Blue Bell ice cream

I truly cannot comprehend how people are so excited for a product that fairly recently killed 3 people. I'll probaby have some again one of these days but I just don't understand the excitement.

Mediocre ice cream

After they stopped selling Blue Bell, I started eating Stone Ridge. I will never go back (except for birthday cake when it eventually returns).

I got some in Dallas last night

I'm looking forward to some Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip.

I'm shocked.

I will be purchasing some Blue Bell. Mo, you could get some Blue Bell vanilla and mix it with your Crown, pour it over ice, sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on top and call it a bourbon milk punch. I've made them with Blue Bell. Good stuff.

Here's a recipe.

1/2 gallon of Bluebell homemade vanilla ice cream or the homemade vanilla brand of your choice
1 cup bourbon of your choice (you can substitute brandy, if you like)
1/2 cup amaretto
grated nutmeg

Allow the ice cream to melt. Use a funnel to transfer it to a gallon plastic container. Add the bourbon and the amaretto. Shake and refrigerate or freeze and defrost, if you want to make it ahead. Serve over ice and sprinkle a wee bit of nutmeg on top.

NOTE: I think it could use a bit more bourbon and I add just a little creme de cocao to it, simply because I like it. It was darn good, as is, though.

why? does he work for Kleinpeter Dairy? Blue Bell delivery guy bang his old lady? his old man?

That's a gross exaggeration, though some of us do grow our own herbs and some vegetables along with having fruit trees.

I suppose a few might have their own chickens, cattle and pigs. I can't recall reading about any slaughtering here, though.

Mo just doesn't like Blue Bell. He may not like people who do like it for all I know. I wouldn't worry about it. He's a good guy otherwise.

Thanks, Gris.

Here's my Blue Bell story, for what it's worth (which is nothing). I don't hate it. I can't get it up here, but I have enjoyed it on occasion when I go back to Louisiana, and many members of my family like it.

It's just one of those things that I don't understand the overt, express love for. The same goes for crown royal. I see constant threads on this board about Blue Bell and crown (confirmation bias, obviously). I consider both to be just OK products, but they seem to have a passionate following. It just irks me, and I lose control (as the other poster said, I start acting like a prick).

In reality, I really don't care otherwise. Everyone can enjoy their Blue Bell (and crown for that matter).
