Road Runner Posted March 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2019 I used to keep a half-gallon in my fridge most of the time and would eat some every 4-5 days or so. My dad always kept ice cream and apples in the house for snacks. We were allowed to have a bowl of ice cream almost every night, between dinner and bedtime. We were allowed to eat apples whenever we wanted one. Nowadays, I always have apples on hand, but I seldom buy ice cream. I came down with a severe cold yesterday, so I bought some ice cream to soothe my throat. I am a wild and crazy guy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted March 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2019 Yes. And it's my Mother's fault. Last year I cleaned out her two fridges and there were 9 half gallons of ice cream plus various ice cream bars. As a child, there was always ice cream in our house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays I have rid myself of all dairy. It wasn't easy and arguably ice cream is the hardest to move beyond. But I've done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted March 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 25, 2019 I don't eat it too much, but stop once in while throughout the warmer months for a cone or such 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted March 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2019 There was a time that WoKzoo and I and our kids would have ice cream 5 out of 7 nights. That went on for a couple years but we were all younger then. We have ice cream in the house about once every couple months. It's usually inspired by grandkids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted March 25, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 25, 2019 Libs has peanut butter soft serve. Which is delish and evil. No summer is complete without a little Gelato Fiasco, or a Mocha shake from Reds. We're talking a trip to Boothbay Harbor (best mini-golf in Maine, and don't start, I was a seriously hurting unit when we started doing that). Some of Maine's best scream is on the way, Round Top. And you shouldn't overlook the Needham ice cream at Len Libbys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted March 25, 2019 Share #8 Posted March 25, 2019 We try not to keep it all them time, but do get a craving and buy a half-gallon once in a while. Last night WoW was craving a Blizzard.

Ralphie ★ Posted March 25, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 25, 2019 I do, having a small bowl a lot of nights, maybe 4 oot of 7. But I can stretch a 1.5 liter container oot over a week or two. I also use it sometimes as heartburn medicine as needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted March 25, 2019 Share #12 Posted March 25, 2019 My pet peeve is they put the decent ice cream on sale "Buy One Get One Free". As a family of 2...who needs a gallon of ice cream? ? Put it on sale for half price which is the BOGO equivalent and you just get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted March 26, 2019 Share #14 Posted March 26, 2019 The occasional container of Haagen Dazs. Did you know that little cup is 3.5 servings ? @ 300 & some calories per serving.... If you're going to splurge, splurge good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 26, 2019 Share #15 Posted March 26, 2019 On average, about 12 times a year. I try not to keep it in the house. When I do have it I like to seek out those places that have really good ice cream. The places they make it themselves are best. Moo-Thru in Remington VA is good, as is Farfars in Duxbury MA. Those are my favorites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted March 26, 2019 Share #17 Posted March 26, 2019 While I don't know if there is a bad flavor, at least I haven't found it yet, my go-to is Breyers vanilla with shreds of vanilla beans. Will have to keep trying to see if I find a bad flavor. And there is what to put on it. A drizzle of chocolate? Maple syrup? Bourbon? So many decisions!

I listened to a Freakanomics podcast that investigated the MSG thing. One Dr bet another Dr that they could get published in the JAMA. Instead of doing a lot of research, then sweating over writing a paper then doing peer review...he wrote a letter to the editor about how MSG was bad....all of it made up ANSWER the question @Scrapr....yes I do eat ice cream. I am currently on a local ice cream that is salted caramel. It's delish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 26, 2019 Share #20 Posted March 26, 2019 I generally get a pint of Ben & Jerry's or 48 oz of Turkey Hill about once every month or two and eat it in 2-4 portions. If it wasn't for weight and diabetes, I'd have it more frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 26, 2019 Share #21 Posted March 26, 2019 I love real ice cream. The problem is that the only real ice cream is hard to find, even the "premium" ice creams have multiple gums, thickeners, and shelf stabilizers, making it a bunch of garbage. Haagen Daz typically doesn't do that, so it is better than most, and is typically best at the grocery stores. It is no better at the whole food places, they just use organic chemicals and sell you a load of expensive shit vs. cheap shit. I am going to eventually make my own.

We made it as kids - it was a big effing rigamarole, and I see why my parents always tried to stonewall us when we would implore them to make ice cream. Far easier to but the factory-made crap that is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of area where the towns are so small, going to a town with a DQ is “big deal”! And they have quite a distance in the western part of the state. There is a little town about 20 miles from here hit hard by the flooding. They have a little house that serves hand scooped ice cream that is really good! I hope they are able to reopen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an area of town that I frequent - more due to traffic in the hospital/commercial district than neighborhood security. Plus it is out of my normal pattern of shopping as the major stores are all over the city so no reason to go there. When glancing at the map, noted that it was a few blocks from the Pulse Nightclub site of the mass shooting. What has me confused are the recent reviews noting great food, dining atmosphere, no nightclub reference, etc when the site was converted to a memorial. I believe the owner did open a new nightclub elsewhere. Will have to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
