Ok, this is important...

[BottomFeeder]

We've wrestled over peanut butter, haggled over coffee, argued over root beer...now for the really important food of life - ice cream!

This one's tough! You think discussions about turn tables and IC's are heated? Hah! Try this one!

What's your favorite ice cream?

Me? I've gone from 31 Flavors Chocolate Mousse Royale to Ben & Jerry's New York Superfudge Chunk to B & J's Oatmeal Cookie, but now that that one's been discontinued (the rats!) I'm lost!

What's yours?

[hearingimpared]

Every single ice cream know to man is my favorite!!! As long as it is smothered with Hershey's (Sorry Ron) chocolate syrup and Mrs. Richard's Butterscotch. . . I am so addicted to ice cream and I can't get enoung of the butterscotch.

Chocolate Peanut butter blows everything else away. In fact, there isn't even a challenge from the other contenders.

[Bubba -NJ]

Haagen-daz Baileys Irish Cream and Creme Brulee are 2 of my favorites . Edy's had a Black Rasberry Avalanche with chocolate chips and a Rasberry swirl in vanilla ice cream , not sure if that's the exact title or not though . Oh yeah , I'm a Vanilla Guy , take the vanilla out of chocolate and it's not nearly as good .

[tonyb]

Too many flavors these days to call one a favorite.
When I am in the mood for soft serve...Dairy Queen
Cold stone creamery or our local Oberwise dairy round it out.

[George Grand]

Lactose intolerant here. None of that stuff for moi.

[pearsall001]

No particular one flavor here. I always go for a hot fudge sunday w/ extra fudge. I don't care if the ice cream parlor has 100 flavors, I'll belly up to my all time favorite & walk away smiling!!! Give me my fudge!!!!

[jflail2]

Vanilla soft serve cone with a cabury's flake jammed in either side. Got spoiled living in England......

Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch.

Leaving a trail of gaseous destruction in his wake. Tough luck George.
Pralines and Cream for me. Bryers of course.

[BaggedLancer]

Richardson's Coffee Heath ice cream is by the far the best ice cream hands down. It is made locally here in the next town over from me, you can even walk through their facility at any time and meet the cows, etc. Pretty cool place.

rofl... nice sentence structure :)

[bobman1235]

Favorite Ice Cream? Thta's like picking your favorite child. Though I will concur with Richardson's being fanTASTic. I'm usually either a mint chocolate chip or a peanut butter cup type of guy.

leave me alone that was 30 seconds after i woke up

[SCompRacer]

Joe, you ever get out here we can go to Oberweis and pig out. It is a local to us dairy. Milk in glass bottles, though the quality starts way before the container. Their 2% is thicker than some brands regular milk. Excellent ice cream too.

[Pablo]

With the exception of chocolate chips, I don't like chunks of anything in my ice cream. I ussually go for vanilla with chocolate sauce and wipped cream. If I have enough supplies I might stick a couple of thin mints or oreos and maybe a few m&ms.

[shadowofnight]

Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream quality hands down...nothing I have tried from cheaper to nose in the air higher is anywhere as good. Their coffee ice cream is my favorite when I dont want really sweet...when the sweet tooth is hounding the cake batter or the cookie dough are both equally awesome.

OK, as for ice cream brands, Ben and Jerry's has everyone beat hands down. Especially if you go to Vermont and have it at one of the scoop shops! Yeah, that's awesome sauce! I don't care what kinda refrigerated rock you got or how many foolish people you have dressed up in some silly costumes behind the counter, Ben and Jerry's just has the quality and variety down pat! My favorite Ben and Jerry's? I think it's a toss up between the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the Country Peach Cobbler!


As for ice cream being served, there is this bar here in NJ called Clancy's. They have a Cheesecake Banana Split. It' starts out as a slice of cheesecake, they slice a banana in half and place it on either side and cover it in vanilla ice cream, caramel, walnuts, whipped cream and cherries! It's awesome!

[strider]

Another vote for Coldstone Creamery. I've been treated too well by them, my wife's cousins own one. Their gift to us for our wedding this summer was an ice cream bar at the reception. They did the whole set up, right down to the marble stone chilled with dry ice. It was, by far, the thing that people commented the most about.

[bobman1235]

I've been to Coldstone a few times, and they're good, but something about them... their ice cream sits heavier than any I've ever had. It's like sitting down to a meal.

[RuSsMaN]

What happened to Toasted Almond George?

Mine? A heaping a scoop of French Vanilla over a slice of hot, homemade Apple Pie.

There is NO contest.

Soy ice cream isn't bad. They have a couple of different flavors at my super stop and shop.

[schwarcw]

I enjoy ice cream from "The Creamery" up at Penn State. They have bred special cows up there to get higher milk fat content. They also only feed them sweet food so the milk is "engineered" to make ice cream.

BTW, Ben and Jerry learned how to make ice cream at Penn State.

[cfrizz]

I started out liking vanilla, switched during my teens to chocolate & that's what I still like.

I'm more interested in that than I am the rig!!!:eek::D I'm an ice cream addict and it shows.

[Music Joe]

Ice cream should be a nationally recognized major food group.

[JimBRICK]

anyone try that jalapeno icecream?

[SCompRacer]

,,,AND THEIR CHOCOLATE MILK IS LIKE A SHAKE........

:eek:How could I leave that out! The wife brought home a tasty Eggnog from them the other day.

I'm more interested in that than I am the rig!!!:eek::D I'm an ice cream addict and it shows.

No worries bud. We can put you in the cozy room with the Polk in and out of walls. That also gets you the remote controlled fireplace and the wet bar, but you gotta supply your own cocktail waitress.:D

Moosetracks ice cream made by Denali

Vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and famous Moose Tracks® fudge
Mmmmm!

[brettw22]

When I'm back in Dallas, a few containers of Blue Bell's Moolenium Crunch is a must........granted it's been several years since I've been back, but i know it has little peanut butter cups in it, among other delicious little treats.......

Also, BlueBell's White Chocolate Almond is great...........

Basstes...GADZOOKS!!!!

While Preston and Steve totally rock, I did not find Gadzooks all that incredible. The fact that part of the proceeds go to local charities is awesome but I wasn't enamored with it.

[BottomFeeder]

I think there should be a National Ice Cream Day holiday. The kids are off from school, all the businesses close (except the ones that sell ice cream of course), the government shuts it's doors...& everyone goes home & sucks down ice cream! Maybe you watch some movies, hang out w/good friends. It's a throw back to yesteryear and better times.

& It all began right here on the good 'ol Polk Forum!

[zombie boy 2000]

Follow me....
I am very much a man of excess. Chunk it. Spin it. Swirl it.
But at the end of the day, I give my nod to Bryer's Natural Vanilla Bean.

Doesn't fit the bill. But it comes strong or doesn't come at all.
Go figure.
