Now really, what sort of threads would we have if we bowed to those who announce "end of discussion"? tsk.
OK, if we're limited to ice cream (as opposed to gelato), my vote goes to Lazy Sundae in Arlington, Virginia. And I used to love Hillary's in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, but I don't know if that's even there any longer.

Ok, I have a question for everyone. A few years ago, when I lived in Wisconsin, I used to buy an apple pie ice cream in the carton. It had real crust in with the apples. Delicious. I have been looking for it since. Does anyone know if this still exists and who makes it. Edy's maybe?

Dear Raeona,
To answer your question- Athens is about 140 miles south of Johnson City. However, Mayfield products are available from the market in Johnson City (I am a former resident of Johnson City). It is good from the market but better in scoops from the source.
Also, Mayfield Ice Cream was named the "World's Best Ice Cream" by Time Mag. in 1981. Time has not named a new champion since! Come on down and try the world's best ice cream, next to homemade. Regards,

Being in Freeport Maine, walking out of LL Bean and finding out the the Ben & Jerry booth in front is giving away free ice cream that day and asking for a donation to help kids go to camp. It was late April and apparently no set day that this happens! Now THAT is great Ice cream!

JoAnn, every April, Ben and Jerry's has a free scoop day when cones are free at all Ben and Jerry's across the country. I once volunteered at a Ben and Jerry's in DC to help out that day. I could barely lift my arm the next day after scooping so much. But, you're right, that is the best kind of ice cream!

Re Kimballs Ice cream in Littleton Mass.When I first went there they served humongus banana splits for 35 cents.Just delicious.We would travel over an hour to get there.Haven't been there in years but I have been told they still serve the largest and best tasting banana split for the money.I am enjoying these posts.Is this amount of posts some kind of a record for replying to a topic?

My wife and are ice cream enthusiasts. When we were in Australia we discovered some shops that sold flavors 2 differnt ways. Regular hard scooped or the same flavor served just slightly softened (not soft from a machine..but kept at a softer consistency) and scooped....really brings out the flavor.
Just curious....am I the only one that has microwaved ice cream at a low power to soften it..instead of letting it sit at room temp for proper consistency?
