Title: Blue Bell Ice Cream
Post by: Masherbrum on August 11, 2012, 06:20:10 PM
Took the family to Cabela's in Dundee earlier today and across the road was a place that had Blue Bell Ice Cream.   I had a single scoop of Pistachio Almond and all I can say is that scoop was the best ice cream I have ever had.

I wish up here they had more places that served it.

Legend has it that Sunbat Muppet once pushed down two old ladies to get a half scoop of vanilla some little girl had dropped from her cone.

Seriously, guy loves blue bell. And for good reason, stuff is amazin'.

Legends grow fast.  That only happened a few weeks ago.  I told Sunbat he is a jerk and he told me I never tasted blue bell before.

There's a little mom&pop icecream shop 1/2 mile from my house that sells Blue Bell, every Friday night is family icecream night.

If you ever pass through Brenham, Texas go by the Blue Bell factory. They will give you samples that just came off the line.

This is a trip I take the kids on twice a year.  It's a peaceful drive in the country and the tour is actually mre interesting  than you may think.  I guess in Texas we are spoiled that we can just go to the store and pick up a gallon or two  :banana: :banana

Lambo, we too used to have an ice cream (and movie) night... but we find it difficult to limit it to just one night. :)
My favorites: southern blackberry cobbler, banana split and tiramisu (I think they only had that on shelves for a month, I'd love to find it again!!!)

I love Blue Bell Ice Cream!  On suggestion I ordered some.  Expensive because it had to be shipped to NE ohio from Tex!

They have specialty flavors on occaision.  The Cinnamon is to die for!  I had a gallon of Cinnamon and Cherry Vanilla.

Ice Cream is not the same to me now.  I have to have Blue Bell or nothing!

This is a man of discriminating tastes. Good for you ordering it and having it shipped. We do that with Lou Malnati's Chicago Pizza cuz it is awesome.

There is none greater than Homemade Vanilla. I'm a HV snob and will dig through the freezer to find the freshest half gallon and refuse to buy anything over a month old.

One of the hardest things I had to do is after my heart surgery was give up Blue Bell. I was hooked on Pralines and Cream.

They have plants that make the product. You can tour their plant and sample product.


They tell you during the tour which flavor is most popular.... it's not vanilla.

Gonna have to see if I can come across some of this Blue Bell stuff next time I am in Indiana visiting my daughter..... Sounds like top notch stuff.   So far best ice cream I have personally ever had comes from Oberweis Dairy in the Chicago area.....  Hands down the best store bought dairy products around this area you can get.
As close to farm fresh as there is imo, and I grew up on a dairy farm   :)

First of all I have 3 people I'd like to kick in the arse.

1.) Coach:  He suggested I order some a few years back.  I did.  It was great but I kicked the habit (or so I thought)
2.) Max:  For confirming what Coach told me.......basically talked me into ordering.

Drum Rollllllllllllllllllllllll and 3rd but not least Karaya for bringing this dam subject up again!

OTW to my house in NE Ohio are Banana Split, Buttered Pecan, HM Vanilla and Peaches,and HM Vanilla.
Being shipped Weds.
Dam You!   Dam you all!!
