Thrifty's and Fairways. Now it comes in a containers mixed with other flavours, but I liked the pure lime flavour.

5 daysago  I pulled out a tub of Breyers Ice cream from my freezer and had a snack late at night.

 

This morning I found the tub in my fridge and I guess that being sleepy I put it back into the fridge not into the freezer

 

I opened it up expecting to find it liquid.

 

It wasnt .

 It looked like a sponge with a tiny bit of liquid in the bottom of the tub.

 

This seemed odd

 

 

After reading the ingriedients I now realize that Breyers is not ice cream at all.

 

It is a mixture of unknown stuff .

 

There is no reference on the box calling it ice cream it is only called FROZEN DESSERT

 

Most poeple call it ice cream but it is not ice cream.

 

After 5 days of not being in a freezer it maintained its shape.

 

I wont be buying that stuff any longer

Cost-cutting

Prior to 2006,^[2] Breyers was known for producing ice cream with a small number of all-natural ingredients. In recent years, as part of cost-cutting measures since their move from Green Bay, Wisconsin to Unilever's U.S. headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,^[3] Unilever has reformulated many of its flavors with nontraditional, additive ingredients, significantly changing the taste and texture of their desserts as a direct result of these additions.^[2] Following similar practices by several of their competitors, and to the consternation of many former customers,^[2] Breyers' list of ingredients has expanded to include natural food additives such as Tara gum^[4] and Carob Bean gum,^[5] artificial additives such as maltodextrin and propylene glycol,^[6] and common artificially separated and extracted ingredients such as corn syrup, whey, and many others.^[5][6]

One significant result of these cost-cutting practices has been that the majority of their U.S. products no longer contain enough milk and cream to actually be considered "ice cream", and are now labeled "Frozen Dairy Dessert" instead.^[7] Likewise in Canada, where they are labeled "Frozen Dessert".^[8][9] Ultimately, only a select few former Breyers all-natural products are still truly "ice cream".

For several decades over 30% of Breyers products, including most of their products sold in the Northeastern U.S., were produced in a large plant outside Boston, in Framingham, Massachusetts. However, as part of further cost-cutting by Unilever, the plant was closed in March 2011.^[10]

Eww.

 

Taco Bell is also doing some pretty gnarly stuff with their offerings.

 

It looks bad but passable... until you learn that—according to the Alabama law firm suing Taco Bell—only 36% of that is beef. Thirty-six percent. The other 64% is mostly tasteless fibers, various industrial additives and some flavoring and coloring. Everything is processed into a mass that actually looks like beef, and packed into big containers labeled as "taco meat filling." These containers get shipped to Taco Bell's outlets and cooked into something that looks like beef, is called beef and is advertised as beef by the fast food chain. - Source

 

This lawsuit, btw, was eventually dropped. But not before Taco Bell smartened up and claimed that in fact 88% of their "taco filling" was beef, and the other was "secret ingredients." Right.

You can apparently find this on Whipped Toppings on drinks. Leave it in your hot car and it is normal hours later...

I got my hands on a Kitchenaid ice cream maker. Milk, whipping cream, sugar, a little vanilla and in 20 minutes you have a batch of really good ice cream. There seems to be an infinite number of recipes on the web and in books to experiment with. If you go through a lot of ice cream the purchase should pay for itself, never mind eliminating scary ingredients from your diet. Cost-cutting tips include buying your whip cream on sale, say at Costco or Superstore. Or substitute a larger portion of lower-fat coffee creamer and reduce the milk in the recipe.

Whipped cream should never be bought in a spray can it is so easy to make from scratch

Buy whipping crean from milk isle
Pour into bowl
Add a few drops of vanilla and a tiny bit of sugar
Whip it by hand with a whisk to incorporate lots of air into it until it thickens

Or use kitchen aid mixer with whisk attachment on high speed

Homemade ice cream is the best.  Kitchenaid from costco. Super easy to make.  Loving it right now with the temp climbing. 

 

Prefer it with Baileys.

I was thinking today, why doesn't every coffee shop in town serve ice cream in the summer? It can't be too hard to have a little hard ice cream freezer, even somewhat mobile, you could throw it out on the patio maybe. I declare, every coffee shop ought to sell ice cream for the three days it'll be nice this summer.

Cook St. Moka house sells ice cream, not soft serve either.

My GF is the Gm there, they sell a fair amount of it as well.

I went to Wendy's today for a burger, chilli and a Frosty for dessert. 

 

This is a SMALL Frosty, it's a full bowl of ice-cream.  The small cup is deceptive.

What’s in a Wendy’s Frosty?

Wendy’s Frosty requires 14 ingredients to create what traditional shakes achieve with only milk and ice cream. So what accounts for the double-digit ingredient list? Mostly a barrage of thickening agents that includes guar gum, cellulose gum, and carrageenan. And while that’s enough to disqualify it as a milk shake in our book, it’s nothing compared to the chemist’s list of ingredients in the restaurant’s new line of bulked-up Frankenfrosties.
 

 

Not bad all that in a tiny cup

When I first looked at your pic I though it was Mashed Potatos

[sebberry]

It's OK.  I piled strawberries and blueberries on top after I took the photo.
