Still, I’m disappointed to rarely see blueberry here.īut wait, there is one definitive NE ice cream here that blew me away… blew other people away after I ate it, but truly surprisingly delicious – garlic ice cream. But moving to W.MA the locally made ice cream is so superbly better, it is impossible to ignore. Except for containers of coffee HaagenDaz, I could pass up the ice cream and had created a yen for the tart frozen yogurt of one local Houston place not a chain. I admit, I had broken my ice cream habit in Houston. Maple is standard fare here and nowhere else I’ve lived. Sorry I personally don’t want nuts and extras added in generally. How can you not mention maple – pure maple, no walnuts. But the local Bart’s containers of maple ice cream compare with any store bought fare. But now I’ve been in W.MA 10 years and Herrell’s beats most places hands-down for quality and flavors, where my standard favorite of theirs has been burnt sugar and butter, and occasional variations on coffees or hazelnuts. When I lived in Maine, the local blueberry was a summer favorite, and one place even served both in soft serve – not the add in syrup, real flavors. Of course, I would not rate B-R great ice cream these days. One of my early jobs was in a Dallas, TX Baskin-Robbins, and after tasting hundreds of flavors, coffee was still favorite.

I grew up in NY and coffee ice cream has been my favorite for 65 years. The most frequently ordered general public flavors were vanilla, chocolate, black raspberry, orange pineapple back then my father’s favorites were maple walnut and frozen pudding! Precious memories. Then I discovered Richardson’s on Route 114 (now sold)! Coffee is a second favorite and mocha chip a third! At 75, I can’t go more than a day without my 1/2 cup mid-evening indulgence (for Vitamin D, of course). MA is my favorite as they seem to be the only ones around that make grapenut ice cream, my absolute favorite. MA and a stint at Brigham’s in Lowell, MA in winter on semester break. I served ice cream there and often visited Sunnyhurst Farms (youth) in Reading, MA (gone), Brown’s on Cape Neddick in York, Maine (gone), The Goldenrod in York Beach, Maine, Kimball’s in Westford. Needless to say, there were more (dropped) scoops into that huge bowl! My uniform was unrecognizable! On my very first day in June, a grade school teacher arrived with 24 students in tow and she ordered 25 ice cream cones with jimmies! What a scene! I was up to my elbows in ice cream, different flavors, topped with jimmies that you rolled the cone in the steel bowl.

hygiene, how to make a proper cone, use of the huge jimmy (stainless steel) bowl. I was required to take their “ice cream clinic” to learn the ropes. NEW While at college during the 1960s, I worked summers at Brigham’s in Harvard Square.
