IMHO it is Graeter’s. We lived in Cincinnati in the '70s. I think they only sold it from 3-4 stores there then. But if you live where there is a store owned by Kroger (King Soopers here in CO), you may be able to find it there now.
Folks, this stuff is seriously wonderful. Especially the flavors that include their home made chocolate chunks. My favorite is chocolate mint on the bottom and chocolate mocha on the top.
I have no connection with this company other than as customer. I just devoured a bowl of the above mint/mocha mix and feel compelled to let you all in on this incredible opportunity to savor the world’s best ice cream.
It is fattening. It probably is not good for your health. It is delicious! And who wants to die really old and skinny??
The ice cream sold at the Pennsylvania State University Creamery is pretty good stuff too. There’ve been television programs showing how they make ice cream there, and they’ve trained people from all over the world how to make good ice cream.
I used to love their Rum Raisin, but I don’t know if they still have it. The Peachy Paterno flavor is also popular, expecially during football season when the team is winning!
Dudley is obviously an expert, that’s a White Mountain hand crank ice cream freezer, I have one hanging in my basement too long unused. My wife has a recipe for vanilla that has a quart of XX cream in a gallon of ice cream (low carb high fat formula).
Koops in the Milwaukee area really makes a great ice cream. They call it frozen custard but whatever it is it’s great. Breyer’s at the grocery is pretty good too.
Yes it is a White Mountain !
The best out of 4 that we use
The last few years we’ve been slacking and only been freezing one flavor per night. Other years it’s been a regular ice cream bar :rolleyes:
Maggie Moos for those that don’t know is a ‘fancy’ place to get ice cream treats made in front of you on a cold platter. It’s more show than substance.
The stuff is so sickly sweet it is simply awful.
I, like DG must vote for Tillamook. It is made in a small Costal town in Oregon.
Unlike DG, my favorite is Butter pecan but have been known to enjoy almost any flavor. Most stores here in WA have it for sale.
Back eons ago when my children were very little, in the Winter we used to do a lot of ice fishing back in WI where we lived. I did not use a power auguer but used a 6’ spud bar to cut the holes. We always filled gunny sacks with the chipped ice to use for “making our own IC after arriving home”. Our maker was hand operated so the smallest young un started cranking. As it became more difficult the next in size young un took over. By the time is was nearing completion ole Dad got the honors. I think there is nothing colder or better than home made IC.
their used to be an icecream maker in rhode island who made an Expresso ice cream with choclote covered expresso beans in it. I used to buy it by the 5 gal container. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The only thing that comes close to it is ben and jerries coffee coffee buzzzz buzzzz buzzzz.
Maybe not the best since i’ve had homemade a number of times but a drugstore in Sharon MA had marble fudge that i can remember over just about any other ice cream i’ve ever had. I don’t know the brand name and i’m sure i can’t get it out west anywhere, but i do occasionaly suffer through a bowl of Umpqua Dairy ice cream…anything with chocolate is fine.
That makes me want to dig out my little ice cream freezer. Makes a quart in a container which you put in your freezer ahead of time, a couple of days, it has some recipes, none bad. All start with heavy cream - at least the ones I remember. I’ll find it, there was one made with banana and chopped mixed salted nuts that was a real winner. I think I’m hungry.:rolleyes:
You people really are cruel and like to torture us diabetics. Well we all have to die from something right? He died eating a cone of Hughes Penn-Gold Ice Cream Co. from Harrisville, Pa.
