it's been a tough week here, and where ever you all are at...
so keeping in the spirit of stupid topics that i think up......

let's do ice cream.........

in my last office we would do ICE CREAM SUNDAE THURSDAYS!!!

it can be cones, popsicles, sno-cones, sundaes and your favorites
places to get and eat them...

you could get the best black walnut ice cream at a pharmacy up the street from my house.....

Ice cream is a wonderful thing!!! My two favorites may not be known outside of Ohio, but in Findlay, there is a wonderful ice cream/candy shop called Deitsch's and of course in Cincinnati/Columbus there's Greater's. Actually my mom and I were just talking about my version of the "WGUC" Sundae from Greaters...Raspberry chip ice cream, raspberry sauce, and hot fudge (Geater's uses vanilla unless you ask for different!) It is awesome!!!

Two words, Carole: Kapiti Icecream.

I refuse to eat the other icecreams here in NZ, they're gross. But Kapiti icecreams are delicious!!:D

Soledad, when I was in Austria, I would get this poppyseed ice cream, and it was so darn good...but, it was kinda soft, not like the typical American ice cream. So, I am wondering, what is it that you don't like about NZ stuff??

Ummmmm, now you all have me craving Ice Cream. My personal favorite is Chocolate Peanut Butter. I love lots of kinds though. Oh, Black Cherry's a good one too. Ummm! I rarely get in the mood for ice cream, but I have to be in a special mood to crave fruity flavors of ice cream. I know I'm weird.

When I was young though, and still occasionally, my absolute favorite was rainbow sherbert. Um, I could go for that right now!

a rainbow sherbert push-up!

( a push up is a cardboard tube filled with ice cream with a plunger on the other end to 'push up' the ice cream) i had one
two weeks ago!!!!

today i stopped at 'jack in the box' (usa fast food joint) and
bought a strawberry soda when i finished it i almost cried....

i remembered i could have had some vanilla ice cream with that...

Cataholic -

The problem with NZ icecream (not Kapiti) is that it's really full of all sorts of artificial stuff. They have this icecream called Jelly Tip and it's just cheap vanilla with this gel that's fruit flavoured. It's just really processed.

I like icecream that has identifiably natural stuff in it. Like if it's vanilla, I like to see specks of vanilla bean in it or chunks of REAL strawberries. Here, it's all "flavoured" meaning fake. Blech.

They also have a fascination with combining orange "flavour" and chocolate. :eek:

How about frozen custard!!??? YUM!!! Better than ice cream

i must admit i dont think nz ice creams are anything to rave about, but u do get nice ones now and then, but i cant say i have tried the kapiti ones where u get those soledad.

aww soledad dont be too harsh on our ice cream its not all that bad, but yes it is pretty artificial i suppose, have u tried the lites 97 per cent fat free stuff from tip top i quite like those, however i reckon they put more sugar in them, so i really have to wonder if its any better, i like the easter egg smash flavour, america has some awesome flavours i have never even heard of, but i guess we only cater for a mere 3 million people so not so much to choose from, have u tried the danish cones soledad, they are not too bad.

I pretty much love all ice cream, there's not a flavor I've tried that I didn't like! :)

Old family favorite: black walnuts (which are extremely hard to get out of the shell intact, so you've earned your treat by the time you have enough) and warm maple syrup over vanilla ice cream! It's sugaring season in the North woods ...

A thread about food? Count me in!!!!!

I absolutely love butter pecan ice cream, but not the pecans - so I guess I like butter ice cream! I make a big dish of it and then keep a little Dixie cup next to me (my "nut cup") where I put all the pecans I pick out :o :p :D ! I also love mixing orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream together..........mmmmm, creamsicle.........chocolate soft-serve cones are good, especially in summer on a beautiful night. I love Good Humor Chocolate Eclair bars, Heath ice cream bars, ice cream sandwiches, Drumsticks, and my nirvana is finding Good Humor Toasted Almond bars - really hard to find anymore, so when I do, I tend to BINGE! :D

I have a wonderful friend who blessed Scott and me with a wonderful "fancy" ice cream maker as a wedding gift. We are experimenting with it, one quart at a time, to try and find the perfect combination. :) The first test followed the instructions exactly as written..........and we discovered that using less sugar might make that vanilla ice cream taste even better. The second time, I was trying to make it so that my husband could eat it (he's on a low carb diet).......used all cream, instead of the milk/cream combination and used Splenda instead of sugar (and downsized the sugar measurement). We made frozen whipped cream! LOL!!! It was coming out the top of the container before it was finished! :o

We're holding out for summertime and good SC peaches!! I think homemade peach ice cream will be devine!! And we'll have it down to a science by that time!!! :D There is nothing better than home churned ice cream!!

*giggle* I do the SAME thing with butter pecan ACGS. Everyone makes fun of me for it, but I just want the buttery sweetness!!

I get Kapiti Ice Cream at the grocery store. It's the best. I don't care much for Tip Top. Except for Hokey Pokey. :)

We also go tan ice cream maker for our wedding (which was now 2 1/2 yrs ago....and I think we have used it once? Made great ice cream...I just don't think about it enough in advance!

Ours is great, Amy, because you just keep the little bowls in the freezer until you're ready and then you can have ice cream in 30 minutes!!! :) I sound like a Cuisinart commercial and I could probably do one for them now!! I'm sold!! No more rock salt, no more ice........even though the days of churning ice cream outside are some of my fondest memories. For today's lifestyle, this is a terrific thing! :) And all thanks to my good Pet Talk friend who sent it!!!

Cincy'sMom

03-28-2003, 09:19 PM

Ours has one big bowl you can pre-freeze and doesn't need any ice or salt, but it just got to the point we weren't using it and it was takingup too much freezer space :) With warmer weather coming, I may have to throw it back in!
