Favorite Ice Cream....

[Roy Wall]

Mine's a local KC mix from the "belfonte family"---Chocolate / Peanut Butter
My wife loves Haag n Daz - Triple Chocolate & Dutch Chocolate Chocolate

I could have a milk shake of those every day............

My all-time favorite is Blue Bunny Colorado River Rapids, followed by Blue Bunny Peppermint...both 'seasonal' or 'feature' flavors that aren't available all the time. If I have one of those in the house, I'll eat it every day. I've not tried Haag n Daz, but I think Blue Bunny is far and away better than Blue Bell, Dreyer's and Breyer's. In fact, I think the Sam's Choice at WalMart is better than the 'big three' I mentioned.

I want my ice cream 'full fat', but the Bllue Bunny 'no sugar added' and their other lowfat and yogurt varieties are edible, too.

I think if I could only eay one flavor for the rest of my life, it would have to be Ben&Jerry's Wavy Gravy

Hagen Das Coffee....smooth, rich, perfect.

Finally a subject I can respond to with confidence!

For local choices there is only one. Graeter's Chocolate chip or Cheesecake is by far the best. Their chocolate chips are amazing, they actually pour liquid chocolate into the cream as it is freezing so the "chips" are totally random in the way that they harden and disperse, it can make for some large chunks. The company was started in Cincinatti a long time back and has made it up here over the years, aren't we lucky...

As for national brands; Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey is a winner but the best flavor that I have found in a freezer case is found at Trader Joe's, the brand is called "Double Rainbow." my preference is actually Vanilla, not terribly exciting until you take your first bite. Once you begin to feel the creamy texture and taste the complexity of this "vanilla" it makes all others seem like something that shouldn't even be called ice cream. If plain vanilla isn't your speed it can always be dressed up with some crushed Trader Joes Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (this is a particular favorite that I have enjoyed more than once this week).

Then we get into the custard side of frozen treats. There are 3 different Ritters Frozen Custard locations here in town and I have spent too much time at each one of them. Custard is different from ice cream because it uses a small amount of eggs in the receipe, this gives it a VERY smooth and rich flavor. My personal favorite is once again the chocolate chip but I have been known to enjoy a number of different varities.

I'm with you Kirk, full fat, full calorie is the only way to go.

Got to go with a good pistacio nut for my first choice...
On the occassions I used to go to VT to visit my sister in the fall we would visit the Ben & Jerry's Factory and have their Apple Pie Ice Cream, it is only made when the apples are being picked.. a seasonal ice cream.. absolutely heaven...

For me, that's the difference between Blue Bunny and the other three I named...it's just smoother. And it doesn't get full of ice crystals in the freezer on the rare occasions it's in there a week or so.

I have to go stop at WalMart on my way home...I think I'm gonna get some Ben & Jerry's AND Haag n Daz and check 'em out. I'll put the diet on hold this afternoon.

Either Moose tracks by Shoeps or Ben and Jerry's cookie dough...

[Donnie Raines]

I love Cookies N' Cream...with real Oreo cookies....

[Scott Coffelt]

I like so many, but in the end I think a nice vanilla is good. I really like softserve from DQ. :}

Of course there's always B&J's Kitchen Sink, Cookie Dough, .....

Ahh so many choices and such a little bowl.
The "Orange Pushup" from the guy pushing the cart with bells a ringing.
Maybe not my favorite flavor but surely a fun time...so long ago.
