Breyers Chocolate Ice Cream is the Best

[Ns1]

Ha ha, I had a pint of Haagen Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond this weekend and almost came while eating it. Breyers? Really?

this flavor is truly awesome.

 

[slayer202]

has anyone tried haagen dazs creme brulee?

and which of their chocolate is better, the normal one or five? both have the same ingredients lol, but one has more cream than skim milk, and the other vice versa

4 quarts for $10 at my grocery store this week. Picked up a quart after work today to have for dessert tonight.

One particularly nice thing - Breyer's has been immune to the grocery shrink ray - a quart is still a quart. Most of the other brands are making slightly smaller containers these days. Then again, after I have ice cream tonight, it'll probably be freezer burnt by the time I want ice cream again. I generally hate ice cream (years and years of all the ice cream I could ever want for free.)

Bolded is completely untrue. Breyer's "half gallon" is down to, IIRC, 1.5 quarts.

Seeing as I dislike Breyer's I don't have a problem with this. I just want to correct your misinformation and show the world yet another way in which Breyer's sucks.

well I'm eating some haagen-dazs five milk chocolate right now, and I gotta say, it's pretty darn good. but I did come right home from the store and start to eat it, so my freezer didn't get a chance to fuck with the texture, which is usually the downfall of ice cream at home

My bad... it wasn't Breyer's - it was Byrne's. And a half gallon is a half gallon for Byrne's. (And, it was delicious, although 1/2 of the half gallon will probably be freezer burnt by the time I'm in the mood again.)

jesus, I went to TJ's last night and picked up the last tub of ultra dark chocolate. Item is HOT.


the GF and I ate 4 scoops last night =X

I love Ben & Jerry's "Chocolate" ice cream. Just pure chocolate. So great.

 

[RagingBITCH]

You guys need to try Kroger's Private Selection ice cream. It's probably the most expensive one in their freezer aisle (at least $/oz) - but hands down and away, that is some of the best ice cream I've ever had short of the homemade ones.

I must acquire some Friendlys Chocolate ice cream but I dont know who sells it down here. Ill have to call up the restaurant see if they sell tubs,.

Damn...that's a name out of ancient history for me...I haven't seen a Friendly's Ice cream parlor since 1964...

cherry garcia is the best, in my opinion. absolutely love it.

i tried some of that haagen dasz vanilla swiss almond last night... was so unimpressed. i got another haagen dasz flavor, too, for comparison in case one of the two flavors sucked... well, they both sucked.

the only good thing haagen dasz puts out is five.

ugg... local traders joe's is out of the ultra chocolate

but at $4 for 1 quart, i'm thinking Turkey Hill Dutch chocolate is the better bang for the buck at $2.50 for 1 1/2 quarts (when on sale, which is often at my local supermarket)

turkey hills on sale at my local supermarket.

bought dutch chocolate. also notice that turkey hill now has "Philly style".

cream, sugar, milk, and cocoa.

now to taste test them side by side

 

[zokudu]

I love Turkey Hill. :wub:

Breyer's, Edy's, Turkey Hill and Friendly's "half-gallon" containers are 1.5 quarts now, Blue Bunny "half-gallon" is 1.75 quart. That's a clear win for Blue Bunny.

Please get a clue and shut up, not necessarily in that order. You should not be in such a hurry to prove your ignorance, we'll all figure it out anyway.

 

[Numenorean]

Seriously, there is no other chocolate ice cream out thats better.

Yes there is. But I won't tell you where to get it. Suffice it to say you would have to travel completely across the country to get it though.

From wiki :

Cost Cutting

Although promoting itself as a 'natural ice cream' in the past, like some of their competitors Breyers has recently reformulated many of its flavors with cheaper nontraditional ingredients.


Canada

Breyers is also available in Canada, where the product is sold in 1.89-L (half-US-gallon) containers. Some are marketed as a "frozen dessert" instead of ice cream,[5] since certain products are made with hydrogenated vegetable oils and modified milk ingredients rather than milk.




There is more info on the net about this see chowhound etc.

Wrong again. The container I have at home shows Milk, Cream, Sugar, and a couple of other things. I made sure to check with the other moran posted above.

You can get frozen dessert through them but those are separate products and are marked as such.
