Give Us the Scoop!

Whether it's Graeter's or your local whip, blog about your favorites -- ice cream and otherwise -- right here.

I'll get you started: I wake up dreaming about Girthburgers at Zip's in Mt. Lookout Square. If Frisch's tartar sauce were on my cereal, I wouldn't be upset. I can taste an extra-thick chocolate shake from UDF as I write.

Now you keep it coming. Bring it on, baby!

Aglamesis' ice cream is just ridiculously delicious. I liken it to sucking on a stick of butter and chasing it with a shot of cream. I used to be a Graeter's girl...

I agree, Aglamesis' has much smoother and creamer ice cream, and most of the time you don't have to worry about biting and loosing a whole chocolate bar right in the middle of a lick.

I mean seriously, how can you be so lazy, as to not chop up the chocolate into bite size pieces. Graeter's ice cream would fit into the cone so much better if half a Hershey's bar wasn't sticking out.

Between chocolate and vanilla, I'm a big fruit ice cream fan: strawberry, cherry, and at Penn State we had "Peachy Paterno." :-) If there is cherry pie involved, how can you say no to an extra scoop of vanilla? Chocolate can last a long time around my house.

I totally disagree about the Graeter's ice cream! I always got made fun of by my family whenever we went to Graeter's because the huge chocolate chunks would always end up all over my face. But to me that's the best part, especially when black raspberry ice cream is surrounding the HUGE chunks of delicious chocolate.

Even though we are lucky enough to have a Graeter's near Ohio State's campus, it is still the highlight of trips home to make a visit to Graeter's.

Ok, Just have to educate - Graeter's adds its chocolate to ice cream in liquid form. So it hardens randomly, sometimes in little itty bits, sometimes in lovely large pieces that, as a child, you dreamed of getting in your cone.

No chopping involved, and since every bit of Graeter's is handmade in French Pot style, the Graeter's folk could hardly be called lazy!

I cannot compare to Aglamesis - I grew up in Cinti but never, ever tried it. Now since I live far away, and visit only on occasion, it's hard to justify giving up my time to anything but Graeter's.

Mpls living, but Cinti at heart Anonymou
