Ed wanted to see the LIST of ingredients from 40 years ago... would
have been a much shorter list. In the '50s commercial icecream was
much different from today's, it was as natural as the best homemade,
was far better than today's premium ice creams. My favorites were
Louis Sherry and Dolly Madison... back then Good Humor was an
excellent natural ice cream, I liked their coconut and toasted
coconut. One summer I drove a Bungalow Bar truck, was a low end ice
cream but much better than today's premiums.
Today's best commercial ice creams are in the same catagory as today's
mystery meat fast food burgers compared to home ground burgers. Ben &
Jerrys is overly sugared crap, it's more a cheap confection than a
quality ice cream. The best ice cream by far is sold at Spumoni
Gardens in Brooklyn NY... spumoni to die for, one taste and any
spumoni sold in Italy is garbage.
