Best Ice Cream

[Euclid]

Literally just went out and bought 2 new (for me) ice creams to try:

Tuscanini vanilla gelato

and

Phil & Bill Capt. Ahab Strawberry (with chocolate granola)

here's my take:

Tuscanini gelato:
Too sweet, a bit very creamy (I wondered if it was egg yolk based, but nope they use mono and diglycerides for emulsification), very strong vanilla flavor- they use imititation vanilla extract and natural vanilla bean.

Phil & Bill:
Nice fresh real strawberry flavor, just sweet enough (little hints of tartness cut the sweetness). Texture was off, though. Soggy granola bits and icy particle consistency. Perhaps it just doesn't travel well (I picked these up in LKWD)

Where in Lkwd did you get Phil & Bill?

[MeirS]

You can get it in Crown Heights. Maybe they fly it in via LAX on United to avoid the bridge

Memories...
Does that still work?

All this talk was making me crave... and I just remembered that I have a nearly full tub of POTF vanilla in my freezer.

ETA: Not nearly full (anymore)

POTF is like Jewish mayo. It's heavy, with an intense milky flavor.

If I had to pick one that was my all-time favorite, the Klein's Vanilla in the box tops my chart.

What's with all the plain vanilla?
POTF shines with their flavors.

I think a good vanilla showcases a quality ice cream.

You can mask a lot of junk or problems with flavor.

Sort of like flavored or sweetened coffees.

Vanilla is also more versatile- you don't want strawberry ice cream in your affogato, nor do you want to mocha almond crunch on top of your apple pie.

JNB is kosher foodie heaven. Pity the city is ugly as sin, dangerous, has corrupt police, and there's nothing to do.

South Africa used to be a really nice country. Then Yehuda57 left. Now it's an epically awesome country!

Wow! Was this a real compliment from @YitzyS to @Yehuda57?!

Sure, but if I'm spending the calories on ice cream, it's not plain vanilla.

Hey Yehuda57, I noticed your posts seem to be lacking substance recently, and your jokes are just not funny, and you seem to be more cranky than usual, and you are really not enjoyable to be around, and your breath smells.

[AsherO]

That was a backhanded compliment, YitzyS was saying you have potential, or at least you used to have potential

[ExGingi]

Still have some in my freezer weeks later.

You are welcome to drop it off in my house so I can try it and give my opinion.

[YitzyS]

You asked for it! Thankfully it's still within the 3 hours I need to edit my original post...
