The individual store chooses which flavors to stock. Superlake had other flavors when I looked yesterday. I moved on the Hagen Das freezer but no vanilla yesterday. Notice how we can be civil when we talk ice cream LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPanda Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 El Torito had a lot of Hollanda flavors this morning. And some really good-looking alternatives: some Italian brand with flavors like Lemon&Strawberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Italian brand has an awesome hazelnut and chocolate combo that is to die for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte39 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I don´t care for those commercial ice creams made from vegetable oil and there are a lot of it in Mexico besides Hollanda. I think the Aurrera brand Walmart handled was vegetable oil also, plus others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be made by Nestle. I like the new Magnum flavor Chocolate Raspberry. Raspberry ice cream with a dark chocolate shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 It is a good thing what we have different tastes-otherwise stores would be sold out. I think Holland brand vanilla is by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnum raspberry chocolate ice cream is not a bar. It's a pint. I looked up the ingredients. It contains dairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 If you are ever in the NW area of Michoacan stop in at Tocumbo, between Cotija de la Paz and Los Reyes. Ice cream capitol of the world. They export tons of ice cream equipment all of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 I really loved Blue Bell when they were here .. they had the most wonder Cherry Vanilla and Pistachio ice cream. They were near the Glorietta on the Carretera in La Floresta. .. think they closed a short time after Blue Bell had major cases of Listeria in many US states, and a few deaths also in 2015 . A Federal court in Tx ordered Blue Bell [ main headquarters was in Texas ] to pay $17.25 million dollar in criminal penalties connected to the Listeria outbreak in 2015 .

CHILLIN Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 I don't know the US brand, but they had a shop in La Floresta. They had a major food poisoning outbreak in Mexico, maybe they closed the shops down. Sorry, Jackie and I posted at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a nice story about a man starting it up and giving franchises to all the town folk. They are one of the biggest Mexican chains. The houses are beautiful but empty except for a particular holiday when they all return....talk about one person making a difference.

I am not sure if all of the La Michoacano stores came from there, possibly though. Arturo who owns the La Michoacano neveria in Joco at the NW corner of the plaza is from Tocumbo, I will ask him. You can't miss the town from the carretera, there is a 10 meter tall ice cream cone statue at the turn into town. Unfortunately the past few weeks have not been kind in the corridor with lots of cartel violence stretching from Cotija de la Paz to Los Reyes. Lots of interesting history in Cotija de la Paz also, IIRC that is the pueblo where Joselito was captured in the Cristera war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I cannot stand the Michoacana icecream... but I love the one that Betty and her son make at Chopsticks.. Her ginger icecrean is delicious.. She makes a creme anglaise with cream and then freezes it.. mm delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I always liked the Costco Kirkland vanilla. Cream was the first ingredient, followed by milk. No vegetable oil like that garbage Holanda. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a chain of ice cream vendors in Canada called Dickie Dees. Those bicycle type carts. Usually driven in the summer by scruffy teenagers. People wondered how they could tolerate a low paying job, but they were actually selling $1,000's per week selling cannabis, l.s.d. etc. Of course the company did not know this.

Has nothing to do with ice cream available here-eh! typically predictable coming from your googling efforts based on your need to change a thread-SNORK! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
