Breyer's Fried Ice Cream flavor

[AlliantK]

Did you know that Breyer's makes a flavor called Fried Ice Cream that you can get at the grocery store? Sounds a little scary but I hear it's actually pretty good. http://www.breyers.com/products/produ...

Breyers ice cream is ruined with fillers. They once had a great ice cream, but corporate greed took over once Breyers was bought out. Currently Unilver owns Breyers. Go to this website for more information and interactive forum. http://BreyersSucks.com

Yeah that is scary, but at least all natural breyers is still available in the US. I live in Canada, and breyers went from 'all natural' to 'naturally flavoured' with such wholesome ingredients as modified milk ingredients and polysorbate 80. Oddly enough though, the price did not go down. Don't mind dishing out the big bucks, but not for frankenstein ice cream.

I bought some awhile back. I topped it with frozen white chocolate chips. It was yummy ;)

Are you kidding? All during college all I would crave was the Mexican Fried Ice Cream from Chi-Chi's. I'm not fond of Breyer's though. So, this turns out to be a non-event for me.
Maybe B&J or HD can come up with a fried one of their own.

Screw the ingredient list, that sounds SUPER NUMMY!!

Yah, I don't hate Edy's as much as you, but it's never in my freezer either. That's the point I was making. Turkey Hill is great, Edy's not so much, but it's way better than Breyers (IMO)

You also make a good point about additives. But you can tout yourself as all natural if you want, but you still gotta taste good. And to me Breyers is not creamy enough, and has weak flavors in general.

Getting back to the OP though - I would think you could find a similar flavor that could be doctored a bit if you're really looking for a fried ice cream ice cream.

[rworange]

Yeah, you got a point about Breyers not being very creamy with some weak flavors. It is somewhere between ice milk and ice cream. It is why I usually buy Hagaen Daaz instead unless I'm on a budget or get a sale with a coupon is too much to resist. Like the peach though.

We're all used to the super-premium ice creams with high butterfat content. Maybe that's why Breyer's tastes less rich than you'd like - it's like old-fashioned ice cream parlor ice cream (which I happen to prefer).

[Ace_Mclean]

Could be. For a lot of foods, it's all about what you're used to.

[Ace_Mclean]

Gotta capitalize on popularity fried ice cream I suppose.
I'll be honest though, I can't stand Breyers ice cream of any sort. As far as mass-produced product goes, they don't compare to Turkey Hill or even Edy's - if you can get those in your area.

[rworange]

I don't know about Turkey Hill, but to me Edy's (and it's West Coast equivalent Dryer's) is the worst ice cream on earth. I'd rather have supermarket ice cream or the cheapest drugstore brand. Edy's, even vanilla is chock full of additives and has this gluey mucous type of consisancy. For me that is too bad because Dryers is one of the few mass-produced ice creams that does holiday flavors. Every now and then I get sucked in by the flavors and every time I take a bite and throw it out.

What! this was my idea! So I don't have any records of it, but it was. well, by name only... i certainly wouldn't have picked tostada pieces, but they're the experts right?

[ipsedixit]

Rather than tostada pieces, they should've mixed in bits of churros - it would've been a better pairing.

I can see it now, Ben & Jerry's introduces "Chunks of Churros Ice Cream" ...

[Eat_Nopal]

"Chunks of Churros Ice Cream"

Unfortunately, I think that would push it beyond the latino population. In Mexico... Churros is also slang for defecation... yes, I know, I am sorry if I ruined Churros for you. The good news is that you get over it once you smell freshly fried, cinammon deliciousness.

But the whole chunks of churros paints too graphic an image... at least to me.

[Chowpatty]

Wow, that is one scary ingredient list. Especially since Breyer's Vanilla only has cream, milk, sugar and vanilla.

[JudiAU]

Geez. No kidding. Breyers used to be my standard until they started messing around with gums. (Note the more recent ingredient list.)

[rworange]

Wow, thanks for the heads-up. What is wrong with them? They were affordable and had the same pure ingrediant list as Haagan Daaz. I don't care if tara gum IS natural, they never needed it all these years.

As to the scary product list on the fried flavor, even HD has a scary list when they do add-ins. It is probably the tosadas and stuff that is contributing to that list rather than the ice cream.

[poguywa]

I'm weary of ingredient labels that are not specific and Breyer's does not list Vanilla among its ingredients (for their Natural Vanilla flavored ice cream). The packaging-lid lists "vanilla bean specs" but the ingredient label lists only "natural flavors." It may sound all natural but some companies include MSG as a component of their "natural flavors." In other words, Breyers may contain vanilla or it may contain a combination of other ingredients that taste like vanilla.
