27. Blue Bell Ice Cream

Texas born and bred, but now available in many states across the nation. And if not, you can have it packed in dry ice and sent to your home. I've read in many discussion on the greatness of Blue Bell that someone not raised on Blue Bell might have a hard time getting used to the flavor. I have no idea why that is, but I try to never touch another ice cream. Ben & Jerry's, Dryers, blah blah blahbiddy blah. Blue Bell is where it's at.

Oh, but what flavor? Take your pick. I've never had one that I didn't take at least a second or third bite of. And once a year they will make a few special flavors for a couple months, and depending on how well they do keep them in rotation. I want to say there are 15 flavors they have available year long, with more available at the creamery in Brenham if you want to venture out there. My favorite limited flavor was the Chocolate Decadence. Dutch chocolate filled with fudge, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, and white chocolate shavings. They've only made it once. I still hold out hope.

I remember Blue Bell from my Houston, TX days. It was very, very good.

There is a monthly newsletter which details which flavors are rotating. Yes, I get the monthly newsletter.

28. Macadamia Nut Encrusted Chicken from the Kona Grill.

It's their signature dish and they sell a ton of it. Have a single bite of it and you'll understand why. It'd covered in a luscious gravy, and they have an apricot (or similar) marmalade that you can smear on the chicken. Simply awesome. If you have a Kona Grill in your city, hit it.

Fact: Haagen Daaz > Ben & Jerry's

Question: Haagen Daaz ? Blue Bell

[Ed Hocken]

Haagen-Daaz, too rich in my view.

[Martin]

Haagen Daaz is too rich? Unless an ice cream ain't made of cream, it's not ice CREAM.

[Ed Hocken]

Cream, you say? *eyebrow raised*

Also, I could have sworn I've had Blue Bell ice cream. I know it's been sold around here.

Hell, even Carvel Cakes are sold in grocery stores.

ED IF YOU FIND THAT FUCKING SHIT AROUND HERE I WILL BUY YOU ICE CREAM

If it's made of cream, I'll take your word!

Saw there's milk AND cream. That's cool.

But that it has apprently High Fructose Corn Syrup. BAAAAAAAAAD.

Looks like they pulled a Ben & Jerry's.
