktail for you. I think the White Russian Milkshake is a very good idea and a very useful application of my drugstore diner skills.

― suzy, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

White Russian Milkshake... uuuuuuuhhhhhhhh...

No! No! What are you people trying to do to me? I have to stick to my diet! I have to leave on tour two weeks after that party! It's OK if all of London thinks I'm a fat slob, but not the rest of the UK!

― masonic boom, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

There's a tacky American diner on the corner of Old Compton St where we once took my homesick American friend to play Gene Pitney records at her. We found it to be the home of the Kit Kat sundae! Yeah! Chocolate sauce everywhere!!! Would this count as an "indie" ice cream? Or PUNK?? YEAHPUNKROCK with extra drizzle.

There was also this specialist ice cream shop in Gisburn which made their own. It was beautiful. Quite sad it's in one of the remotest places ever... even from Barnoldswick it's not that easy to get to. Dough!

― sarah, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tacky American Diner? What kind? What kind? The Old Skool made out of a train's diner car and serving anything you like so long as it's fried in lard kind of diner with shiny chrome and red leather? Or the more interesting NYC Greek diner with the weird "it is our pleasure to serve you!" coffeecups with pictures of the Parthenon on them? Oh, I miss diners! I could kill for an "Athenian Omelette". And a kit-kat sundae... that doesn't sound very American, but it sounds delicious, anyway. Must investigate. Is it 24 hours? All good diners are 24 hours.

― masonic boom, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Urgh, Ed's Easy Diner. I'm REALLY anal about diner food that purports to be American. My first job was in one of the last drugstore diners, we had to wear the uncomfy white pinnies and everything. My mum, aunt and sister all did their stints there as teens so you can imagine I come from stock with (ahem) very definite ideas about what's a hamburger, what's a sundae, what's a milkshake, etc.

Look out: extremely skilled gastropornographer in the area.

Ed's Easy Diner? Oh, thanks for getting my hopes up for nothing. Poo. Ed's Easy Diner is about as American as Arthur Treacher's English Style Fish & Chips is British. Sigh.

I keep hoping for a REAL diner in the UK, but I fear there's no such thing. I mean, even I can find a proper pub in NYC. Why is there no diner in London? Waaaahhhhhh!!!

― masonic boom, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I dunno, we have your McDonalds, your Burger King, your KFC, your Pizza Hut, your Starbucks and 5 billion other US food emporia and now you are moaning that we don't have your diners! Give us a break!

But Italian icecream rules even above Ben and Jerry's and George and Davis.

― Emma, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My New York diner experience: On the second vist to a diner, the gruff burly newyorker Waiter/Server came over and said very disdainfully, 'IN NEW YORK WE TIP'. Now we thought we had done so quite hansomely on the previous visit. we were far too scared to eat there again. But proper diner food/ambience is an absolute classic but surely cannot be transplated as sure as you can't transplant a fish and chip shop or a pub or a proper pizza restaurant.

You can however get a half decent chocolate malted (to my english tastebuds).

Suzy can you make us milkshakes in your blender at the party?

― Ed, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That meant to say

You can at least get a half decent chocolate malted (to my english tatsebuds) at Ed's Diner, which must count for something

but I got diverted.

― Ed, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm pathetic, I have no blender. Bring one, and it's White Russian milkshake time.

I think we have one, but we're bringing the boombox.

Sigh... Emma, the problem is, Diners are the one GOOD purely American food, while they've only imported the crap Burger Kings and McDonalds and stuff. And where the heck are the Dairy Queens? I mean, honestly... why can't Britain bring over the good stuff?

― masonic boom, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Cooool. You're also prosecco boy, therefore you rule. I'm off to the bank now, freelance cheques ahoy. Wait a while before you drop this info on the picnic thread, as I've just posted No Blender = No Milkshakes type bribe and want a glut of blenders to make us all very happy.

I am so going to have to get a bottle of special Mexican K using the Sin Fund.

Kate, you're excused because ja, I am thanking you for the music. Tak somykket.

And SNAP, SNAP, SNAP on the diner/soda fountain opinion. It's like my other chief London annoyance: Chinese food does not come in the little white box. I have been saying for 10 years that the first quality C- food takeaway to open up and USE the white boxes in Central London will make a fucking fortune, the public will love it and the style mag set will totally wet themselves. But I digress. Green tea ice cream, anyone? I haven't figured out how to make it alcoh...uhhhh, yes I have. Saké.

― suzy, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You can buy Chinese ready meals in US styley cardboard boxes all ready to go in the microwave, not sure which particular purveyor of ready meals make them but they exist. I'm sure it is just the same as your American Chinese boxes.

Also - if there are any quality Chinese takeaways I have yet to find them. In my experience London Chinese takeaway is always utterly disgusting.

― Emma, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Good Chinese takeaways are few and far between in London. But we seem to have fortunately found a not too revolting one. They fry good tofu. Unfortunately, for most of you, it's in Wimbledon. Laughing at us Sarf of the River type folks now, are you? Unfortunately, it still doesn't use those cool little box things.

Oh, wait, I was going to make coffee and you distracted me with thoughts of Chinese takeaway.

― masonic boom, Thursday, 12 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Emma, they're the M&S ones...and are shit. More to the point, they are WRONG because they have a colour scheme. Only acceptable design for the white box is little red bit of Chinoiserie on the side. And must have metal wire handle. Otherwise, some fuckwit in some marketing department somewhere has been madcap and zany with madcap, zany focus groupies from C1C2 households in Hertfordshire who holiday in the Kissimmie/ Orlando area and vote Tory.

Mmmm, DIM SUM. Could eat that all day.

There was a company at GMEX doing the most wonderful ice cream. Whisky and ginger was particularly good; lemongrass also. But the king of them all was the Uncle Joes mint balls flavour. Incredible stuff.

― Matt, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 12:14 (seventeen years ago) link

strawberry cheesecake is a dull B&J flavor and a rare example of them playing catch-up instead of leading the way (as they did with high butter-fat ice cream; with giant chunks of stuff inside it; with chocolate chip cookie dough; with heath bars)

what i can't understand is why nobody makes a red peppermint stick ice cream, which is my favorite flavor. the only way i get to eat it is if somebody actually makes it themselves! (not me cause i don't have a maker, perhaps this should change)

The B&J Coffee + Heath Bar is really dear to me. I'm in favor of more use of those carmelized sugar/dairy tastes in more things -- toffee, butterscotch, all these lovely variations on basic sugar tastes. (Honey too, actually.) Pairing it with coffee isn't just ridiculously tasty, it reminds me of my whole More Toffee agenda -- I feel like when I was young, coffee would have been considered a fairly oddball (or upscale) choice for dessert flavorings, but in the Starbucks era coffee/espresso flavors have been normalized into every sweet thing there is. And butterscotch and toffee have similar burny-war bitter + sweet tastes as lots of sugary coffee drinks. More of them! More! Also liqour tastes!

― nabisco, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Green tea is only bested by sweet potato flavour in the Japanese weirdness stakes.
Anyway, in the boring old west Green & Black's chocolate flavour is well nigh unbeatable.

i would like to talk about jeni's salty caramel ice cream, which is the best ice cream i have ever had in my life.

there is a mostly finished pint of ben & jerry's karamel sutra in my freezer. i don't want to finish it because THEN i would feel like a glutton -- never mind the 3/4 that my bf and i already ate.

I would like to eat some salty caramel gourmet ice cream and then talk about it

Kroger's store-brand (Private Selection) ice creams are mind-blowingly good. They're not paying me to post this.

costco carries a generic vanilla icecream that is so FREAKING good.

also on the fancy end of things, Straus Family Creamery's vanilla is the bomb.

I recommend both of these as someone who doesn't even usually love vanilla icecream much at all, but these two are crazy good

Bought the Breyers chocolate/vanilla split 7".

Honestly it's really good. I don't understand why I ever pay for ultra-premium ice cream because I don't think it's all that much better than this.

Bums me out that half the Breyers flavors are labeled "Frozen Dairy Dessert"

― JoeStork, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:38 (seven years ago) link

Oh is that really still a thing? I thought they stopped doing that. This one was definitely ice cream.

― socka flocka-jones (man alive), Monday, 27 June 2016 18:03 (seven years ago) link

depends on the flavour i believe

i like breyers a lot, winco almost always has them for half the normal store-price
