Pretty sure Blue Bell has always sucked, people are afraid to admit it though because... Texas.

Same with Whataburger.

NC State's dairy puts out a pretty good ice cream, branded Howling Cow.

Go to an upscale grocery store and buy one of the snobby, small batch ice cream/Gelato brands. Yea you'll pay $10 for a pint and it's a hundred calories a bite, but the ingredients are so much better quality, which shows up in the taste.

The creamery in Llano has some great stuff...its sourced out of some place in Fredericksburg so if you're ever there, happy hunting!

Asking from the homemade enthusiasts, 1. is this the best rock salt? 2. How long should it stay preserved for use in the future?

I'm pretty sure you can use any kind of salt, I've even used pool salt before, it is just to make the ice colder, it doesn't go in the ice cream.

I never had Tillamook in my life until a few months ago. I was out of state and wanted some ice cream. I loved it. When we got back we found out it is available here too.

I'm gonna try and make a milkshake with the Tillamook cookies n cream since it will otherwise go uneaten, which is still fine but worth a shot. Will report back.

It's good, not great. Gotta add a drop of vanilla extract though. Meh.

Back to the topic on hand for the thread, it blows blue bell out of the water. It's the best bang for your buck out there.
