Favorite Ice Cream?

Those of you saying ice cream must have a concussion. Frozen custard by a mile. Culver is good, but Ritter's is better!
Fuzzbass said:So... what's the difference between gelato and sorbet?
I think sorbet doesn't contain milk.
Ice cream, gelato, frozen custard, sorbet?
You ask me the difference; choose your sobriquet.
Some are made thinly, others too thickly,
eat yours too fast and your tummy feels sickly.
There's no mention of sherbert - is this treat so hated?
Or shall tapioca pudding today be berated?
Democrats, 'Publicans, Libertarian centrists,
after endulging in these all see their dentists.
I have to lie down now.

Depends on the flavors I guess. I love vanilla frozen custard, but there are so many other Ice Creams that are just as good...
technically traditional ice cream is frozen custard as I am aware. Go read some recipes. So, real ice cream is my vote, not the super batch frozen puffed milk product stuff. 
oh, as for chain ice cream... I dig maggie moos at the moment.

Lowrez is right...partially.
Nomenclature aside, frozen custard is basically any ice cream made "new york" style, which is an ice cream made with a tempered egg mixture. Ice creams made "Philadelphia" style have no egg in them whatsoever, and aren't usually scalded beforehand, and therefore do not qualify to be a frozen custard.
I believe what the thread is addressing though really is the difference between soft serve and regular scooped ice cream.
Oh, and if you need any further clarifications, I can help. I did go to school for an associates degree in pastry, so food is one of my passions.

Yes & no. I don't consider McDonald's soft serve ice cream as custard. To me there is a difference. I can make soft serve ice cream at home in the microwave.
FROZEN CUSTARD?! - ZUH?!
Sounds bloody horrible... now LEMON SORBET on the other hand, I know the stuff,and its better than any ice cream I've ever had!

Well, sometimes a word that brits use to describe one thing means a completely different thing on this side of the pond. I don't think it's the same kind of custard you're thinking of.addylewis said:
That said, i refuse to vote until I get a sample of this thing you say is a match to ice cream.
It takes a heck of a dessert to make me not want Dreyer's Almond Praline. I swear, that must be what frozen angel poop tastes like.
Yes, I know I'm weird.
Another vote for Gelato. I can and will kill for that stuff.
Everything else comes second. But only if it comes from the Tillamook Creamery. Anything else comes third. And the creamery is only a half hour drive away. Neener neener!!
Rock on
