The original Steve's was in Davis Square. Apparently Herrell's is still good (Steve Herrell was the founder, who sold off his first name along with Steve's Ice Cream).
Mmm. We have a Herrell's in Northampton. We also got a Cold Stone recently, but I've never been there, for I am in love with Herrell's. (Although the best ice cream ever is from Bart's, another local ice cream place: Black Tiger. Kahlua ice cream with dark chocolate chunks and, hmm, maybe something else? Must seek out a pint this weekend to refresh my memory.)
Jesse is me w/r/t Raquel and Raq.
PBS was airing a special about ice cream the other night-- maybe it was just my PBS. Did no one else see it?
Dippin' Dots: The Ice Cream of the Future. Or at least, that's what they were saying in 1994, before it became clear that IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO IMPROVE ICE CREAM.
I think there's a vending machine with Dipping Dots at the movie theater. i may have some when I go see the penguin movie on Sunday. To be, like, thematic. Or something.
I don't have a favorite ice cream. Unless it's the one I'm having right now. When I'm having ice cream. Which I am not, at the moment. So, no favorite.
I love Cold Stone Creamery. For a work birthday party we got a Red Velvet ice cream cake -- red velvet cake, cake batter ice cream, yummy frosting and pecans. Very yummy.
They sell Dippin' Dots at Shea Stadium in a cup shaped like a Mets batting helmet.
I've never had a Dippin' Dot, but truthfully, I'm not feeling the lack.
My favorite ice creams come from the City Bakery. Best flavors:
- molasses
- beer & peanut
- salt & pepper (unfortunately this one never made it out of beta)
I like salt & pepper squid. That'd probably make a bad ice cream flavor, though, as squid is too chewy.
Rio, those aren't ice cream flavors. Okay, maybe the molasses.
Has anyone ever had lobster ice cream? I haven't, I have only heard of it. I love lobster. I love ice cream. Together? They appeal less, somehow.
Okay, squid ice cream is the grossest thing ever.
Worse even than toe-jam ice cream.
