This might be the best ice cream sandwich

[Ns1]

$1 when I was an undergrad in 2000

don't think $1 is even enough for the meter these days.

Meh, I don't do ice cream. A nice malt and a hamburger.

Can you really fuck up an ice cream sammich?

Dude, absolutely. Crappy, soggy cookie, or one that is too crunchy. Grainy, icy "frozen desert" filling. A truly good ice cream sandwich has a thick, rich, creamy texture, with just the right amount of bite to the chocolate cookie, and... this is important... the cookie does not stick to your fingertips. If the cookie sticks to your fingers you are consuming a subpar ice cream sandwich.

Pretty sure Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches are the best.

I worked in a factory with a ice vending machine including ice cream sandwiches, Carnation or some generic brand, but every Friday our group would go a Mexican dive and eat fiery hot food and follow it up with ice cream back at the plant. Tasty and soothing the next day.

fuck yo shitty ice cream sandwiches

rosewater pistachio mashti (basically wafers on top/bottom)

I find rosewater overpowering. Love pistachio though.


There is a place in Vancouver which makes their own ice cream sandwiches and they have some which use macarons as the cookie parts. Amazing!

there is a small ice cream shop in Naples Italy near the center of the old district that makes a special kind of bread that has some annis and some other amazingly tasty shit it and they put two scoops into an actual sandwich not the imitation stuff above.


Totally the best ice cream sandwich on the planet. I have asked my sister to go there next time she is downtown to take pictures for me !


SOOOOOO GOOOOOD

This, all of this. Yes, you definitely can, and they're wonderful.

Besides, you have to believe this guy, look at his name. Master Shake never lies.

too busy.

nothing beats just a plain ole vanilla ice cream sammich.

I am not a fan of frozen nuts in my ice cream. its like biting into a rock and thats not good eats.

This. I don't mind some mix-in goodies in ice cream, but for an ice cream sandwich you want chocolate cookie, and vanilla ice cream. No further intellectual effort is required.

 

[Dirigible]

the shitty 50 cent ice cream sandwiches of our youth - in hindsight they were/are fucking terrible.

I didn't think I was old. But I used to pay ten cents for an ice cream sandwich as a kid.

I guess I am old.

I just bought some of the Klondike ones last month and was not impressed. The ice cream itself is kinda cheap tasting.

Lately I've just been buying the Haagen-Dazs and Magnum ice cream bars.

Are there "premium" ice cream sandwiches out there that you can get at the local grocery store?

Why not an ice cream cone?

The problem with all ice cream sandwiches, imho, is that the actual ice cream in them sucks. They seemingly HAVE to adulterate it beyond the bounds of all that is holy to get it stay "conformed" in their concoctions.

The vanilla ice cream in an ice cream sandwich is just . . . not . . . good. AT ALL!

Don't believe me, you with your sad and resigned taste buds . . . Bud?

Then I challenge you to do the following:

1) Take a dish of your favorite premium vanilla ice cream.
2) Next to it, place the extracted oblong brick from your favorite industrial abortion of an ice cream sandwich.
3) Perform an A/B taste test.
4) Report back in this thread. STAY HONEST. Remember, Gawd and the ghost of Dolly Madison are watching.

That said, in my early days of introduction to the green goddess of goodness in college, just after indulging, we went down to the vending machine in our dorm basement and ponied up 10 cents apiece for some. Suddenly, there was an orgy of sensory delight in my mouth heretofore unknown! I realized I had discovered the beer goggles of crappy desert confections.

As the fully clothed hawkers of quiescently frozen treats trudging to and fro on the beaches of Wildwood in the hot August sun, fresh off parole and looking to take their place in the service economy, would loudly proclaim, "Ice cream heah! Take yer tongue on a sleigh ride!" :biggrin:

The above empirical challenge, my ice cream sandwich besotted friends . . . perform it and then bow before the might and majesty of SCIENCE! ()

Those Magnum bars are pretty damn good, but nevertheless I intend to resist your attempt to turn my ice cream sandwich thread into a general ice cream thread. It will not happen, sir. If you persist I shall be forced to spam the thread with pictures of ice cream sandwiches in all their infinite and wonderful variation.

Dude, you're all worked up like the minister down at the Universal Life Church of the Holy Creamery. The ice cream in a good ice cream sandwich may not compare with a premium brand on its own. I grant this. Let us not debate it. However in your haste and zeal to analyze and propound you have neglected something. What is it? The cookie! How can you judge the ice cream in an ice cream sandwich as ice cream alone? It is ice cream _and_ the cookie. It is the two together that make it a sandwich. So if we ask simply where is the best ice cream, then ice cream sandwiches need not clutter the list of candidates. But if we ask: what is the most awesome ice cream treat in totality, and which poster is the hero that has called it to everyone's attention? Why in that case the answer is entirely different.
