Haagen Dazs Rocky Road is the fav right now.....yummmmmmmmm

Brahms Rocky Road! Can't get Brahms here but I get it when I go to OK to visit DD.
I always loved Gandy's Rocky Road.The Almonds were toasted and coated with chocolate and were crunchy.I don't even think they make that anymore.At least I can't find it.Can't even find Gandy's brand anywhere.I use to get it at home(TX)at 7-11 but they don't have it anymore.All the RR I have found lately in any brand,the almonds aren't toasted or coated and are soggy.Don't like that.I try to buy sugar free or no sugar added ice cream now since DH and I are both diabetic and the Blue Bunny brand is best.I like the Bunny Tracks one but my favorite is the Praline Pecan.
I agree,homemade is best.I haven't made any in a long time though.I have a new freezer that I bought last summer,still in the box! LOL
Have you ever made homemade with sweetened condensed milk and orange Crush soda? It is soooooo good and easy.Just mix a can of sweetened condensed milk and a 3 litre bottle of crush in the freezer can,stir it up and freeze.I add a can of crushed pineapple to it sometimes.You can also use any other flavor of soda.The orange tastes like a Dreamcicle bar.

Breyers,

Blue Bunny especially at Christmas time if you can find their minty flavor. Actual bits of candy in the ice cream.
Also love Cold Stone Creamery and Humboldt (in CA).

I like a lot of different kinds. Brown's had a maple without nuts that was great but don't see it anymore. I like Blue Bunny's Cookies & Cream. Good ice cream and HUGE chunks of cookie in there and I'm not even a fan of Oreos but I do like that ice cream. I like the vanilla mixed with orange sherbet, sometimes a Neopolitan and I guess it varies with mood. I like most any ice cream. Some are a little better than others, but for the most part there's really no bad ice cream in my taste buds opinion.

They are Blue Bell homemade vanilla and pecan praline. I remember when Blue Bell was not widely distributed. When I was traveling from the central Texas area I would buy a pint at the last store that it was possible to buy it, which was Taylor TX, and be so sad when it was finished

I usually buy Dryers, and my favorite flavor is lemon Custard followed closely by coffee.

Blue Bell Cotton Candy and Blue Bell Century Sundae--yummm. Both are new flavors.

Bluebell Homemade vanilla hands down...

I like Sunnyside, a local store brand, for everyday ice cream.

My favorite ice cream is from two local shops. One has excellent Black Raspberry marble and I can get Mariann's (a Santa Cruz company) in my area at a local crepe shop that has started to carry it. My favorite flavor is spumoni. It's not that horrid brightly colored stuff that people call spumoni but a white spumoni full of fruity goodness with pistachio and a touch of rum or something.

Any 'Turkey Hill' flavor is my favorite. It is pretty much the only brand of ice cream I buy. The 'chocolate chip cookie dough' we had a couple weeks ago was amazing!

I love Blue Bell. It's $4.39 at Wal-Mart. I love the homemade vanilla, the peach, strawberry, banana split, cookie dough--I guess I like it all!!

I only buy Turkey Hill or Friendly's (and only if they're on sale, of course). Have tried Blue Bunny a couple of times and honestly don't see what all the hype is--it's very bland and not that creamy compared to TH or F's. I think, perhaps, ice cream is best if you buy local brands, though--Blue Bunny is shipped quite a distance before it gets to us.

Flavors? Unfortunately, I like too many of them--Butter Crunch, peanutbutter swirl, lemon meringue pie, strawberry cheesecake, sherbets, Grand Slam. Used to enjoy the nut flavors--Butter Pecan, almond, etc, but can't eat nuts these days.

Our family's favorite flavor is Superman ice cream! It's yellow, red, and blue, just like Superman's uniform, and it's got kind of a fruity flavor. I don't think we've ever found it in a store, just in hand-dipped cone places. Yum!

My current favorite is Hood New England Creamery Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Yum!

Turkey Hill and they have a summer flavor of southern lemon pie, but it's hard to find. I did get Greens this week and found a flavor so good , I got another..it's called Snapper and it's full of pralines and caramel.I like Friendlys too.

Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough, hands down!

Lezza brand spumoni is REAL spumoni. The absolute best. You can find it at specialty stores.

Mint chocolate chip and pumpkin.
I can only find pumpkin around Thanksgiving and Christmas time. As long as a decent ice cream I don't care who makes it.

My dad worked for a dairy company that made ice cream when I was growing up and brought home the rejects. We always had a freezer full. You would think I would have been overweight from that. I wasn't then anyway. My dad still has a bowl almost every night.

Blue Bell coffee is my favorite. I've tried other brands of coffee ice cream, none even come close.

Blue Bell Caramel Kettle Crunch! I'm gonna have to try that!

Couldn't find a picture of coffee but yes, Blue Bell is still a full half gallon, bless 'em. We eat all we can and we sell the rest.

Cookie dough

Breyer's vanilla bean

Lappert's vanilla macadamia nut (Hawaii)

I don't have a favorite brand. I love all ice cream, especially if it has nuts or chunks of stuff in it, like Rocky Road. The only exception is the smooth and creamy Dulce de Leche flavored ice cream in Argentina. Oh. My.

Jodi-

There is a "cheap" brand of Ice Cream that we get here for $2 per full half gallon. It is called "Family Pak" and their Vanilla and Chocolate is the creamyest, best tasting I havd ever had the sheer pleasure of having hit my tongue. Sadly, they don't offer lots of flavors..
So, when I want ice cream with lots of "stuff" in it, PURITY AND BLUE BUNNY, FOLLOWED BY BLUE BELL. I don't like any of the Breyers ice creams, too icy and not cream enough for me.

I have never heard of Blue Bell until now, but its not available in California, darn :-( Sure sounds good !
My hubby loves Ice Cream, but I never buy it for myself, I do enjoy a cone from McDonalds once in awhile though and if we had a speciality Ice Cream Place I would probably like it, like 31 flavors. A few months ago they started putting in a Cold Stone shop, got it half built and we got excited about it, and then they just stopped , left and put in a small subway :-(

Another fan here of Blue Bell. Just about any of their flavors are divine! We don't get the Turkey Hill brand here, darn it. I also love Harris-Teeter's Southern Milk Chocolate.

"...... the smooth and creamy Dulce de Leche flavored ice cream in Argentina."

'Dulce de leche' is 'caramel' in our language. You can buy it locally.

-------------------------------------

A couple of people mentioned coffee ice cream. Starbucks makes some great coffee ice cream and has now introduced mud pies and ice cream bars.

Dilly Dally, the dulce de leche ice cream I've tried in the states doesn't hold a candle to the stuff I ate in Buenos Aires, though I probably gained less weight on the U.S. stuff. :-)

I only buy Breyers All Natural.
Or make it at home.

I love chocolate if I have a choice.

I'm a label reader.

Jodi, do you have a hispanic grocer in your area? I can get the imported dulce de leche available at my local grocer although I do not buy it because I don't eat sugar. You can order online too.

Of course they say the best is always what you make yourself and here is a recipe from Alton Brown:

Alden's organic, all natural ice cream.
The best packaged ice cream I have ever eaten...so close to old fashioned home made - especially the Vanilla.

Stewart's "Crumbs along the Mohawk". YUMMMMMY Graham cracker flavored ice cream with chunks of Graham cracker and swirls of carmel. Love it in the summer time, not a big ice cream eater in cold weather.
Stewart's is a convenience store around here.

Thanks for the tip Monica. I found it sold in my area from their website.

My favorite is definitely Breyers chocolate, but Moose Tracks with the little reese's cups in it is soooo good. They sell it at Walmart for like 3 bucks. I also like chocolate gelato. If you go to Wilmington NC and go to the Coastal Roaster in Beau Rivage Marketplace they have the bast gelato and sorbet you have ever tasted.
