Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Claire M Date: 10 Aug 12 - 12:23 PM Hiya, The only ice cream I really like is Mini Milk, & then only the vanilla ones. I'm not sure if that counts as ice-cream though; it's basically frozen milk with flavouring. I like certain chocolate, but most I can take or leave. Same with crisps. There are these dairy-free chocolates that are lovely. I had it drummed into me – not literally! -- as a child that if you eat proper meals you won't need either. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 31 Aug 07 - 09:27 PM "okay to eat the fancy stuff if you're a one-pint a week kind of ice cream eater, but don't go calling yourself a real ice cream person. Ice cream is not some kind of special treat! It's a major food group! " I found I was buying the cheap (low-fat) stuff - and eating most of a 4 litre tub at a sitting - so I went back to only buying the most expensive full fat stuff - and found I could only eat a small serving of about 2-3 tablespoons before I was 'full' - it actually works out MUCH cheaper in the long run - and I actually am not putting on extra weight - the 'low-fat' stuff has just as many 'calories' per kg as the 'full fat stuff', but it doesn't trigger the 'satiety centre' as well as the full fat stuff! |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Folkiedave Date: 31 Aug 07 - 12:44 PM Drool Drool..................That sounds just fantastic. I was lucky enough to visit Arran this summer and tried some of their fantastic ice cream - though in truth I spent more time in the Isle of Arran Brewery. http://www.taste-of-arran.co.uk/heroitem.asp?supplierid=2 and if you ever get chance do try it. Clearly not as good as Lynne's home made stuff - but excellent ice cream. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: MBSLynne Date: 31 Aug 07 - 09:51 AM Ok...so I made some clotted cream from milk from the jersey cows I work with. It worked out pretty well and is totally unpateurized. (Much better to my mind) So today I made some of Cats' clotted cream ice cream with it, using maple syrup again instead of sugar or honey. I used two tablespoons by the way. It is absolutely heaven. My son says that in all my years of making ice cream, this is the best. How good is this? Milk that I got from the cows myself, turned into clotted cream by me, the cream in the recipe was also taken from the cows by me and was, in fact, top of the milk, so really cream, and the eggs were from my own hens.....go on, have a good drool!! Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 03 Jul 07 - 05:56 PM I am appalled at this thread! Artisan ice cream! Gourmet ice cream! Hah! You people are either dilettantes or have too much money for your own good! Real ice cream junkies like me, with three-gallon a week habits, eat store-brand ice cream! If I paid, per pint, whatever you people spend for your fancy-shmancy clotted cream delight, I'd be spending more per week for ice cream than for all the rest of my food put together! Sure, it's okay to eat the fancy stuff if you're a one-pint a week kind of ice cream eater, but don't go calling yourself a real ice cream person. Ice cream is not some kind of special treat! It's a major food group! |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: JennyO Date: 03 Jul 07 - 10:44 AM Clotted cream makes me think of the clogged arteries you might get from eating that stuff. Not that I wouldn't like it. Rick Stein's French Odyssey is on here right now. Sometimes I think my arteries clog up from just WATCHING some of the things they are cooking on those shows! |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Becca72 Date: 03 Jul 07 - 10:27 AM Thanks, Surreysinger. It looks alright (sort of reminds me of our cream cheese in a way) but I just can't get past that name! :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: danensis Date: 02 Jul 07 - 03:55 PM We have an ice cream factory at the north end of our garden. Although it was started by an Italian family, they thought there would be some ill feeling about an Italian name, so they now trade under the name of "Smith's Creamland Ices". They've won several awards for ice-cream, and they have a shop on the high street which sells a range of their products. A couple of years ago they tried a "turkish delight" ice-cream, made with rose water. It was like eating perfumed soap - the taste was fine but the scent was very off-putting, John |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Folkiedave Date: 02 Jul 07 - 03:16 PM This from a country that gave us (in Pennsylvania at least) scrapple which for UK readers is the scrapings off the abattoir floor pressed together and served with maple syrup. And chow-chow. Bacon fried to a crisp with maple syrup. Maple syrup with anything. One of my great ambitions - never achieved - is to order breakfast in an American diner without the waiting staff asking me anything. :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 07 - 02:18 PM You Brits have the oddest names for food! Clotted cream sounds like a cow bleeding from her udder. Spotted Dick. Now there's an appealing treat! And, kidney pie. Head cheese. YUK |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Surreysinger Date: 02 Jul 07 - 01:56 PM Becca - clotted cream is a type of cream described by Chambers Dictionary as "famous Devonshire delicacy prepared by scalding milk" .... it's extremely thick, and intensely calorific, and IIRC it keeps a lot longer than most other creams. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: kendall Date: 02 Jul 07 - 12:58 PM MBS Lynn, Baskin & Robbins is a brand of ice cream. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Les from Hull Date: 02 Jul 07 - 12:41 PM I thought I'd provide a link to Burgess Ice Cream who do some of the best ice cream around here - with the exception of myself of course. I quite like making the 'boozy' iceceams but it's a bit of a bugger getting them to freeze! It's sometimes easier to make a good vanilla ice cream (NOT vanilla flavour non-dairy frozen dessert) and then pouring one of those nice icecream flavouring pouring sauces over it. Icecream favouring pouring sauces are sometime known as 'liquers' - my favourites are Creme de Cassis and Kahlua. If you don't have an proper local icecream maker near you, in the UK try Thorntons - the chocolate and toffee shop. The one on Whitefriargate in Hull is actually my corner shop! |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Becca72 Date: 02 Jul 07 - 09:19 AM Surrey, I don't know if I've ever had it...depends on what we call it here in the States...what is 'clotted cream' exactly? PS, sounds like something that happens after a laceration in an ice cream parlor. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Cats at Work Date: 02 Jul 07 - 09:08 AM Try putting walnuts in with the maple syrup clotted cream ice cream... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: MBSLynne Date: 02 Jul 07 - 06:36 AM Maple syrup would be good as a sweetener in it too. You can get an unrefined one and you don't need to use so much. Plus I LOOOOVE the taste of maple syrup. Admitedly can't get local maple syrup but I think I might be willing to overlook that. Maple syrup clotted cream ice cream sounds even better. Between us we will soon have created the ultimate ice cream! Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Surreysinger Date: 02 Jul 07 - 06:32 AM Wrong thread Dave - and I don't intend to start smoking anyway [grins] ... and that honey ice cream is sounding better by the minute (can't stand sweet ice creams myself). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Cats at Work Date: 02 Jul 07 - 06:12 AM Lynne that's why I said honey instead of sugar. Not so sweet. kathy |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Desdemona Date: 01 Jul 07 - 10:36 PM OMG Cats, we are *so* making that clotted cream ice cream this summer, thanks! ~D |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Folkiedave Date: 01 Jul 07 - 07:37 PM you fancy a bit of smirting? I could start smoking for that..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Surreysinger Date: 01 Jul 07 - 04:26 PM Cats - this is doing me no good! Im going to have to try that recipe (and suggested amendments) at some point... and it doesn't look cholesterol friendly either, let alone calory lite? To hell with it - who cares ... I was going to smirk at that point, but in view of the other thread, I'm not quite sure what activity I'd be participating in ..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: MBSLynne Date: 01 Jul 07 - 04:06 PM Sounds good Cats! Not much different from the one I make apart from the clotted cream. I halve the sugar content though and we much prefer it that way. Consequently we find a lot of bought ice-cream too sweet. Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Bat Goddess Date: 01 Jul 07 - 02:25 PM Lately I've been making a point of heading to Lago's Lone Oak on Rte. 1 on the south side of Portsmouth, NH when I'm on my way from work to the Friday session at The Press Room (Then head back down to the beach, south to N. Hampton, turn around and back up to Portsmouth via the coastal route). They make their own ice cream -- through the window you can catch scents similar to the milk house on my grandparents' farm -- and is also the only place around here (one of the few in New England) where you can get a MALT. Their fresh Maine blueberry ce cream is wonderful! (And if I stop making a pig of myself on it, I can try out some of their other flavors.) The best spot for homemade ginger ice cream is Hodgie's down in Amesbury, MA (now that The Mrs. & Me in York, Maine is long gone). I really should try out Cool Cravings just around the corner (so to speak) from me in Nottingham. I love their sign -- Ice Cream Lobster Rolls Hot Dogs Loam & Gravel Uh huh. Curmudgeon is threatening to make ice cream again and I certainly hope he does. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Cats Date: 01 Jul 07 - 02:06 PM Arteries at the ready.. Clotted Cream ice cream 1 vanilla pod ~ split and scrape insides and mix with 6oz caster sugar or 3oz local honey [you may have to gently warm this if it isn't too runny] and 6 free range egg yolks. Mix all together and beat until pale. Heat 10 fl oz single cream [or double if you prefer at a push or for everyday you could use full cream milk] and pour over the egg yolks mixing all the time. Beat well then add 8oz clotted cream and beat really well together. Stir until cooled. Chill until totally cold then make your ice cream as you would normnally either in the feezer or ice cream maker. Whole wild strawberries folded in makes this yummy, smashed up raspberries just turned through it before you freeze makes really adult raspberry ripple. If you want something different to serve with pancakes or apple pie, leave out the vanilla and add cinnamon instead. If you steep the cinnamon sticks in the cream overnight before you make it, then leave them in riht through the whole process and remove them jsut before you fvreeze down it's quite powerful. love Kathy |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: MBSLynne Date: 01 Jul 07 - 11:09 AM Kendall....I don't get it! Cats...Yes please I'd love the recipe. Thanks Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Janie Date: 01 Jul 07 - 09:52 AM For a very brief time each spring, tiny, fragile, incredibly sweet wild strawberries grace a couple of the meadows on our farm. I make freezer strawberry ice cream then. Slurp! Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Janie Date: 01 Jul 07 - 09:48 AM http://www.mapleviewfarm.com/ The dairy is located just a few miles from my house. Yummy, YUMMY, ice cream. I can never decide if the coffee, or the double chocolate is my favorite. But it sure will clog your arteries. Aside from the fact that it is fresh, it has a much higher fat content than mass brands.

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Desdemona Date: 01 Jul 07 - 09:41 AM Oooooh, clotted cream, I can eat it by the spoonful. The scones and jam are mere functionaries in support of its glory! ~D |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Catherine Jayne Date: 01 Jul 07 - 08:56 AM A friend of ours makes her own ice cream...and chocolates, it is gorgeous, very morish and creamy. She never gives out her recipe but we do like going round for dinner. Chocolate is normally my favourite flavour but she make a to die for berry icecream! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Cats Date: 01 Jul 07 - 08:03 AM Lynne I could bring some clotted cream up next festival or I could post you some so you could try making your own. I presume you have free range organic eggs and honey? i'll send you the recipe if you want. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Surreysinger Date: 01 Jul 07 - 07:41 AM Which Traditional Music Day - would that be Stowmarket on 1 September? If so I'm booking my gooseberry ice cream now, and to hell with the diet! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: GUEST Date: 01 Jul 07 - 06:21 AM For visitors the the Traditional Music Day, MEAL sells Ronaldos of Norwich, flavours available seem to vary but I like the goosberry. Whitby is never complete without something from Beacon Farm. Not an aritisan ice cream but Waitrose own brand is excellent.
Thanks. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: kendall Date: 01 Jul 07 - 06:10 AM Becca, I have the same picture. I see my arteries clogging up. Two Robins landed in a field, and found it was loaded with earthworms. They pigged out until they couldn't fly, so they just kicked back and laid there in the sun. Two hawks fly over, and one of them said to the other, "Look, it's my favorite food.. wait for it scroll down BASKING ROBINS |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: JennyO Date: 01 Jul 07 - 06:05 AM At the icecream stand at the National Folk Festival in Canberra, I decided to be a bit adventurous and have something different instead of my favourite, which is plain old vanilla. So I tried Guinness icecream. It wasn't as wonderful as I hoped it would be. I'd rather drink the Guinness. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Folkiedave Date: 30 Jun 07 - 06:45 PM Were I at Sidmouth - which I am not - I could have added my two well- known workshops - "Mad Dog" an interesting combination of raspberry liqueur, vodka and chili sauce, and "Gin and Tonic" an interesting combination of gin, tonic, ice and lemon. easy on the lemon. If pressed I can also do spanish brandy and hot chocolate. Put these together with tea, cinnamon vodka, and ice cream and who gives a damn about the folk music when you are amongst friends.......? Anyone know a good place to plug in my bread making machine....oh hell I feel a thread coming on......... Take the pills...yes doctor.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Surreysinger Date: 30 Jun 07 - 05:32 PM Could I make a suggestion for Sidmouth? A combined cinnamon vodka and icecream workshop ?? (Well, not actually combining the vodka and ice cream , although on second thoughts???) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: MBSLynne Date: 30 Jun 07 - 04:38 PM Yes but he's blaming me because I suggested it on the tea thread! Humph Cats! There was me, top of the tree with my Christmas pud ice cream and you have to go one better with CLOTTED CREAM ice cream!!! S'alright for you living in Cornwall! Funny Becca, the words 'clotted cream' immediately make me drool. The epitome of disgustingly wonderful food. Love Lynne |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Surreysinger Date: 30 Jun 07 - 04:22 PM Clotted cream .... oh yummy! But think of all those calories (drool). Becca - I would hazard a guess that you've never had clotted cream ??? Dave, I think you are probably forgiven, but it WAS you that actually started the thread :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Becca72 Date: 30 Jun 07 - 02:00 PM There is just something about the term "Clotted Cream" which does NOT sound appetizing to me! yeesh. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Folkiedave Date: 30 Jun 07 - 01:42 PM Great Cats, absolutely wonderful.....drool drool..... If only I were not already promised to MBS Lynne...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Cats Date: 30 Jun 07 - 01:05 PM I make my own clotted cream ice cream which, I have to say is pretty damned good, but locally we have Helsett Farm at Lesnewth near Boscastle in North Cornwall. They have their own organic farm, use their own milk, cream, free range eggs and honey. If they can get it the fruits they put in are local and organic if not brought in from really good sources. Amazing. Their rose, cardamon and almond is out of this world, agen prunes with armangac, and local raspberry flavours are magnificent. At christmas they do their own brandy clotted cream ice cream over a christmas pud which is amazing. And they will deliver to your house! What more could you want. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: SINSULL Date: 30 Jun 07 - 12:07 PM I don't care for ice cream - yeah I know. I can also live without chocolate. But one of my favorite childhood memories is of a tiny soda shoppe in Livingston Manor, NY circa 1950 where they served homemade lemon ice cream in lemon soda. I would kill for one of those sodas today. |

Subject: RE: BS: Ice cream thread. From: Desdemona Date: 30 Jun 07 - 11:56 AM While we were staying near my auntie in Henley-in-Arden last year, the blueberry crumble at the local ice cream place nearly brought tears to my eyes...the 16th C building it's housed in is just as good. We have several small dairies near my home in central Massachusetts that make wonderful seasonal flavours with locally grown fruit (I'm especially fond of fruity ice creams; I think it's to do with the hot weather in which I'm inclined to eat it!). Even better, my partner's 14 year old twins are amazing in the kitchen (they even mix cocktails!), and among their passions is making ice cream. This week the've been picking strawberries, which can only end well...once the season advances, we're looking forward to local fresh peaches!!! When done properly, it is really true that home-made variety is the gold standard for yumminess. ~D |
