return of the ice cream showdown

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Well, sort of.  I was in the grocery store while talking on the phone to c… (she was sitting at some airport in Texas), and as I reached for the usual Chocolate Chocolate Chip I noticed a new flavor I hadn’t tried before: Pomegranate Chip.  So I asked c… whether it was worth taking a risk on the new flavor.  In her infinite wisdom, she talked me into getting both, although I felt sort of guilty spending that much money on ice cream.

So, here’s the scoop.  Ahem.  As you can see from the picture, I ended up eating them together, which worked out pretty well.  If I were counting calories, though, I think the raspberry sorbet would work too.  I had a bunch of strawberries I needed to use up, so much of the ice cream was eaten with strawberries on top.

If I must declare a winner, then I’ll say that the Choc Choc Chip is still the reigning favorite in my ice cream universe.  But I’ll also say that the Pomegranate is far superior to the sad pint of Stonyfield Farm (After) Dark Chocolate languishing in my freezer.  I feel capable of appreciating frozen yogurt on its own terms, but if it doesn’t seem fair to compare it to the fatty goodness of Haagen Dazs — well then, fine.  I’ll compare it to the TCBY chocolate I had in the airport a few weeks ago.  The TCBY wins.  No contest.

Oh, and thanks to c…
