Weis Markets. My Weis store is remodeling and besides screwing up the location of every single product, they've added more/new stuff. It was an an organic frozen section for some reason.
My local Weis finally had some of the new Talenti flavors but not the Raspberry Cheesecake:(.0 -

Raspberry Cheesecake is one of my favs. Not sure if my Weis sells the new flavors yet, but my Safeway carries Talenti for a bit cheaper (SURPRISE!), and my Safeway has the new flavors, plus they just started carrying Steve's and other nice stuff.0 -

I just wish they had made the chunks a little smaller. That's not normally something I say but they hurt my teeth in this case.0 -

And I find them too sour. They don't taste like the cheesecakes I'm used to... more the Greek yogurt kind I guess. I was disappointed in that flavor
Still don't understand why Shop Rite doesn't carry the Tiramisu one. I'm not going to drive 20 minutes to the closest Giant every time I want some...0 -
Just grabbed my breakfast at work. Saw we (Meijer) reset the ice cream this week. No new Talenti flavors at all even though we took out 2 or 3, but the B&J cores are in!0

The cheesecake bits have a lemony flavor. Though the tartness is probably what I like about it. I haven't tried the Talenti Tiramisu yet. I was about to buy it yesterday but In trying to save for a new tattoo. It's a catch 22 at the moment.0 -

The Talenti cheesecake tasted a lot more like cheesecake to me than the Breyers version, which honestly didn't taste like much of anything to me.0 -
I've never had any cheesecake flavors from Breyer's. I actually haven't had very much from Breyer's besides basic flavors. I do however want to try the Samoas flavor.0

I like the Breyer gelatos (I agree, the raspberry cheesecake didn't really taste like cheesecake but I still liked it). I just don't buy them because they are never on sale. Not overly crazy over the regular ones though... the samoas was kinda disappointing to me.0 -

Oh that's right! Breyer's Gelato! I lied, then. I have had a few of those. I currently have the raspberry cheesecake one in my freezer and it tastes a little...artificial. I've also had the strawberry truffle one (the truffle part was A++) and I've had the triple chocolate which has so far been my favorite.0 -

I almost bought the Caramel Truffle Gelato the other week, but passed to get the Haagen Dazs Ginger Molasses Cookie instead.0 -

I want to get the caramel or cappuccino flavor next. I have a few coupons for Haagen Dazs which expire in June so I don't want to spend them soon, but wait it out and see if I can get a super deal. I haven't had any of the artisan flavors but I sure want to try.0 -
Not a huge cheesecake fan. I mean, I like cheesecake, but on a dessert menu with lots of competing choices, I'll basically never choose cheesecake.
But I enjoy the Talenti Raspberry Cheesecake. It doesn't wow me, but I don't expect it too. I enjoy it though. And definitely the mix-ins have a lemony-tart flavor. I didn't find them too big.0 -

The Ginger Molasses Cookie is good & the Spiced Pecan Turtle is pretty good if you like spicy ice creams. It wasn't overly spicy but had a nice surprise when you would bite into a turtle.
I want to try the Oatmeal Cookie & will probably skip the Banana Rum Jam since I'm not a huge fan of banana ice creams.0 -
So far I'm not super impressed with the new HD. I've tried the Spiced Pecan Turtle, which has been my favorite by far, the Tres Leches and the Chocolate Oat Bar. I don't think I'll get any of them again honestly. The Spiced Pecan Turtle seems like more of a fall flavor so I might be more in the mood for it then.0

That looks really good. I am continualLy disappointed that I can't get Gelato Fiasco here.0

I'm glad to see MFP still hasn't fixed the gigantic picture issue. I have a 32" monitor at home and it is full of the Gelato Fiasco picture.0

It's so good. Or was. Lovely smooth texture. I just finished the last of it and now I'm sad. Haha.
They also had cappuccino gelato, I think I'm going to try that next.
I keep seeing that and not getting it. Does it have a swirl or anything or is it just a flavored base?0 -

I really liked it. The oat streusal was great texture. The blueberries swirl and vanilla gelato were yummy. Maybe not as creamy as I would like but I didn't let it melt before I shoveled it in to go set a new deadlift rep pr.(i hope). Might have to count some exercise calories to try the la loos vanilla snowflake goat milk one tonight too.0 -
Not ice cream related, but I picked up some of these at Target today:
Now I'm not into the whole gluten free thing, though my step-MIL does have celiac's disease, so I do like to try to find things to share at gatherings. But anyhow, I actually got them because they're lemon cookies, and they're soft & chewy. Got them home and immediately tried one. Wow is right. They are really good. Now I want to try all of their other flavors.0 -

Neva mind. Can't read.

I went to Weis this morning and got two 14 oz containers of Baskin Robbins for $5. I chose Pralines and Cream (though I wanted to try it at an actual Baskin Robbins) and my boyfriend got Mint Chocolatr Chip. For one 88g serving, it has 220 calories and is entirely worth it. The caramel ribbon was pretty sweet-- and I liked that. The pralines were AMAZING. I love the crunch from it. I'll probably get it in a double scoop when I try Whattayasay Creme Brûlée.

I picked up a few new things today to try. Haagen Dazs Tiramisu gelato, Gelato Fiasco Maine Blueberry Crisp, and Ben & Jerry's Everything but the . . .
Plus got a few old favorites. Now my freezer is back to not having room for meat and vegetables.0 -

Since Mikaela mentioned that the GF Maine Blueberry has oat streussel, very much like Jeni's Brambleberry Crisp, and you've also had the Jeni's - I will be very curious to hear your comparison of the two!
