Vanilla ice cream is boring and stale.

Chocolate forever.

 

[Archer]

love the fat suit

 

[Auron_Kale]

This stuff is amazing...

 

[Vilam]

Gelato taking over.

I don't get the gelato obsession. It's just sloppy ice cream. And yeah, I've had it in Italy.

 

[Kayhan]

$4 gelato?

LOL hipster suckers

 

[Ace Harding]

Best ice cream ever.

Hands down. This is my perfect ice cream - pretzels, fudge, and peanut butter. Nothing tops it. I have been guilty of consuming a pint in a single sitting. "Well maybe I'll just dig out one more pretzel piece..."

 

[Kayhan]

That is gross.

Not that peanut butter and pretzels aren't decent snacks on their own but they have no business in this world, or the next, being in ice cream.

And fudge is always nasty gunk.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I'll just stick with Late Night Snack from Ben & Jerry's, all that shit in the OP sounds disgusting.

 

[silentspork]

This stuff is amazing...

Yea man. Prefer the blueberry though.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I don't get the gelato obsession. It's just sloppy ice cream. And yeah, I've had it in Italy.

It's so much better, though?

The first time I had real gelato (in Ann Arbor, MI at a small shop), it was a REVELATION. I couldn't believe how much better it was that regular ice cream. I haven't had any that good since. If I were still in Ann Arbor, that place would be a weekly destination.

That said, I would just like to say that frozen yougrt stuff is shit and I wish it would die in a fire.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

Yeah, this looks nothing like sushi.

Now, the candy sushi that I made this weekend...

Aw yeah!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Ice cream thread?

Mochi or bust

what is this?

 

[Milchjon]

Read "crazy steak". Left disappointed.

 

[madp]

this is my new fav ice cream sandwich.

There's an ice cream chain in my area called United Dairy Farmers that'll sandwich a giant dip of any flavor of ice cream that you want between two giant Oreo cookies for around $2. I love to get these with raspberry ice cream, it's amazing.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

what is this?

Mochi ice cream, and it is awesome.

 

[Replicant]

Who the hell orders flavors like Vanilla or Chocolate or Strawberry when you've got insanely better tasting options right around it?

Cookie Dough?
Cookies and Cream?
Peanut Butter?
Coffee?
Chocolate Chip Mint?

You and I have similar tastebud. Except for that last item on your list. Hate it. It feels like you're eating chocolate while brushing teeth. XP

Ice cream thread?

Mochi or bust

These are awesome too. Green tea, sticky rice, and sesame yum.

Best ice cream ever. Green tea and peach flavors are close behind, though.

We don't have that taste in Australia. Why do you hate Australia so much Ben & Jerry? :/

 

[CSX]

Green tea ice cream all over my face. Doesnt even to be in mochi form.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Found some ice cream in my freezer and realized I forgot to add butter brickle to the list of awesome ice cream flavors.

 

[geeko]

what is this?

Not sure what the outside is made of but its ice cream in the center and a some sort of dough around it. They are AWESOME.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

i'm gonna bust out some real wacky flavors from my ice cream maker this year

starting with vomit

 

[Dead Prince]

It's okay. i bought an ice cream maker during the Mother Day's Special for $69 (retails for $180 or something) and it was a great deal. i want to make some fancy shit.

 

[Lax Mike]

Best ice cream ever. Green tea and peach flavors are close behind, though.

Awesome. For me, followed closely by Phish Food and Half Baked.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

last summer the best 'weird' flavors i made were:

rosewater w/ cardamom and pistachio bits
brown sugar w/ cayenne pepper walnuts
brown sugar w/ ginger

i would make a durian one if it wasn't gonna stink up the whole building

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Just give me Cookies & Cream and be over with it.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

i'm just gonna start making them out of whatever wacky fruit happens to be on sale each week on the carts in chinatown

 

[Alrus]

Gelato is super expensive around here. You can get 2-3 times the amount of ice cream for the same price.

I'm so confused >.> For me Gelato is Ice Cream.

 

[kudos.]

I don't get the gelato obsession. It's just sloppy ice cream. And yeah, I've had it in Italy.

Yeah, but have you had it in Italy?

 

[Amakusa]

All I need

 

[Bearded Dudebro]

The outside is the Mochi. Hence the Mochi Ice Cream

Not sure what the outside is made of but its ice cream in the center and a some sort of dough around it. They are AWESOME.

 

[Poyunch]

Not sure what the outside is made of but its ice cream in the center and a some sort of dough around it. They are AWESOME.

Mochi is rice cake.

 

[Zoe]

I'm so confused >.> For me Gelato is Ice Cream.

Gelato has less butterfat than ice cream.

 

[TheSeks]

Watermelon Chip actually sounds interesting, but I haven't ate Ice Cream in years.

 

[RangersFan]

Best ice cream ever. Green tea and peach flavors are close behind, though.

just ate that for first time it is definitely top 3 ben and jerry's flavor for me now for sure. along with half baked and americone dreamz. so good.

 

[Like the hat?]

Real vanilla icecream is great. Vanilla has such an amazing, beautiful flavor.

 

[Adam J.]

Damn this thread--so tempted to go to the store for a frosty treat right now. Stupid diet. Why can't I eat ice cream and not be fat?

Get some frozen fruits and blend in. got yourself a frozen treat there.

 

[MThanded]

Get some frozen fruits and blend in. got yourself a frozen treat there.

Add some protein powder.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

All I need

It's certainly tasty...but I still feel ripped off, because last May's rotational cake flavor was the best ice cream ever made:

I've been waiting all year to see if Groom's Cake would return. Only to find this Red Velvet Cake nonsense replacing it.

Another classic Blue Bell May rotational flavor, Peaches & Homemade Vanilla (Gold Rim) is AWESOME though.

Never tried this one, but it sounds good:

Dessert Trio - Brown Rim
A triple treat of your most favorite desserts combined with our ice cream. Smooth vanilla ice cream loaded with chocolate chip cookie pieces, luscious pecan brownies, and chocolate-coated cake pieces all surrounded by a swirl of rich, chocolate sauce.

 

[Big Chungus]

Damn this thread--so tempted to go to the store for a frosty treat right now. Stupid diet. Why can't I eat ice cream and not be fat?

Blend frozen fruits + lemon juice and you've got a sorbet.

 

[chaostrophy]

Sushi cupcakes. Not real sushi, but darned if this new Marble Slab item doesn't look like the real thing.

Uhh...last I checked the pieces of fish in sushi are not cut to the shape of a fish.

 

[Death Dealer]

I love all the classic ice cream flavors. Mint chocolate chip, coffee, any fruit flavor (Alden's Blackberry is incredible), black walnut, pistachio, pralines and cream, rocky road, tutti frutti, even vanilla.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hilariously enough ice cream doesn't really cool down the person, and could even make one warm up faster.

 

[Death Dealer]

i would make a durian one if it wasn't gonna stink up the whole building

I had durian ice cream last year at a Thai restaurant. It was my introduction to the fruit. It tasted like onion flavored ice cream, with some undertones. It wasn't nearly as bad as people say it is, but I wouldn't care to eat it again.I'll stick with coconut from now on.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Real vanilla icecream is great. Vanilla has such an amazing, beautiful flavor.

It's getting harder to find actual real vanilla being used in store-bought products.

3. Vanilla flavored products

Did you know real vanilla is second only to saffron among the world’s most expensive spices? So it comes as no surprise that many products which claim this flavoring actually use a vanillin that is synthetically created, possibly using coal-tar derivatives.

The frosting label you see at least notes that it’s artificial. But even fake vanilla can still be labeled as “natural flavors” or “naturally flavored.”

Why? Well between 2002 and 2005 there was a vanilla shortage and in turn, many manufacturers who were previously using the real deal had no choice but to use the fake stuff. Yet they never changed their labeling. The FDA remained mum on this, and the industry basically interpreted that as a green light to continue doing it.

So nowadays, even with a label saying “natural” you still might be getting that yummy coal-tar derivative.

 

[MidnightScott]

Why don't they get real crazy and bring back Vienetta to the U.S.?!

Still mad I never got to try this before it went away.

ZOMG, I thought I was the only one who knew of this. We use to always eat it at Christmas, bring it back dammit!

That DQ Blizzard looks good though, but I always get a different one every time anyway.

I want the brrrger and I have no idea why.

Cookie Dough?

...there are so many better flavors than basic V/C/S it's madness to hear that they outsell the good shit. MADNESS!
