Any ice cream junkies here? Favorite brands? Flavors?

The creamer and richer the better. So my go-to brands are Kroger Private Selection, Tillamook, and Guernsay Farms (Michigan brand).

3. Breyer's was made in West Philly

Til the company was sold to Unilever and they moved out of town. Product has been downhill ever since. Plus I think they were the first major ice cream brand to shrink the box.

13. They shrunk the box on the cache being to say Breyer's was in it. They lied. ...

... we got Breyer's in Akron. It was worth the extra half buck a gallon.

I love ice cream, virtually any flavor. I have fond memories of my grandmother making ice cream in her old hand operated ice cream maker at home. Peach was her favorite and mine!




Bad thing is.....it makes me sick. Something to do with the milk. I can't drink lactose free milk either so it's something else.

14. Tillamook is only worth it in Oregon, sadly. Fortunately I have Blue Bell here in Texas.

6. Haagen Dazs, coffee ice cream.

Naturally, I love Haagen Dazs, as it has such a high butter-fat content. Really, any coffee flavor ice cream does it for me. Yum.

Tillamook makes several good flavors, really creamy. Hudsonville is a favorite of mine, their Traverse City Cherry Fudge and Deer Traxx are both great. And Ben and Jerry's makes some really good ones too, their Core ice creams are really good.

I always get some from the Chocolate Shoppe. Peach is the best, but it's seasonal. Heading up next week.

15. In Philadelphia PA We Have Bassetts!

Sold at the Reading Terminal Market.
Might be the oldest Ice Cream brand in the USA. Since 1861.
You can find it in some Philly area stores too. High butter fat content. The Rum Raisin & Vanilla are amazing.
Bryers used to be great but hasn't been for years.
And let's give a shout out to New Jersey's Richman's Ice Cream. That's good to.
Local PA brand Turkey Hill is less expensive & pretty good too. I like almost any Ice Cream though I did try Vegen Ice Cream & wasn't too thrilled.
Without Dairy it ain't Ice Cream!

17. Turkey Hill has some great flavors

Normally I’m one for the most chocolate possible, but I live Turkey Hill orange-vanilla swirl. Vanilla ice cream with swirls of orange sherbet.
Green’s is another local PA brand that’s great, especially the chocolate.
