    The internet takes me to some strange places. :P Incidentally, was creeping your food diary, what do you think of Talenti's caramel cookie crunch? It's a staple in the frozen aisle at my grocery store, but I've never gotten it. Just how crunchy are we talking, here?

    I'm going to add to this question, because I like this flavor, but mine was gritty. I don't know if that means it melted and refroze at some point, or if that's the way it is.

    Gritty? That makes me want to heave.

    Yeah, it was probably freezer burn.

    Careful looking at my diaries. Recently I've been trying to keep it updated by I will leave off 1 or 2 things and it ends up looking weird. You will also see tons of ice cream, pizza, tacos and bagels. You've been warned.

    The caramel cookie crunch was ok. It definitely could have used bigger chunks of cookie. I would eat it again and probably am tonight. It was much better than the Alphonso Mango I tried last night.

    I'm eyeing some of those Häagen Dazs gelato next. I just have to get rid of some of the 11 pints of stuff in my freezer to make room.

    I didn't love that one. It was good. But I've had better caramel ice creams for less calories.

    Good to know. I'll probably be passing on that one for a good long while, or at least until I exhaust other caramel options.

    (PS: my diary is pretty similar. :P A week without pizza, assorted ethnic foods, chocolate, ice cream, beer, and various restaurants is a wasted week for me. Heck, a day without one of those is too long for me sometimes.)

    Who said they would marry the Talenti caramel apple pie? I agree 100%. I would be a polygamist for the HD caramelized banana chip. I'm glad none of my co-workers walked into the kitchen to talk to me as I was slowly eating them off the spoon.

    What's the word on the Breyer's Gelato? I'm planning on picking up the "tiramasu" tonight, but I don't want to waste precious freezer space on a crappy product.

    Dont waste your money or space
    Interesting. Good to know. I actually saw them yesterday where I shop. They had 4 different flavors. The caramel one looked appealing though. I didn't buy it

    I loved the tiramisu. Haven't tried the others.

    Day 1: hot fudge brownie sundae with Edy's vanilla bean
    Day 2: same
    Day 3: Midnight Truffle blizzard from DQ
    Day 4: Breyer Tiramisu gelato-- awesome-- will buy again. Not as crazy about the ladyfingers but the mascarpone and espresso are both amazing
    Day 5: same-- turns out that either they're wrong about how many servings are in a container or they're wrong about the weight of a serving. *shrug*
    Day 6: hot fudge brownie sundae-- last of the brownies.
    Day 7: Edy's slow churned french silk
    Day 8: same
    Day 9: B&J Salted Caramel Core-- I was hoping this one would be like the caramel side of the Karamel Sutra but I didn't like it as well. I did the core though, it was saltier than the Karamel Sutra. But I don't think I'll get it again. If I want caramel I'll get the other.

    Me. Both of those.... so good! In my top 5 for sure.

    caramel apple pie is probably my new favorite. i just finished off my pint, and despite having 26 other pints of ice cream & gelato in the freezer i want to go buy another one right now. it's that good.

    Day 1: Slow Churned Vanilla+Two chocolate chip cookies (I know I know, slow churned ice cream?! I'll improve the quality soon, but I gotta finish what I got first. tongue )
    Day 2: Store didn't have what I wanted, so it looks like I'm going with Talenti, Tahitian Vanilla Bean+Slow churned Vanilla+2 chocolate chip cookies
    Day 3: Peanut Butter Fudge Milkshake, from cookout.

    Day 4: 3 chocolate chip cookies+ HD stracciatella gelato. Normally I wouldn't eat these things together but it was a weird day, hunger wise.


    Day 5: 1 serving of this. Didn't do my run, so alas my calories are probably going to be too limited for a second serving.
    The struggle is real. (limited calories=1800 or so, btw)

    Day 6: Tahitian Vanilla again. Nomnom. Gotta finish some of these so I can buy more flavors.
    Day 7" Slow churned vanilla and cookies
    Day 8: Tahitian Vanilla and chocolate chip cookies. This did not fit my macros. It was tasty.
    Day 9: Ben and Jerry's Brownie Cheesecake (1 serving)

    Day 1 - Haagen-Dazs Caramelized Banana Chip (10/10). Great flavor & creamy texture. Highly recommend if you like banana!
    Day 2 - Ciao Bella Pumpkin Sea Salted Caramel (8/10). Flavor is spot on, but it has a pumpkin puree like texture I didn't care for. However, very macro friendly! 190 cals - 9f/24c/3p per serving
    Day 3 - Talenti - Toasted Almond (currently consuming). 230 cals - 10f/27c/7/p per serving. Giving this one a 10/10 (I'm biased towards almonds though). Chopped almonds, brown sugar & maple syrup swirl in a sweet cream base. Good mix of salty & sweet. nom nom nom.
    Day4 - Three Twins Butterscotch Pecan - Currently Eating, will edit after consumed. Heavier macros on this one... 230 cals - 15f, 21c/3p. Flavor is really good on this one. Another mix of sweet and salt. However, the texture kinda sucked.... I was expecting it to be much creamier considering the 15g fat per serving. I guess the majority of the fat came from the chopped pecans though. I personally wouldn't waste 60g fat on a whole pint again moving forward. 7.5/10
    Day 5 - Maple's Organics Cardamom Ginger - Great macros on this one... 150 cals - 9f/17c/3p. I had my hesitations about this one, but damn... 10/10! Very refreshing flavor, texture was very creamy! Cant beat that, good macros & good flavor. Highly recommend this one! **Just got to near the bottom and there was a huge candied ginger piece, motherofpearl it was yummy!
    Day 6 - Talenti - Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip - 230 cals - 13/f/25c/4p. Really nice flavor, very creamy. Tastes just like a Dark Chocolate Raspberry candy bar. Raspberry Gelato with Dark chocolate shavings which provide a nice crunch, but melt in your mouth since they're so thin. I would give it a 9.5/10, but this is because I still can't get that damn cardamom ginger out of my mind.
    Day 7 - Talenti - Sicilian Pistachio - 210 cals - 10f/27c/4p. Nice flavor... standard pistachio flavored ice cream base, with chewy pieces of pistachios. Good balance of sweet & salty. I recommend if you have a thing for Pistachios or nut flavored (giggity) ice creams. Stacked up against the Toasted Almond by Talenti, it ranks below it. However, still a solid one overall. 9.5/10.
    Day 8 - B&J Red Velvet Cake - 250 cals - 13f/30c/4p. Big red velvet fan here, so my expectations were rather high. Nice red velvet cake batter base with cream cheese swirl. Also has a good amount of red velvet cake piece thrown in for a chewy texture (highlight feature of this IMO). I thought it was good, but not worth the due to the amount of calories for the pint as a whole. My review could also a bit biased since my expectations were rather high but actual taste and such came in below expectations...8.5/10

    Day 9 - Ciao Bella Brown Sugar Caramel - 230 cals - 11f/28c/4p. Initially I wasn't too impressed with the flavor from the start, but as I got deeper into it... it did grow on my. I'll be honest my expectations were high for this one but something was a bit off about the flavor. I didn't really get any "brown sugar" taste from it... it tasted more like a coffee with caramel or something of the sort...So much so that I checked the label to see if that was in the ingredients. Oddly enough there was a tapioca syrup in it (not sure if that would explain it). Sorry guys... I know yall were hoping this one would be a winner, but I'm docking points for the WTF flavor factor despite it still being flavorful. 8/10.

    I'm the same, I thought I was a huge weirdo.


    Shut up.


    Anyway, I did think it was good for coffee ice cream, I'm just not crazy about that combo of flavors.

    Starting off with a question...I've never had ladyfingers before outside of tiramisu where they are soaked with coffee, Di'saronno and/or Frangelico and therefore, mushy....are ladyfingers supposed to be crunchy? I tried the Haagen Dazs Tiramisu gelato yesterday and though I loved the gelato itself, the crunchy cookie chunks weren't working for me.

    Day 1: Stop&Shop Banana Fudge Chunk super premium ice cream 1 svg
    Day 2: Talenti Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip gelato 1/2 svg
    Day 3: Haagen Dazs Tiramisu gelato and Black Cherry Amaretto gelato 1/2 svg each
    Day 4: Talenti Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip gelato w/a banana 1 svg

    Concluded that Maple's Organics and Jeni's Splendid are too hard to get (driving 60-80 miles one-way or mail order) so I'll have to wait til the next time I am in Boston and gorge myself on delicious then. Very interested in Phin & Phebes now, too.
