Best Ice Cream on Earth

[Uncle Ted]

Ha. I was just talking with a guy the other day who went to law school in Ohio, and he was raving about Graeter's Ice Cream. He is originally from Texas, so I asked him how it compared to Blue Bell. He said Blue Bell is good but Graeters is definitely better.

I stopped reading at "law school in Ohio".

Since I last posted here I destroyed a tub of Blue Bell Banana Split. . I can't buy the stuff or it always ends terribly.

That's why I don't like to buy ice cream. I can resist food, but I'm fat because I have ZERO self control around sweets. None. Zilch. Nada.

Meh. Not a fan of Graeters as much as some people. It's OK..

Humphry Slocombe ice cream is some of the best I've had.

Blue Bell to be sold in Las Vegas. DH and Falafel take note.

So far I've had Blue Bell's Homemade Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate, and Pistachio Almond. The vanilla and the pistachio are both ridiculously good. The chocolate is not any better than the Kroger Deluxe brands we commonly buy.

Yeah, I had high hopes for its Rocky Road, but it was just alright. Try the pecan pralines and cream. In my younger years I could hammer a half gallon in one sitting.

Did you, in fact, do this? Years ago, my mother challenged me to an ice cream gorgefest and I won by downing a half gallon of chocolate marble. But that was the only time. On the other hand, the idea that a pint of Ben & Jerry's contains four servings per the nutrition label is laughable. It takes a herculean level of self-restraint to limit myself to two servings.

Technically, it wasn't one sitting. It was the result of several return trips to the freezer in a two or three hour period.

A pint of ice cream for me is also known as dessert. no reason to not finish off the entire thing in one sitting.

I don't know how you and PAC pulled that off, but that is awesome. I like ice cream but anything more than 2-3 scoops makes me sick.

You intolerant people make me sick.

Don't worry, I make up for it by having third helpings of the regular meal.

I've come to enjoy Talenti. http://www.talentigelato.com

[Omaha 680]

Talenti is good. I like ice cream almost as much as I like pizza. I'm like a 5 year old.

Store bought I'm a sucker for Haagen Dazs: Sticky Toffee Pudding or Classic Stawberry. Both are fantastic.

For shops around these parts, Van Leeuwen's might be the best ice cream I've ever tasted. Brooklyn Ice Cream factory is also very good and I think the Mister Softee trucks have the best soft serve. Big Gay Ice Cream Shop has some impressive artistic creations but the ice cream isn't as good as the lines would suggest.
