Your favorite Ice Cream flavor and something strange
Comments (38)My family and I were in Parma, Italy (one of the gastronomic capitals of the world, and believe me, we went to town!) last summer, and I had violet gelato. That's right, violet. Oh. My. Frickin'. God. It was like eating essence of flowers. I can still taste it! That being said, my favorite flavor may be Italian hazelnut (nocciola), and to all who say there's no difference between store-brand and higher end, them's fightin' words. In summer, my favorite's peach. Lest you now think I'm a total food snob (OK, I actually AM a total food snob, but I go lowbrow too: cheez doodles, street hot dogs, etc.), the something strange is, during college I used to stash my leftover pizza in the box, on the floor underneath my bed. That cold linoleum kept it chilled, nobody with the late nite munchies could steal it, and it was right there for breakfast in the morning! Extra bonus strange: my Dad, whose interest in experimental cooking predated fusion cuisine and all that, used to put grapefruit peel in the marinara sauce. No, it did not taste good.

Comments (52)salgal- I have to agree with you about Lapp Valley Farm in Pa. When we live in CT we went to Lancaster County twice a year to visit the Amish. We found that farm when we were riding around. The ice cream could not be beat. The older Amish man told us he could wrap the ice cream for us so we could bring it back to CT & it would not thaw & he was right. Hubby has a sweet tooth so we always came back with at least 8-10 gallons....See MoreWhat kind of "stuff" do you like in ice cream?
Comments (31)We didn't have formal desserts when I was a kid other than fruit. My father sometimes had a cookie. There was always ice cream in the house however, which usually came out mid-afternoon. My father loved ice cream. :) So do I. I usually don't keep it around. If it isn't, I'll eat a veggie popsicle. :) Because I'll easily eat too much ice cream if given the opportunity. So here's my picky list: I used to be a lumps hater, but when we were kids, my father gave us cones and lumps don't lick well. I still don't like hard lumps. Not those big frozen hard chocolate pieces. Not frozen hard nuts. Not icy rock hard strawberry ice cubes. As an adult, eating out of a custard dish or similar, I do like some kinds of lumps if they're slightly different than the ice cream in texture, but not rock hard, remaining long after the ice cream has melted in one's mouth. Like non-ice-cubey berries or bits of fleshy fruit, like peaches. Chocolate flake-chips rather than lumps. Nuts that have softened a little in the custard. Even some crunchy mix-ins. But I don't have to have any of these. I've always liked a ribbon of syrup or fudge swirled in the ice cream if it's not oversweet. Most of the time caramel is too sweet. A little goes a long way. OTOH, I'm not big on sundaes. Too goopy. I don't like drippy soft ice cream. I want it cold! I like berries or fruit with plain frozen yoghurt, where the sweetness is welcome, but if I'm turning to syrups it means the ice cream must be pretty darned bland. Exception: If you need to put on weight fast, there's fudge ripple ice cream with Kahlua. :) Straight out of the bottle, not syrup. It makes the ice cream melt faster but it's really delicious. And I do like different flavors together. Always have, harkening back to the two scoops treat at the drugstore when I was a kid....See MoreFavorite ice cream?
Comments (51)Tillamook is a new offering in my local chain grocers. There have been promotions at half price -- and BOGO's. I think Ben & Jerry's is higher quality at about $4 a pint. Tillamook is $7 for 1.5 gallons. Ice cream gurus say to dish up ice cream and let it sit a few minutes so that your tongue can appreciate the flavors.. Try that with Tillamook, and you'll get a watery 'soup'. The B & J will turn to cream. Tillamook has done several things here. It is easy to scoop, and you can taste the flavors right away. Instant gratification! The bigger cartons make it look like a bargain. (It is better than the even more heavily aerated, huge carton store brands that weigh almost nothing.)...See More- 23 days ago
