Fake Ice Cream Ping!.................
I can honestly say I feel like total crap when I eat ice cream. it does something to my gallbladder and overall has a very negative effect on me.
I make my own. I know what is in it: Milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla…..and then whatever I want for add ins.
After a few attempts you can get the process down—and it comes out great.
I see more frozen desert and less ice cream on the shelves these days.
I generally don’t get to eat ice cream so when I do I am selective and it is in small amounts. Blue Bell or Braum’s and that’s it and in that order and only in homemade vanilla eaten on the installment plan as slowly as possible before it melts.
If you can’t do homemade, Haagen Dazs is where it’s at in terms of supermarket ice cream. But only when it’s deeply discounted.
Well, at least you don't gain weight by the air, right?
Tillamook!
Umpqua!
Both very high quality NW brands.
Costco vanilla ice cream is quite good.
A few ice cubes, a banana, 1/4 cup yogurt, and your choice of flavorings topped with milk in the blender. Smoothies have weaned me from icecream and sugar.
I guess my go to is Haagen Daz or a seasonal Trader Joe’s ice cream like Pumpkin ice cream.
I try to say away from ice cream which can make me gain weight but sometimes I can’t help it.
Hagen Daas for me. I loved Ben&Jerry’s Heath Bar Crunch but their political ravings turned me off.
Titanium?! In ice cream?!
You can tell cheap ice cream by how fast it melts. and you can buy by the weight. We i made ice cream the difference in the better and lesser brands was air. Haagen Daz is the only ice cream i buy.
I rarely buy ice cream, but if I have to I buy Breyer’s Vanilla.
On a hot summer day, I prefer a frozen fruit bar, though they’re not good for you, either. ;)
Back in the last century in the small town(then) of Falls Church Virginia 2 Brothers ran a Frozen Custard stand that was the best iced treat I’ve ever had. They had 2 machines and made their custard where you could see it. If you bought more than a cone or a dish they would hand pack your carboard pint or quart tube as you watched. The people of that town still talk about that stand and how they miss it.
It was so good that people would wait in line in the snow to buy some.
Yay - Blue Bell isn’t on the list. I don’t buy ice cream all that often, but when I do, it’s Blue Bell.
It doesn’t mention one that has whipped air into its product, yet the headline points it out. Remember when a bar of soap was actually soap and not air? Dial brand said they changed the shape to keep it from slipping out of the user’s hand. Conveniently, it also came after people complained about the smaller, lighter, bar. So, it pumped air into the bar to make it look bigger. Remember when a link of sausage weighed a pound, now it’s 12-13 oz and a 12 oz bottle of shampoo contained no water. 3 pounds of coffee is now 32 oz and the list goes on and on. Just another form of inflation.
I grew up in a high mountain resort area. You could always tell the cheap ice cream by the cartons bursting.
I looked up carageenan and discovered it's worse than I thought. All these years I recalled a professor sneering that people were afraid of carageenan, and it's just a product of seaweed. Well, the medical study on the product I read makes me avoid it in all foods, including the food I buy pets.
