Six Northwest Ice Cream Brands Put To The Taste Test
September 8, 2010 | 1 min to read
Ice cream. Please don't scream just yet.
What makes people crazy about just a frozen concoction of basically milk, cream, eggs, sugar and some fruit or flavoring (and guar gum, carrageenan, soy lecithin — all natural products, by the way — and who knows what, depending on the brand)?
Is Häagen-Dazs better than Ben & Jerry's or even the supermarket's cheaper house brand? Is Häagen-Dazs 5 better than the regular H-D? And what's up with that umlaut, anyhow?
These are pressing questions that I'm sure someone will answer, but at The Herald we decided to concentrate on premium ice cream made in the Northwest and available, more or less, at some grocery store near you. In some cases (Lopez Island Creamery brand), "near you" might mean up to 30 miles away, but it's out there.
