mint chocolate chip ice cream

white mint's appeal to me is that it's not green, but then that sort-of makes it dependent on green mint then. green mint stands alone, but white mint is such a satisfying deviation from the usual green = mint story. tough one.

It feels so wrong eating white mint chocolate chip ice cream. I have no idea why. I've tried it a handful of times and I always end up dissatisfied. Maybe it's because the white is actually vanilla and the green is more minty? I've never stopped to think about that.

Oh man I love both of these and I really truly cannot decide

the trick here is that mint looks green but tastes white

^I'll need samples

*opens mouth*

:O

hmm

I think I might prefer mint chocolate chip gelato.

Either is better than any other ice cream flavor ever.

stracciatella with an extra scoop of peppermint candy + a little bit of each on the spoon

so much love for the green but at your average grocery store imma probably go for breyers white so i don't know what to do here.

i guess the green encapsulates all the greatness of mint chocolate chip from my youth going up to the baskin robbins but i'm older now and appreciate the white more.

i'm glad i have somewhere to share this. i never thought mint chocolate chip ice cream worked because of the hardness of the chips. i find i end up melting a mouthful of ice cream on my tongue, swallowing the melted ice cream, and then chewing the chips. it's fine, they're chocolate chips, but i do feel like i'm filtering an undesired sediment out of the ice cream, and i do hate the feeling of biting down on ice cream, maybe because of a bit of dental sensitivity. thanks.

^we're here for you, pal

*group hug*

I was going to wait til later to suggest this, but I just need an outlet for it.

Can we talk about white vs green vis-a-vis modern day ice cream/gelato racism in the postcolonial developed world?

I used to dig Breyer's mint chocolate chip when I was a kid, but apparently someone's been fucking around over there, because Breyer's can't even legally call itself ice cream anymore; it's now a "frozen dairy dessert."

Green. Definitely only green.

isn't the green just food colouring?

Don't care, the best, mint chip is my favorite thing IN THE WORLD.

Green is essential.

more like mint chocolate shit ass cream

Would someone please tell crut I'm not speaking to him? Thanks.

I love mint chocolate chip! I just thought this ienjoyhotdogs thread needed an ienjoyhotdogs post.

mint chocolate chip is amazing no matter what the color and I always thought that the green was just food coloring too so who cares?

yeah i hate the green stuff. it's like a shamrock shake. white is more authentic.

White. Green is bullshit food coloring. Might as ell be purple.

Voted for green more for my wife than myself as it's her favorite, especially from Baskin Robbins.

For any Boston peeps on here: the mint chocolate chip at Christina's in Inman Square is a trip. Insane amounts of fresh mint in there, try it!

Christina's is the best ice cream in the country IMO

I do not like chunks of any kind in my ice cream

I do not particularly care for ice cream in general

Double dud

It is really really good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Mint chocolate chip is the best. Chocolate chip coffee ice cream is almost better. Just almost.

best ice cream flavor is green tea

Breyer's got bought out by Unilever which replaced the once-terrific all-natural ice cream (often with just four ingredients - milk, cream, sugar, and flavoring like vanilla) with the chemical concoctions sold now:

Prior to 2006,[2] Breyers was known for producing ice cream with a small number of all-natural ingredients. In recent years, as part of cost-cutting measures since their move from Green Bay, Wisconsin to Unilever's U.S. headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,[3] Unilever has reformulated many of its flavors with nontraditional, additive ingredients, significantly changing the taste and texture of their desserts as a result.[2] Following similar practices by several of their competitors, and to the consternation of many former customers,[2] Breyers' list of ingredients has expanded to include natural food additives such as tara gum[4] and carob bean gum,[5] artificial additives such as maltodextrin and propylene glycol,[6] and common artificially separated and extracted ingredients such as corn syrup, whey, and others.[5][6]

One result of these cost-cutting practices has been that many of Breyer's U.S. products no longer contain enough milk and cream to be considered "ice cream", and are now labeled "Frozen Dairy Dessert",[7] or "Frozen Dessert" in Canada.[8][9]

whaaaaaa

Breyers coffee ice cream used to be my fav. Rip

The green kind, in low budget $1 form, is absolutely the worst-tasting, grossest ice cream on the market. Don't think I've ever had a white one that bad.

i love mint choc chip but maybe even better is peppermint ice cream, with little bits of real peppermint whose mintyness explodes outwards into the vanilla like little peppermint nebulae

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I don't care if it's white, green, purple...

this is my fav ice cream and i dont care what color it is

Yes. I want this flavor ice cream right now.

breyers was always lame, all natural or not

lame? maybe, I suppose, if you're really into the mouth-feel of carrageenan.
