What's your favorite ICE CREAM?

I vote Dairy Queen for the best fudge, caramel and toasted pecan toppings!

I trained for a new job for 2 weeks next door to a Dairy Queen. When they had that treat on sale, I could no longer resist! Yummy.

my favorite is blue bell- dutch chocolate

I am some kind of an ice cream freak. So was my dad so I got it honest. The very best I have found anywhere is a 14% butter fat premium made by a local family. They are up the holler so to speak not near the big city. Thousands drive there daily for the best of this area. I have no favorite. Next trip out it will be tub number seven. I will find out what it is when they dip it. Compairing vanilla is the only way to arrive at a best firm.

A good second is another private family I could find but have forgotten their exact location some ten miles or so West of Buffalo, N.Y. in a neighboring city. The double line that starts about mid afternoon sometimes grows into four lines out the door and down the street by early evening. They too are in the 12% -14% butter fat category.

Isn't it just about the best comfort food ever??

Is the place near Buffalo near a small park, maybe Glen Park, in Snyder or Williamsville,docgipe?

Gorsh it has been twenty years. At my age that is about nineteen years three hundred sixty four days to long to remember. Seems the name of that park rings a bell. I been listening to that bell long enough to know it does things to confuse me. I better not be guessing. LOL

I have two that I can eat till I puke!

Moose Tracks and Edy's Espresso Chip!

Someone had to mention Dairy Queen. LOL

I remember reading (hearing?) a few years ago that DQ had five different levels of "quality" ice cream base for purchase by franchises. The local DQ ice cream was good but not that good so we ended driving fifteen miles to another town's DQ because the same treat tasted much better there. I discovered this one day while working in the town and decided I needed a Banana Split Blizzard before the long ride home.

Long story short ... the elderly couple in town sold the franchise here and retired to Florida two years ago last spring. Mid-summer last year we tried the local DQ again and found our favorite treats locally were better tasting than ones 15 miles away.

Since spring this year I get my banana split blizzards locally. IMNSHO, getting them twice a week is not enough but it's better than not getting them at all. Offer me a banana split blizzard and you've got my full attention till I get it in hand or begin to think you're just funnin' me. *grin*

Did anyone mention vanilla choc mint chip? Best snuck out of the freezer before dinner with a dollup of rum honey drizzled over it. Now that's living right!

Doc...what is rum honey? Do you make it yourself by "doctoring" a bit of honey with some rum??? :-)

Ratio rum to honey......try six to one through ten to one.

Sounds great. I think a neighbor used to make some of that and heat it on the stove when his daughter (my best friend) had a cold. He once offered some to me and I tried it. Just a teaspoon. My family were tee-totalers in those days and I felt wicked but great! :-)

Ice Creamaholic here....sometimes even have it for dinner. It has to have some kind of chocolate in it although I recently made some homemade strawberry that was wonderful.

Favorite is Blue Bell Rocky Road. Also Breyers Mint Chocolate Chip is really good.
