I like them all, but I also like the pints so I don't splurge. I have no willpower.

Baskin Robbin’s is good. Nothing is better than homemade ice cream on the patio. Been that way for my 50 years

Blue Bell is 10 times the ice cream that Ben & Jerry's ever will be.

Exactly. Blue Bell is awesome.

Blue Bell has never really recovered from that Listeria incident.

Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, Cookies & Cream & pistachio almond are my favorites.

There is a local dairy in Oklahoma that has stores in North Texas called Braums. They make a Maple Black Walnut that is outstanding. They really need to ship their ice cream all over.

I think they've done okay since the listeria incident. I thought their Dr Pepper Float flavor was pretty good. Not my favorite, but I'd buy it again. But Pistachio? Nah. I thought it was nasty. Then again, the only time I tried it was from a gas station that was notorious (at the time) for selling refrozen ice cream pints. Granted, this was several years back, but I didn't like it. (I think it was half-melted and refrozen, actually.) Anyway, I thought it was so gross that I just threw the rest out. Luckily, it was just a pint.

say it isn't so, Basil ...

The only ice cream that comes close to Blue Bell (at least in my opinion) is Haagen-Dazs. Their Chocolate flavor is just as good as Blue Bell's Dutch Chocolate. (Unfortunately, that's the only Haagen-Dazs flavor that's on the same level as anything from Blue Bell.)

But they sold it to a giant UK firm years ago.

Now I want some Haagen-Dazs, but Bluebell will have to do.

Graeters is good.

I'm sorry, Andy. I didn't mean to get you to crave ice cream that day. Sorry again, buddy.

Beat me to it. If you're ever in this part of the country, get you some Braum's Ice Cream. My favorite is the Cappucino Chunky Chocolate.

I also very rarely eat fast food, but they have a fine Hamburger if you're in a hurry. 100 times better than McD's, Wendy's, or BK.

Braum's is outstanding.

If ever there were people who should be lining up to have their wealth "redistributed". Ben and Jerry should lead the way.
