The 4 Seasons of Ice Cream: Your favorite ice cream thread

In Japan it was a particular "treat" to have a warm bourbon with gold leaf shredded in so you could stir em around. Entirely stupid custom. Like gilding picture frames.

Allegedly, ice cream is good for you.

Ice cream IS good for you.

As long as it isn't done by the pint, quart of gallon daily or even five nights/mornings/afternoons each week. (Or used as a way to push a pizza through your innards)

Seriously, it kept me going in 2005-06 when I was in one of my digestive woes. But I was sort of sensible...only 2 or 3 pints per week (to help maintain weight after sudden 20+ pound loss).

Yes, a little ice cream is fine. I love it enough to eat lots every day. So I rarely buy any.

The best words I had ever heard uttered by a midwife....after being weighed while pregnant and hearing I gained just the minimum I should I said good now I can have ice cream on my way back to work... she replied “ you can have ice cream every day.”

hmm - a way to sneak in what appears to be real food - ice cream!

Mars flavored ice cream:

Hong Kong shop offers ‘tear gas’ flavor ice cream

DAMMIT, I need to have more Ice Cream flvors with MALT. Yuengling (the beer folks who covered their aasses during prohibition by making lots of malt flavor ice creams), has recently begun re making some of their old "Stout" and "Shandy" flavors all with heavy malt notes. I LOVE EM.
Any other brands out there with some malt flavors?

Maltesers do an ice cream, don’t know if you can get it over there.

Ill look it up. Old breweries would often be attached to a showy creamery in the old days waay before I was hatched. I guess it was to fool the whiskey cops.

We never had any of that nonsense over here.

well, thats because you live in a lan of complete Godlessness .The entire UK is going to hell with a pint in each hand.
Our Constitution usually allows us to try before we buy. Thats all that Prohibition stood for.

One of our local big grocery chains doesn't seem to be careful about the transport and storage of their ice cream. Too many times it has melted and been refrozen prior to the sale, then the texture is riddled with ice crystals. It changes the texture, makes it crunchy. I haven't been to Trader Joe's since the pandemic, but their ice cream is always smooth and creamy. Time to make a run over there and attempt to buy ice cream while fending off the rudest shoppers in the State. Shoppers walk around as if they are completely alone in the store, they block aisles, have little chat fests with fellow oblivious shoppers and block the meat or produce departments. It's an exercise in managing frustration.
