Better Non-Premium Chocolate Ice Cream -- Breyers or Turkey Hill?

[Perknose]

Based on this link[url]from a previous thread on the subject, wherein Turkey Hill Dutch chocolate placed an amazing (to me) third place, I'm thinking of trying some.

A local grocery has Turkey Hill 1.5 qts on sale for 2/$3.89.

My long time favorite in the non-premium brands, BY FAR, has always been Breyers.

So, OT, what say you for non-premium chocolate? Breyers, [url=http://www.turkeyhill.com/products/all-natural-recipe-flavors.aspx?pID=104]Turkey Hill All Natural Chocolate, or Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate?

The Breyers used to be all natural, but isn't anymore. I still like it. The Turkey Hill all natural is supposed to be just that, but T-Hill Dutch chocolate is the one that scored high in that linked taste test.

You should try the trader joes chocolate premium ice cream. I guess that goes against your rules but I dont find it to be so expensive.

I love premium ice cream though and like a little place in Brentwood called sweet rose creamery.

Oh, I fully intend to, believe me, but only when some other errand takes me by my nearest Trader Joes. :thumbsup:

The thing about the trader joes stuff is they havent whipped air into the ice cream.

One of the greatest marketing moments was when some ceo said "hey lets whip air into the ice cream and call it creamy"

edit

The vanilla is really good too.

Yeah, it's made Breyers something you never want to touch if it ever melts a bit and then re-freezes.

WTF, those are premium brands to me. What the hell do you consider premium?

this is premium

but very very good.

I haven't had non premium ice cream in a long time. I seldom buy it, so I usually stick with Ben and Jerrys. Coffee Heath Bar Crunch is tits.

Anyway, to the point... I seem to remember Turkey Hill getting that nasty gummy funk on the side of the container(carrageenan?). That has always been the hallmark of cheap ice cream. It also seems especially whipped. You get extra air for your money :^P

I haven't had Breyers in ages, so I can't comment.

 

[JSt0rm]

No wonder they do buy one get one free. One is air.

Your answer is in the OP, oh wise one.
2 for 3.89

pfft. i make my own. anyone who buys store bought crap deserves the garbage they eat.

 

[Fayd]

i honestly don't like breyers at all.

i vastly prefer the store brand ice cream to it.

 

[JSt0rm]

pfft. i make my own. anyone who buys store bought crap deserves the garbage they eat.

I want to get into making my own as well. Does that Cuisinart work well? I would end up making some exotic stuff and need a ice cream maker that can handle it.

That looks like softserve anyhow, do you own that or did you just grab the pic?

Wow, yet another topic on which you reveal yourself as impossibly ignorant and likely destined to stay that way.

Breyers regularly goes on sale here at 2/$5. But it has deteriorated in quality over the years. So, when in the other thread I saw Turkey Hill rated so highly, and with this particular sale as the trigger, I thought I'd give it a try.

I was looking for those who've had both and could give me their informed opinion. There was a time when you could rely on OT for that. I forget who was President then, but there was a time . . .

ftfy

btw..

Premium ice cream tends to have low overrun and higher fat content than standard ice cream.
Overrun refers to the increase in product volume created when a given volume of ice cream mix is aerated during processing.

Turkey Hill has some premium flavors... but unless you see PREMIUM on the container.. its not

I'm too fat to be eating ice-cream. It's no surprise I shouldn't know what's premium or not. :|

 

[guyver01]

btw... Blue Bunny is the best Premium Ice Cream

I believe I've had both their chocolate and their vanilla and wasn't all that partial to either. It's certainly been awhile, though. Breyers used to be CLEARLY superior (imho) to the other non-premuims. That has changed somewhat, and may have changed a lot, so it may be time for me to find out.

Baby steps, though.

One's choice in non-premium cartons of industrially produced ice cream product is serious business.
