    Shop Rite has had the Eggnog flavor on and off in the last couple months.

    I wish we had Shop Rite around here!

    I took that picture of the Talenti at Winco, if anyone is west coast and has one near. :P

    I'm a big fan of this one. Sadly, at 320 calories per serving, it's probably going to be a rare treat.

    I ate all 10 scoops for dinner in Swensen's. :) I don't need toppings. I just love plain old ice cream. And the occasional sherbet for some tang.

    Just had some of this, and it was amazingly good. No mixins or anything, but the flavor was amazing. Boyfriend brought it home tonight, and it was super soft and fluffy. I restrained myself from licking the bowl. Barely.

    I always lick the bowl. :blush:

    Thanks for the review auddi-- I saw that one when I went to Trader Joe's a couple of weeks ago but I only had room in my cooler for one and I wanted to try the cookie butter.

    You need a bigger cooler! Their pumpkin is also very tasty.

    Next time I might take Mr. Acrylics'-- it's much bigger. I was expecting the cookie butter ice cream to come in a pint and I can fit two pints in mine.

    Still no luck locating the Talenti eggnog. I might try Target this weekend.

    Jeni's better be as good as you have all said. Finding out I could order it online may become a bit scary.

    Just ordered: Brown Butter Almond Brittle, the Thanksgiving collection & another Holiday collection ... won't be telling my husband how much I spent on gelato but I will be happy

    When I first tried it I felt kind of meh about it because it had been built up so much. And I think I said I wouldn't buy it again. And then I ate the rest of that pint, and not too much later I went back for another one. This weekend I got two more. :blush:

    The one I've had is brambleberry crisp, but I got the brown butter almond brittle and salty caramel to try.

    I couldn't choose and had to make sure it was worth the shipping charge (yea justification of spending way too much)

    The ones I got are: brown butter almond brittle, buttercup pumpkin with amaretti cookies, whiskey & pecans, Middlewest whiskey egg nog, sweet corn & black raspberries, rumball, lemon buttermilk tart, cranberry parfait, and Triumph

    ^That reminds me why I wanted to go to Fresh Market. Hopefully it's cheaper to get in store than to order online. Those prices are crazy!

    Yea they are nuts and I won't do it again but figured if I was ordering might as well do it right. I don't think it's much cheaper in the stores but you don't pay $13 shipping either.

    It's 11.99 at Fresh Market. But there's no shipping so there's that.

    Gonna post this in a couple of spots but thought it was relevant here since you guys are talking about Jeni's Brown Butter Ice Cream...

    http://www.tastingtable.com/entry_detail/national/18307/recipes_home/How_to_Make_Brown_Butter_and_Pecan_Ice_Cream.htm

    Also, did I tell you they are opening a Jeni's here in St. Louis? Super excited for that!

    Up tonight: Jeni's Salty Caramel

    Complex flavor isn't really something I require in ice cream but it's nice when it happens-- this one has it. It's a good thing too, because usually I don't like ice cream without mix-ins very much. The flavor has the obvious notes but it also has this interesting burnt flavor. I don't mean that badly, it's a burnt flavor like toasted marshmallow has. Very interesting. I don't think it beats out Talenti's salted caramel flavor, but it's definitely good.
