Looks good! I love ice cream! And when I eat it I could care less about calories or fat content! But the more chocolate and nuts and stuff, the better!

Jeez, so much bitterness over ice cream. Some people are so weird.

OP...my husband loves choc/pb combinations so we'll have to try it.

I havent had ice cream that good before
All I can say is when Breyers was a Philadelphia institution(it started in Philly), they never would have made a "product" like that.

I threw the 1/2 gallon out and never looked at Breyers again. I buy Haagen Daz.
Same here. I think ice cream makers add the gum to give it a clingier 'mouth feel' but it makes the whole thing syrupy. Try Aldi's premium vanilla. No junk (gum) in it.

It's much like Starbucks and Whole Foods.


Those who frequent that crap are overly impressed with their own sense of self importance.

I agree! I've reintroduced ice cream into my diet after losing 25 pounds, and my roommate and I love to try new flavors.

Chocolate Peanut Butter is one of our standards. We prefer the Tillamook brand's version.

But lately, we've become enchanted with the Ben & Jerry's "Core" flavors. The Chocolate Fudge Brownie is glorious! I allow myself one large spoonful a day when I have a pint in the house, and it satisfies every one of my "cravings" - sooo good!

THe roommate also brought home a peanut butter cup flavor from Blue Bunny that had mini peanut butter cups with swirls of fudge and peanut butter included. Kind of blew my mind. I let myself have a big bowl of it on my birthday (you know, instead of cake) and it was totally worth it!

I'll look for this at the store - bet husband would love it!
It wasn't directed at OP at all. OP, if you took offense, I am genuinely sorry. It's just that I'm fed up of seeing 1000 different combinations of the same boring ice cream flavors in the grocery store, all based on drab, earthy flavors like brownie, PB, chocolate, toffee, etc. There's just no choice or selection in the average North American grocery store. Private ice cream parlors are better but still hit and miss. There is one in my town that TRIES to be sophisticated but they ruin it by adding too much sugar to their ice cream.

I miss European-style ice cream.

Trust me, if there was enough choice to cater to all our tastes, I couldn't care less what someone else likes. But there is no choice.
