Haagen Daaz or Ben and Jerrys?

Ice cream? Fine for children.

Try champagne sherbet if you want a ice treat. (When I have a lady over, I call it 'sorbet au champagne.' The things I will do to score high class pussy never cease to amaze me.)

You are most fine, Smoove B.

Good chocolate/peanut butter ice cream really does it for me.

God yes. Yes. Yes.

The only enhancements I like in my ice cream are peanut butter or Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Haagen Daz Deep Chocolate Peanut Butter was my addiction. It went away. I grieved. Eventually it resurfaced, minus the Deep. It's a failed attempt to swirl the two flavors together, which is what makes it so special: the peanut butter occupies the center of the pint. The chocolate surrounds it. You can alternate bites of chocolate with bites of peanut butter, or mingle them. I like it straight from the freezer, so hard that it has to be broken apart with a fork.



Nature's Most Perfect Food is not the egg, no matter what their marketing board says. It's Hershey's Chocolate Syrup poured into the bottom of a highball glass, covered with several inches of Vanilla Haagen Daz, and topped with a generous layer of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup.

One of the frustrations of childhood was that adults never put enough syrup on ice cream to last until the bottom of the bowl. The right to waste Hershey's Syrup is second only to sex as a primary benefit of adulthood.

The appeal of peanut butter/chocolate anything eludes me most of the time. Oh, I'll occasionally have a yen for a Butterfinger or PB M&Ms, but I find that chocolate does not do anything for peanuts one way or the other, whereas peanuts cheapen the taste of the chocolate.

Last night, my daughter treated us to dinner at a local teppanyaki restaurant and I had green tea ice cream for the first time. This is a subtle, interesting taste--you don't want a big ol' bowlful of it and you don't want to put it in a cone.

If I'm in a foreign country, I'll want to check out their food. Shereads, your story of the German ice cream was so poignant--I'm sorry, I'm sure you must love your mother very much, but if she were in a story she would not be a sympathetic character. Anyway, IME when you settle down into any foreign locale you're probably going to get as sick as a dog within a couple of months; what you do is yield to it, go on the local equivalent of the BRAT regimen, and after that your system has adjusted to the strange microbes and you can eat what you please with impunity.

My FIL was in India when he was in the Army and he never got to eat a bite of Indian food. It's often thus, when the military is in a foreign country--they don't avail themselves of a bit of the local cuisine or foodstuffs. It is impossible to calculate how much good will this probably costs us.

I know it's not on the list and most likely doesn't really count as ice cream, but I had lemon gelato at a Gelateria in Italy and am fairly certain it's the second best thing to ever pass these lips.

There's also cookie dough and peppermint candy cane...

Ben & Jerry's has the cheddar fish cracker ice cream...

Although, my concern has always been their Chunky Monkey....

C'mon, smooth creamy banana and chocolate chunks, hangin' from a tree. your baby on your arm! Mmmmm!

I knew a guy who worked for B&J's. His job: to invent recipes for flavors. Got to spend six months in Brazil figuring out what to do with the hazelnut!!

 

[Vincent E]

Between the two choices I choose Haagen Daaz because it is a good American compamny - seriously.

I was put off of Ben and Jerry's years ago as I was turned off by their exploitative and manipulative treatment of the ice cream buying public by advertising that they give some of their profits to "world peace." Well, I pay income taxes. And my income taxes go to the United States Marine Corps. And the USMC has done more to promote world peace than all the fucking ice cream those two Vermont douches have ever frozen.

Wow, am I glad I got that off my chest.

I prefer Turkey Hill's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Hood's Patchwork, and HD's Dulce de Luce. I like to smear it all over a woman's body and lick it off slowly as it melts on her hot flesh.

Can't get that in a Friendly's. Kind of makes you wonder what makes them so friendly.

Mmmm Heavenly

Hmm...no, I still get the 'ew' when I think about it.

Peanut butter is that dry-ish goo that gets stuck at the roof of your mouth, right? Kinda tasty in it's own right, but how the hell does it mix with icecream? Spare ribs can be delicious too, but I would never dream of putting it in a sweet dessert.

Well well, I'm not going to derprive you of your twisted pleasures though. Each to their own.

I was in Quebec City last May and I took the group of girls I was with to a Gelato store. They were sceptical at first but once I took them in and told them its like soft Ice cream they were all for it.

You could get a bowl of gelato or you could get 5 small scoops of different flavours, so we all got 5 flavours without duplicates and I asked if I could have a handfull of spoons, they were just kids working there so they didnt care.

We went out and sat under a huge statue, which I now forget who it was of, and we had a taste testing. They told me after it was one of the best things they did on the trip!

My favourite was the macadamia/ coconut, and the sour lemon!

Hmmm yummy! C

ps I work in a soft serve store- IT IS NOT ICE CREAM!!- Yuck!

[SensualCealy]

You can be my lime gelato anytime, sitting patiently on the spoon, then slipping slowly along my warm tongue, holding it there until it melts, savouring the sour tangy flavour- hmmmm sound like fun Lime?

[scheherazade_79]

Haagen Daaz Strawberry Cheesecake flavour every time. Would love to lick it off my girlfriend every night of the week, but apparently the crunchy bits chafe after a while. What a shame. Do you think a high-power blender would smooth it out a bit?

 

[scheherazade_79]

Do Ben and Jerrys do a Strawberry Cheesecake flavour?

 

[scheherazade_79]

I tried their chocolate one, but it left nasty stains on the sheets. At least I hope it was the ice cream.

Ditto. *shudderrrrrrrrrr*

Where I live, we have a local Italian family that make and market their ice cream........*swoon*.........Strawberry with real strawberries in it......and also at one of the local tourist viewpoints along the coast, a local farm that makes their own ice cream and sells it from a van on the top of the cliff. Heaven in a pot.

Sia Icecream, GB Icecream...

Chocolate icecream... Texas Pecan... PISTACCHIO!!!! *drools*

 

[Svenskaflicka]

When Hubby and I were in Italy, we lived on pasta and icecream. We must have tried atleast 3 new sorts every night.

Same thing in France. We went to the icecream parlor every night!



Yes, it was close to the hotel...

 

[SlickTony]

I would be as big as the side of a house if I did that.

OTOH, my husband would not be. Ice cream is a staple in our house--if I were to stop buying it he would simply go out and buy it on his own initiative.
