Blue Bell is sold in only 17 states, so the rest of us can order it
from their "country store" at $119, for four half gallons... and we
can use our coupon there too.

TY! Tried a couple of varieties of Blue Bell and was completely
unimpressed. It wasn't any better than Blue Bunny, Dreyer's, Breyer's or
any of the other supermarket brands available locally. It has artificial
flavourings in it. Will stick to my own frozen custard.

Perhaps you got a different Blue Bell. Certainly the Blue Bell we get
here in the Dallas area beats the Dryer's / Breyer's and the like by a
*wide* margin. Blue Bunny also tends to beat the Dryer's / Breyer's as
well, but not Blue Bell. Braum's ice cream beats Blue Bell, but it has
an even smaller market area.

I find Fox's U-Bet too one-dimensional to be very appealing. I think that
most people who like it are really just nostalgic.

DH likes the sugar-free reduced fat Blue Bunny. They sell it at Super
WalMarts.

We went to the factory in Mars, Iowa. No tours but they have a welcome
center and a nice video.

Sonic will add extra malt to their malts. I like Sonic chocolate
malts. I'm afraid I have never had an authentic soda fountain malt.

YMMV as always. None of the ice creams mentioned is all that good to
begin with. Was expecting something utterly fantastic from Blue Bell and
it just wasn't there. It just didn't taste any different.

Realize that Blue Bell is a normal ice cream and one that is notably
better than pretty much all the other mass market normal ice creams. It
has less overrun, is still a real half gallon, and is good overall
quality. It is not advertised to be a "super premium" or "all natural"
ice cream.

Yep, Sonic does, as does Steak-n-Shake. But, the 'shakes' at both
places are still not the 'real' thing - close, though! I used to ask
for extra malt, but since the main ingredients were poor imitations, the
result was left wanting. Not to mention, the 'jerk' at the machines
usually are too quick to worry about quality (sigh). Ah well,
live-n-learn, eh!

Blue Bell also sells a no-sugar added, fat free ice cream that is not
bad. Only comes in vanilla though.

My favorite is full sugar, full fat, Southern Blackberry Cobbler
followed by Banana Split, followed by Banana Pudding.

Make your own, Carnation still sells malt powder, even in flavors if you
want it. I make my own in the blender, I don't have an old Hamilton
Beach malt maker. My paternal grandmother ran a malt and burger shop
across the street from a high school for years. I was the soda jerk
there as my high school's holidays were different from the one near her
shop. Had the old malt mixer with six stands on it.

Grannie got on my case about too much ice cream in the malts because
those girls in the pleated wool skirts and the cashmere sweaters MADE me
put extra ice cream in them. This was in the fifties, wore the paper
cap, bow tie, and sleeve garters too. Great fun back then, even though I
worked for free, the owner being my grannie and all.

Blue Bell makes a cherry cordial ice cream that is cherry flavored with
little chocolate covered cherry cordials in it. They don't make it all
the time, but I used to love it when I could taste more than the first
bite of ice cream.

BTW, I've toured the Blue Bell ice cream factory at least a half-dozen
times and I'm always mesmerized by that machine that makes ice cream
sandwiches.

No, but people were waxing rhapsodic about it on this group So had to
have a go. As mentioned I didn't find it better than any 'normal' ice
cream available locally.

I'm afraid you've got Blue Bell confused with Bryer's / Dreyer's, those
are the ones with massive overrun, not Blue Bell.

When low carb products were everywhere Blue Bunny lower carb beat the
other brands nicely. There's really no such thing as a low carb ice
cream unless you make it yourself so they are all "lower" rather than
"low", but they worked on a low carb plan every so often. And frozen it
lasted in the freezer for the months between servings.

No that low carb ice cream isn't everywhere and I'm not consistant about
low carbing, comparing their regular ice cream head to head with Eddys
or other brands regularly available takes more attention to detail than
I spend on ice cream. I've never done a blind tasting to compare
ice cream brand to brand like I have with some products.

George, my oldest son is arriving tomorrow evening, so I bought a new
flavor (for me). It is Fudge Brownie Nut**; dark chocolate ice cream
with chewy fudge brownie pieces and tasty pecans, almonds and walnuts.It
was $3.88 at Kroger and I had a $1.00 coupon. Ya can't beat that.

I don't know, I haven't run into any Blue Bell that wasn't rather solid.
Braum's is solid to the point of being almost "chewy". The last time I
tried Dreyer's, it had so much overrun and seemed to lack fat that it
actually tasted "dry" *ick*!

That would probably just get them watering down the ice cream, since
water is heavier than cream

There is a chain in southern Washington and Oregon called Burgerville.
The main attraction during the summer is their fresh fruit shakes. When
SO and I went to Oregon two years ago we stopped at Burgerville for
lunch and ordered a small raspberry shake. Between the two of us, we
could not finish it. It was good, but I can't deal with a shake on top
of a burger and fries anymore. I guess it's the lower metabolic rate
that comes with aging.

The Cornell Dairy is also wonderful for ice cream. Alas, I heard that
they will suspend operations while the food science building is being
renovated. The dining halls will be serving Perry's during the
renovation--a sorry substitute at best. At least Purity Ice Cream is

Taylor-Wharton if you're looking to do LN2 ice cream

Otherwise the Kitchenaid ice cream maker attachment works well (I have
one of those too).

I get it at my local Airgas branch ($1/L), most industrial gas suppliers
should have it. Yes you need to bring your own container (unless you
want to lease one), I bring my 25L Taylor-Wharton Dewar.

My wife grew up 1/2 block from Washington State University (her father
worked there). They had (and have) an Ice Cream Shoppe, but they are
known for their cheese, Cougar Gold:

We had a long thread on this, on this group, not too long ago. Makes
sense that it would be easily available, and cheap. The way that pure
oxygen is often obtained, is to chill air until it turns into a liquid,
and then distill it. 80% of the result is LN2, which doesn't have as
many uses as LOX. So, it's cheap. Practically a byproduct.

Anyone who pay that is either rich, stupid or both. Blue Bell is not
that big of a deal. Third rate ice cream. Blue Bell's website
doesn't even list their ingredients, which is pathetic. What are they
hiding, maybe the fact that they save a few cents a half gallon by
using HFCS instead of cane sugar?

Ice cream is spelled H A A G E N D A S Z.

Braum's is far better than Blue Bunny. Blue Bunny is junk. Here's
some of their ingredients, copied and pasted from their website: "Mono
& Diglycerides, Guar Gum, Artificial and Natural Flavors, Sodium
Phosphate, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Citrate, Polysorbate 80,
Carrageenan."

Even Braum's has :
"stabilizer blend (monoglycerides, cellulose gel, cellulose gum,
carrageenan)."
How come they need that crap, but Haagen-Dasz doesn't?

Crappy.

Uh-huh, rich, stupid or both? And, actually, it's spelled Haagen Dazs,
and it's not that good. Rite Aide sells Thrifty Ice Cream that is both
less expensive than your ridiculously priced Haagen Dazs and is a very
fine ice cream. The sherbet isn't so good, however.
