We've wrestled over peanut butter, haggled over coffee, argued over root beer...now for the really important food of life - ice cream!

This one's tough! You think discussions about turn tables and IC's are heated? Hah! Try this one!

What's your favorite ice cream?

Me? I've gone from 31 Flavors Chocolate Mousse Royale to Ben & Jerry's New York Superfudge Chunk to B & J's Oatmeal Cookie, but now that that one's been discontinued (the rats!) I'm lost!

What's yours?

    Haagen-daz Baileys Irish Cream and Creme Brulee are 2 of my favorites . Edy's had a Black Rasberry Avalanche with chocolate chips and a Rasberry swirl in vanilla ice cream , not sure if that's the exact title or not though . Oh yeah , I'm a Vanilla Guy , take the vanilla out of chocolate and it's not nearly as good .

    Richardson's Coffee Heath ice cream is by the far the best ice cream hands down. It is made locally here in the next town over from me, you can even walk through their facility at any time and meet the cows, etc. Pretty cool place.

    Favorite Ice Cream? Thta's like picking your favorite child. Though I will concur with Richardson's being fanTASTic. I'm usually either a mint chocolate chip or a peanut butter cup type of guy.

    Joe, you ever get out here we can go to Oberweis and pig out. It is a local to us dairy. Milk in glass bottles, though the quality starts way before the container. Their 2% is thicker than some brands regular milk. Excellent ice cream too.

    With the exception of chocolate chips, I don't like chunks of anything in my ice cream. I ussually go for vanilla with chocolate sauce and wipped cream. If I have enough supplies I might stick a couple of thin mints or oreos and maybe a few m&ms.

    Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream quality hands down...nothing I have tried from cheaper to nose in the air higher is anywhere as good. Their coffee ice cream is my favorite when I dont want really sweet...when the sweet tooth is hounding the cake batter or the cookie dough are both equally awesome.

    OK, as for ice cream brands, Ben and Jerry's has everyone beat hands down. Especially if you go to Vermont and have it at one of the scoop shops! Yeah, that's awesome sauce! I don't care what kinda refrigerated rock you got or how many foolish people you have dressed up in some silly costumes behind the counter, Ben and Jerry's just has the quality and variety down pat! My favorite Ben and Jerry's? I think it's a toss up between the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the Country Peach Cobbler!


    As for ice cream being served, there is this bar here in NJ called Clancy's. They have a Cheesecake Banana Split. It' starts out as a slice of cheesecake, they slice a banana in half and place it on either side and cover it in vanilla ice cream, caramel, walnuts, whipped cream and cherries! It's awesome!

    Another vote for Coldstone Creamery. I've been treated too well by them, my wife's cousins own one. Their gift to us for our wedding this summer was an ice cream bar at the reception. They did the whole set up, right down to the marble stone chilled with dry ice. It was, by far, the thing that people commented the most about.

    I've been to Coldstone a few times, and they're good, but something about them... their ice cream sits heavier than any I've ever had. It's like sitting down to a meal.

    What happened to Toasted Almond George?

    Mine? A heaping a scoop of French Vanilla over a slice of hot, homemade Apple Pie.

    I enjoy ice cream from "The Creamery" up at Penn State. They have bred special cows up there to get higher milk fat content. They also only feed them sweet food so the milk is "engineered" to make ice cream.

    BTW, Ben and Jerry learned how to make ice cream at Penn State.
