I'm not sharing my ice cream with anyone! 😡

I would have said that about them ten years ago. It's still good, but I don't think it is stand-out good.

I have never had B&J, and figured why start now, they are probably not as good as they once were. That's how it goes, usually, so unfortunately.

We get Ice Cream actually on a now and then basis.

Same as Bacon, we buy it and make BLT's about once a month more or less.

We usually always have real butter around 🙂

In recent times I have ice cream in the freezer, however I have a rule now (6 ounces vanilla in a dish, with sliced banana + 1/4 cup mixed nuts, once a week, on a weekend)

I have bacon in the freezer but I think it's been a year since I partook of it.

Butter, the real thing, I always have, Challenge European style, but I eat it very sparingly.

I'm doing pretty well on my resolve to eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, but I'm not a rule freak!

Ben & Jerry's for me. Mostly by virtue of growing up in their area...and I haven't bothered to get an ice cream scoop yet.

Mint in ice cream is fucking disgusting.



Pretty much all of my cooking needs are done with olive oil. Only used one stick of butter in the past three years or so but I have no problem with it, oil is just way easier to manage. And it takes 2-4 times for me to even go through a pint of ice cream.

Who's afraid of butter? It's margarine that's pure garbage.

I have ice cream scoops, professional grade, but haven't used one in years.

Yes, mint in ice cream is abominable.

Olive oil makes up 95+% of my cooking oil usage. I buy no other kind of oil, use very very little butter. I haven't bought margarine in over 15 years for sure.

Agreed. The only ones that are good are the ones with the slivered/shaved chocolate which melt at the same pace as the ice cream. Hate biting down on a giant crunchy chocolate chip.

I have eaten many chocolates, I'm pretty fussy about it. My favorite these days is the Lindt truffles, those little spheres. Reasonably priced at Costco in late Oct., they satisfy. I've eaten the finest most expensive chocolates and have some on the shelf, but IMO the Lindt is better.
 
Anyone who doesn't like a chocolate chip/mint and chip double from Thrifty on a cone is basically Hitler.
 
I worked for several years in upstate NY and found the Stewarts brand was very good. Not just the ice cream but all the milk products. I probably had a chocolate milk 3 times a week during that time.

My favorite ice cream of there's was there Chocolate Chip. I don't like the ice creams that are packed with junk and the Stewarts Chocolate Chip was lightly packed with small chips/slivers.

Breyer's used to be great but then Unilever got ahold of it and now it's just good.

Yeah, that's a shame. It really used to be the best standard brand by far, and local to the Philadelphia area, btw.

The brand has been bought several times since by big conglomerates, and each time, it's been downgraded and adulterated until, now, it's just an over-aerated shell of what it once was.
