I always ate the parts one by one and saved that one for "dessert". Citrus and chocolate are the sweet world's equivalent to pork and sauerkraut, I think - pleasing in every way. When my nephews were kids and living in Italy they were a pair of insufferable brats, but the fact that they were both fanatics about having lemon and chocolate gelato on the same cone gave me hope for their souls. They have since become very fine men...

I was so happy to see it, especially since I remember that back in the '80s, B&J had a chocolate orange ice cream in their Scoop Shops for a brief moment. I posted below about this, but it's really one of my favorite "chocolate and" combinations. A lot of people I talk to, however, just shudder when I even mention it. Thu May 16 14:06:49 -0700 2002 1565528 0 Stephanie L. 5 1565709 Maybe Pulp Addiction is hard to find, but earlier today I was lucky enough to encounter orange ice cream as a daily special flavor at Custard Beach in Grand Central Terminal.

However, they did have a new flavour "Orange and Cream" which is orange sorbet swirled into vanilla ice cream - sounds like a Creamsicle in a cup!

Leave it to Kraft to take a delicious substance, and make it sweet. Their salad dressings are also disgusting, sugary garbage as well.

But around here good bacon is easier to find than good sausage. As a matter of fact i have'nt had good sausage since I lived down south. I like Carl Ehmer's low sodium/nitrate bacon. Very nice, slightly smoky, and meaty. One of the best bacons on the market. Cook medium, not too soft but not crisp, over very low heat. Cook up some easy over eggs, some vanilla french toast (just add a few drops of vanilla to the egg/milk mix), and add butter, fresh pepper and good maple syrup and you have the best breakfast going. So good I only have it every other week to keep the joy factor high.

Wed May 15 14:21:00 -0700 2002 1565403 0 DavidH 3 1565535 New England.....sigh. I live in SF. However, here are some threads to fried clams in New England, New York and even LA. My favorite is Turks in West Haven, CT (just outside of New Haven). Anytime anyone in my family is within 200 miles we’ll drive down. Why does the New Haven area have such great food? New York is so close to New England, so why is it so hard to find good fried clams there? Below are fried clam joints discussed by chowhounds, followed by the links. Restaurants are more or less in link order. Essex Seafood seems to beat out the better know Clam Box. Big Raves about Bob’s Clam Hut, Lennys, Kream n Kone, Dubee’s and Captain Frosty’s. There are mentions in the links below to mail order fried clams at the Ipswich Shellfish Company, but they didn't work, so I’m reposting below (click on Fresh Catch). Have not tried them, and, since I don’t really cook, it’s unlikely I’d order them. However, next time I’m anywhere near LA I plan to try Sid’s.

That's a mis-spelling, but apparently any attempt to spell the name of this place results in mis-spelling. The sign actually reads "COBIES" with no apostrophe -- rhymes with, uh, "snow bees." The gentleman in charge is popularly called "Cobie", so an apostrophe would seem to be in order -- unless there is in fact another Cobie in the vicinity. The search continues. Fried clams are best north of Boston, but Arnold's in Wellfleet is pretty good. Kelly's Roast Beef on Revere Beach used to serve excellent clams. Still? I would POINTEDLY fail to include Mojo's of Provincetown on my own list. Incidentally, Cobies' [sp.?] char-grilled chicken breasts plus their sweet red pepper relish might be my favorite combination of two distinct flavors. I also recommend the flavor combination of pan-fried scallops and "1000-year-old eggs." To the best of my knowledge, you can't get those at Cobies.

I haven't seen them in a long time, but they were stellar. http://www.candywarehouse.com/fazermints.html Edit: Get the sensation and a silver medal here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfbivZI5KRw Thu Aug 06 17:28:09 -0700 2009 4614710 249664 kattyeyes 1 4619149 coffee ice cream w/hot fudge warm apple pie w/chocolate ice cream chocolate and coconut Polly's Pies used to make a banberry pie (bananas and strawberries) cranberry and turkey Wed Apr 22 13:45:01 -0700 2009 1565235 109905 laliz 1 4620062 Ain't nothin' wrong with Nutella. Bananas and Rum, though...Wow. On the savory side, Shrimp and Ginger. Mixing it up, Beef and Orange. Wed Apr 22 18:55:32 -0700 2009 1565235 95137 mcsheridan 1 4917931 it sounds weird but i LOVE this chocolate called smoke salt. It dark chocolate with a little bit of salt. Delicious! Tue Aug 04 18:01:32 -0700 2009 1565235 1087578 socaljane 2 4923237 Not weird at all -- it's virtually the same combination that makes chocolate covered pretzels taste so good. Thu Aug 06 11:52:31 -0700 2009 4917931 10076 limster 3 4924250 Or chocolate and BACON!!! Thu Aug 06 17:17:53 -0700 2009 4923237 249664 kattyeyes 1 4921637 Blue cheese and honey.... I love this on bread, maybe a sprinkle of Marcona almonds *yummm* Wed Aug 05 21:02:47 -0700 2009 1565235 25247 Veggietales 1 4922302 This is more a fond memory than any guarantee that my 8 year old palate was onto something—but how I loved to go to Baskin-Robbins and get a two-scoop cup with French Vanilla and Daiquiri Ice. I thought it the height of sophisticated combos. Thu Aug 06 07:30:36 -0700 2009 1565235 11106 tatamagouche 2 4924246 Then you grew up. ;) Although I will NEVER outgrow these classics: chocolate and mint peanut butter and chocolate And now, though I haven't tried it yet, but know it rocks: almond butter and chocolate Thu Aug 06 17:17:05 -0700 2009 4922302 249664 kattyeyes 3 4925420 Actually, I like peanut butter and vanilla better than peanut butter and chocolate! But it has to be a good, strong vanilla, it can't be virtual ice milk. I just never did like chocolate ice cream much, even as a kid. Odd, I know. Fri Aug 07 06:33:21 -0700 2009 4924246 11106 tatamagouche 4 4925547 peanut butter and vanilla ice cream is quite tasty! at baskin robbins, i always liked jamocha almond fudge and butter pecan.... Fri Aug 07 07:25:27 -0700 2009 4925420 105717 alkapal 4 4926940 OK, now you're speaking my language. I love chocolate and peanut butter as a candy, but as ice cream, they must be hanging out in the vanilla. As much as I love chocolate, I really don't care for chocolate ice cream or chocolate milkshakes...but chocolate and peanut butter TOPPING over VANILLA, well, that's just the way it should be. Not odd at all. Fri Aug 07 14:46:17 -0700 2009 4925420 249664 kattyeyes 5 4927015 Meanwhile, my SO eats PB & yellow mustard sandwiches. I keep trying them, and I keep not being impressed. Fri Aug 07 15:10:34 -0700 2009 4926940 11106 tatamagouche 6 4927273 I give you credit for trying that more than once. I'm fairly confident that is exactly one more time than I would have given that particular combo! Fri Aug 07 16:56:35 -0700 2009 4927015 249664 kattyeyes 1 4922333 three combos that come to mind: garlic & ginger lime juice and fish sauce stilton and wild chestnut honey Thu Aug 06 07:41:15 -0700 2009 1565235 105717 alkapal 2 4923242 Wow, I saw this great thread, then to my surprise found that it was one I had started SEVEN years ago. So I might as well continue with something I had never heard of seven years ago: Wensleydale cheese with cranberries. It comes with blueberries and apricots too, but the cranberry variety is the best. It's a regular treat at our house over the holidays.

Thu Aug 06 12:14:41 -0700 2009 4923242 105717 alkapal 4 4924368 There's a Stilton with mango that's amazing! Thu Aug 06 17:55:16 -0700 2009 4923320 84750 spazita 4 4924498 7 years, and no one's mentioned gin & tonic? How can this be... or tuna and capers... Thu Aug 06 18:35:41 -0700 2009 4923320 255706 lifespan 1 4927613 Forgive me if somebody posted this already, but- green chiles (any kind) and walnuts. Cream is a bonus, but the two together are alchemy on a plate. The walnuts should be toasted, and the chiles scorched over an open flame. This whole thread makes me drool for the most part.

Thu Aug 13 19:26:52 -0700 2009 4942401 249664 kattyeyes 1 4945614 Chocolate Ice Cream with Carmel Sauce with sea salt and blueberries. Chips with ice cream or the best is fries dipped in a milkshake or frosty. Anything pickled right now the Sweet and Sour is the best. Love Pickled Beets and Eggs and 3 bean salad. Boiled Peanuts and a ice cold glass of diet coke. Scrapple/Bacon/Sausage with syrup. Scrambled eggs with ketchup Fried Mush in Bacon Fat with syrup Potato Chips with carmels sure there is more but can't think. I love caramel right now and anything pickled is really good especially bread and butter pickles or big garlic pickles Oh and White Stilton with blueberrys are good but love the white stilton with mango and ginger is soo good. I can only get it here in PA at Delallo's or online through IGormet Thu Aug 13 23:58:04 -0700 2009 1565235 229297 LEsherick2008 2 4945974 Trader Joes and Costco both carry fruity cheeses, if you have either in your area. TJ's Wensleydale with Cranberries is a holiday staple at our house. Fri Aug 14 06:50:59 -0700 2009 4945614 12829 Bob W 1 4945991 Prosciutto and cantaloupe! Not much of a cantaloupe fan, on its own. But wrap a wedge in that piggy/salty goodness and WOW! Fri Aug 14 06:57:31 -0700 2009 1565235 56780 Monch
