I may have to get together with my parents and neighbor for a mass order. Our freezer is too small for more than a pint or two, unless we only wanted to freeze ice cream, but I am sorely tempted. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate/chili flavors as they're usually mixed a little too hot for my taste, but the one from <a href="http://dollymamachocolate.com/" rel="nofollow">Dolly Mama chocolates</a> is like a symphony of flavor. The chili slowly emerges, intensifies and fades away from the dark chocolate flavor in a really beautiful and smooth motion. Holy cow, those sound excellent.

Christie has informed me that the new Winter seasonal flavors have some oh-my-god entries. I'm doing my best not to look, but there was mention of Brown Butter Brickle and Dark Chocolate With Peppermint, so I think I'm already screwed. And an expensive loss!

But the Mackenzie Creamery Goat Cheese with Cognac Figs flavor sounds heavenly. I doubt I could talk Jack into incredibly expensive mail order ice cream though. :) Oh, I was hoping that there was a peanut butter related flavor but there is not!

Jacobson Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:01:49 +0000 http://www.deadlyfredly.com/?p=32#comment-82 Alas, ice cream delivery to Florida is nearly prohibitive. But, if we're talking about premium ice cream, I have two other purveyors to share: I did order once from <a href="http://www.ciaobellagelato.com/" rel="nofollow">Ciao Bella</a> for my mom's 60th birthday and paid through the nose only to find out two weeks later that a gourmet grocery store nearby already carried it. Their stuff is definitely worth checking out. If you have Fresh Market, they carry it. I'm nuts for the blood orange sorbet. But my greatest ice cream experience of all time is <a href="http://www.ilgelatodisancrispino.it/index.php?lang=en" rel="nofollow">il Gelato di San Crispino</a> in Rome. We went a few years back during the record heat wave, ate gelato every day, and still managed to lose a few pounds from all the walking and near heat stroke. You simply have not lived until you've had Andalusian honey gelato in front of the Trevi Fountain. Malpighi balsamic vinegar, muscat raisin, etc. Seriously, surf their flavor descriptions at your peril. Perhaps Jeni's is a reason to go to Origins this year?

We're at the midpoint twixt the last Origins and the next, and I have *just* gotten over the withdrawal symptoms of not having any Jeni's for the past six months. Now you got me jonesin' bad, with no budget for getting a fix via overnight express, mang! ;-) Oh, crap.
