What’s an ice cream flavor that is exclusive to your region?

[-]

jerdmerd@reddit

I scrolled so far, but was not disappointed

AuroraLorraine522@reddit

Jeni’s has gooey butter cake in their scoop shops! I’m not sure if it’s seasonal.

[-]

bibliophile222@reddit

I had a maple/pumpkin twist last fall that was absolutely amazing.

Superman ice cream originated in Detroit, Michigan, at Stroh's Ice Cream in the 1920s. A combination of blue moon, cherry, and lemon ice cream it actually predates the Superman character by about a decade, but the blue-red-yellow colors quickly became associated with the hero when he came along and skyrocketed to popularity.

You can pretty much only find the flavor in the Great Lakes region.

(I love Superman ice cream, but I’d often insist on getting just a scoop of blue moon, which as a little little kid I always called “Batman” ice cream. Since it was all blue, just like the Batman’s Bronze Age costume.)

[-]

trish3975@reddit

Holy shit I thought I made up this icecream in my head! My small town grocery store in Utah (of all places) had this when I was a small kid, scooped from big tubs at a counter. That store closed down and I never saw Superman icecream again.

Thanks for validating and unlocking memories :)

I've seen Superman ice cream in Melbourne.

[-]

Human-Ad8198@reddit

In south western Pennsylvania too. I think you still can, tho I haven't looked for it in years.

Blue Moon itself is from Michigan or Wisconsin. It’s a Midwestern original.

Batgirl_III@reddit

The original-original Superman ice cream from Stroh’s use Faygo Red Pop to make strawberry ice cream for the red section. Making it even more Michigander.

[-]

worrymon@reddit

Making it even more Michigander.

I always wonder if the children in the state are Michigoslings.

[-]

realvctmsdntdrnkmlk@reddit

Omg!!! I didn’t know that about the Redpop. That sounds sublime. Boy do I miss Rock n’ Rye, and Redpop. I thought the blue was violette, tho. You could find it in Bad Axe. I also got the Blue Moon as a kid.

I was over the moon to find all of the best Michigan flavors, including Traverse City Cherry in Blowing Rock, NC. I’ll make the 2.5 hour drive once a year for a scoop.

[-]

vegweg25@reddit

For some reason it's a thing in Erie, PA too. It's a rotating flavor at pretty much every local ice cream stand and there's one that has it every day.

[-]

[-]

MeanderFlanders@reddit

What’s the flavor of blue moon?

[-]

Batgirl_III@reddit

No two dairies make quite the same flavor, despite them all calling it blue moon. Most commonly being described as fruity, citrusy, or cotton candy like. Sometimes a hint of almond or vanilla. I’ve always compared it to Froot Loops cereal.

[-]

CreamyImp@reddit

I just tell people it tastes like blue. It’s been my favorite ice cream flavor since I was a kid, blue moon milkshakes are amazing.

I work at a college in VA and the dining hall regularly has Superman!

You’ve lived in Jersey too long if you can describe any flavor of water ice as “pretty good.” 😊

Graeters is some of the best ice cream. Wish it was sold where I live.

MathBookModel@reddit

TIL! I really would have thought coffee ice cream was unique to us

[-]

Rosamada@reddit

Why would you ever have thought that lol, isn't coffee pretty universal?

[-]

MathBookModel@reddit

Because as someone else already replied, people are baffled by the idea of “coffee milk” even though nobody bats an eye at the ice cream flavor (or yogurt for that matter)

[-]

alxfx@reddit

Coffee milk is a strictly-New England thing, so I suppose it isn't a huge leap from there to assuming that the frozen version might also be just a local thing.

But transversely, it always strikes me as odd that people all over the country love coffee ice cream, but balk at the idea of us over here drinking basically just the melted version of it. Lol

[-]

ButImNot_Bitter_@reddit

My first thought was black raspberry too!

[-]

formerprincess@reddit

Black raspberry with chocolate chunks is popular in Southern California

purplepineapple21@reddit

Yup. Its my favorite and I miss it! So much harder to find now that I dont live there anymore

[-]

Commercial_Can4057@reddit

Black raspberry is common in southwest Ohio. It’s one of Graeter’s signature flavors, with BIG chocolate chunks in it.

[-]

I'd add Grape Nut to the list too. Haven't met many people outside of NE who've heard of it as an ice cream flavor

[-]

AuroraLorraine522@reddit

Oh man, I bet that’s good. The secret to my MIL’s perfect chocolate chip cookies is Grape Nut cereal in the dough.

[-]

Top_Pie_8658@reddit

I love grape nut ice cream and it sucks for me that it’s so far away. My SIL did tell me though that it’s apparently a thing in Woodstock, VA of all places but is usually more of a homemade thing rather than at ice cream parlors

[-]

alxfx@reddit

Even up here, it's getting harder and harder to find at ice cream stands & shops. You can still find tubs at the supermarket fairly easily, but it doesn't sell too well anymore at the roadside stops and what not.

I love it too, but I am by far the youngest person I know who does lol. The vast majority of people ordering it when I was a child were over the age of 60 or so, and that was like 20 years ago...

[-]

Potential-Buy3325@reddit

My dad’s favorite ice cream.

[-]

lellenn@reddit

Grape nut? Like the cereal?

[-]

Potential-Buy3325@reddit

“Sweet, custard-like base blended with crunchy Post Grape-Nuts cereal”

More popular in Eastern Mass and New Hampshire than here in Western Massachusetts. I worked in a grocery as a teenager and we bought our ice cream from an Eastern Mass manufacturer, and the frozen food manager would order Grape Nut ice cream for my dad.

[-]

I don't know if it's exclusive to Florida but Orange Dreamsicle originated here. I think most flavors have expanded past their original boundaries, it's a global society.

Virlutris@reddit

Curious, if you’re willing to dish:

What's teaberry like in ice cream?

How's it different from mint peppermint or spearmint or whatever flavor-wise?

[-]

stolenwallethrowaway@reddit

It tastes like medicine! It’s polarizing and mostly old people ordered it when I scooped ice cream as a teen. I developed a taste for it but most stores don’t sell it.

[-]

grumpyhost@reddit

I think teaberry is to strawberry as wintergreen is to mint or cloves are to cinnamon. Sort of a weird smack-your-lips kind of astringent flavor.

[-]

anosmia1974@reddit

Polarizing is right! People really seem to love or hate it—no in-between. I have never tried it. I wouldn’t mind trying it sometime during a visit back to PA, but since I have a wonky sense of taste (due to being born without a sense of smell), I fear I would find it really unappealing!

[-]

Durham1988@reddit

Teaberry is the same flavor as Wintergreen. Like a wintergreen lifesaver.

[-]

Virlutris@reddit

Good comp there, gets me un the right neighborhood :)

[-]

oolongvanilla@reddit

Have you ever had those round, pink wintergreen candies with "Canada" printed on them that often come in peg bags at drugstores? Like these? That's exactly what teaberry tastes like. In ice cream form, the cold, smooth minty flavor is very refreshing.

[-]

Virlutris@reddit

That's a really good description. I can almost taste it.

I think i can see why someone else might think it was medicine-y.

[-]

oolongvanilla@reddit

I hate the Pepto-Bismal description, not because it's completely inaccurate, but because it makes it sound unappealing. They're both pink and wintergreen, but teaberry ice cream is still sweet, not bitter like Pepto. Teaberry's not chalky, either.

[-]

LABELyourPHOTOS@reddit

Teaberries are so much milder. I hate to say it but more like pepto bismol.

[-]

oolongvanilla@reddit

It's much more smooth and mellow. Not sharp or overpowering like other mints can be. Teaberry is the same thing as wintergreen, and that's a key flavoring in a lot of rootbeers, so it's sort of like a mellow rootbeer flavor.

[-]

Virlutris@reddit

That's a nice breakdown, thanks :)

[-]

Everything_Breaks@reddit

It tastes like Pepto-Bismol original flavor

[-]

preygoneesh@reddit

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so! I’m from the west coast, went to PA to visit a friend and on a zoom meeting some East coast coworkers were asking if I went to the Penn state ice cream shop. I said I had a bit of tea berry but it reminded me of Mylanta or Pepto Bismol and even though I do kinda like that flavor it seemed too much for a whole scoop.

I could see two coworkers in hysterics (on mute) in their zoom windows and I was like am I crazy for comparing it to that? It totally does!

[-]

Original-Locksmith58@reddit

I think pepto is delicious though

[-]

preygoneesh@reddit

Same! Maybe they laughed because I said as much haha

[-]

Number-2-Sis@reddit

We have a place near me that sells shoe fly pie ice cream, it's incredible.

meadowlakeschool@reddit

ten-toed-tuba@reddit

Nostalgia for teaberry scented soap from Bath and Bodyworks.

[-]

coykoi314@reddit

My region is known for wild and crazy snow ball flavors, not so much ice cream.

[-]

Which_Loss6887@reddit

Blue Moon. (The original blue moon with the unidentifiable flavor, not the blue cotton candy flavor that often gets passed off for it now.) Not exclusive to where I live now, but to where I grew up in the upper midwest

[-]

Weekly_Guidance_498@reddit

I always thought it tasted like Fruity Pebbles

[-]

Which_Loss6887@reddit

Some people say it tastes that way now, but it didn’t back then, at least not directly. I’ve always hated fruity pebbles with a passion, even as a kid, but I loved blue moon. Popular lore is that the old flavor was mostly castoreum. There is so much disagreement about what the flavor is/was that I suspect it was one of those things that doesn’t activate everyone’s taste buds the same way, kind of like hops or cilantro. The original blue moon flavoring was made by only one company, who supplied it to various Midwestern ice cream makers. Now multiple companies make their own version of the flavor, all of which are a little different. (And all of which are trying too hard, to my palate. It used to be such a mellow, subtle flavor.)

[-]

Anathemautomaton@reddit

Popular lore is that the old flavor was mostly castoreum

Like from beavers?

I know it's used for perfumes, but it seems wild to use it in ice cream.

[-]

Which_Loss6887@reddit

Yes, from beavers. It used to be a pretty common “natural flavoring.” I’m not sure if it is anymore (I’d suspect not). I’ve usually seen it described as like vanilla-ish with a bit of strawberry, which sounds reasonably accurate.

[-]

Icey-Emotion@reddit

Blue Moon is also super popular where I live now. I had never heard of it prior. It's like a small, tiny pocket in the state I am in.

[-]

vegweg25@reddit

Erie?

Reasonable-Form-4320@reddit

It's almond flavored

[-]

Frequent_Cut_1251@reddit

Hudsonville ice cream is from Holland, Michigan and very much a local favorite. I love that it’s being enjoyed across the country!

For a long time the town of Gilroy, CA held an annual garlic festival that included garlic ice cream.

AuroraLorraine522@reddit

My hometown has a leek festival that definitely has leek desserts. Im pretty sure I’ve seen leek ice cream

I have driven through Gilroy but was never tempted to try the ice cream.

How about Rite Aid chocolate malted crunch ice cream? That’s pretty regional and tasty.

[-]

ccagan@reddit

My first drive through Gilroy was the day the shelter in place order was issued to the Bay Area. March, 2020 and the further south I drove from the airport in San Jose the longer the lines got at every drive through.

When I got to Gilroy, things looked normal but the smell was like NOTHING else. Garlic and cherry blossoms. I’ll never forget it.

[-]

Negative-Arachnid-65@reddit

IMO the garlic ice cream is worth it for the novelty but one try is enough.

Rite Aid chocolate malted crunch ice cream?

Thrifty brand! Man I haven't had that in a while.

Tillamook huckleberry ice cream is nothing compared to fresh locally made huckleberry anything though. And it’s pretty stingy with the berries.

They are SOOOO stingy with the berries. I won't buy it because it's just disappointing. I like it from local ice cream places.

Garlic ice cream! Gilroy, California is located about 30 miles south of San Jose and is famous for garlic farming.

You could order some online. Also possible they are in a local candy or soda store.

My grandpa would always find some for me for when I came over as a kid.

Old Bay.

[-]

Virlutris@reddit

That's a mic drop.

But seriously.

I've only visited, but even so this shouldn't be surprising given Maryland's love affair with Old Bay. They somehow keep surprising me.

Is it mixed with vanilla? It's own thing off the assembly line? Or basically a topping, just Old Bay instead of sprinkles?

I have so many more questions. Jow I want some Old Bay-dusted popcorn ...

[-]

hail_to_the_beef@reddit

The concept of Old Bay ice cream is at the best a light hearted joke and at the worst a novelty that nobody really eats.

Our true native desserts are Snowballs (egg custard is the OG flavor) with Marshmallow Fluff, or just a peppermint stick shoved in half a lemon.

[-]

itsatrapp71@reddit

Kings Island when I was a kid was really known for their Blueberry soft serve. That was the thing to get.

They called it Smurf ice cream because it was primarily sold in kiddie land outside the Smurfs ride.

The yellow is often vanilla flavored but the blue is supposed to be Blue Moon and the red is supposed to be another flavor. Overall it generally tastes like Froot Loops to me. Just dyeing vanilla and calling it superman ice cream sounds so disappointing

The one everyone raves about up here is the tri flavor version. Yellow is usually vanilla, I think there are a couple brands that do lemon.

Red is cherry or strawberry (lotta Michiganders will argue that it's specifically Faygo Red Pop soooo... strawberry).

I thought I was in the twilight zone? Thought everyone knew Moosetracks, is it a Midwest thing? Not sure. But Panda Paws is definitely only a Perry’s ice cream thing and Perry’s doesn’t seem to want to expand past WNY sadly! I miss Perry’s Ice Cream so much.

Current-Photo2857@reddit

Same here (curious) actually, I still haven’t tried it…I always miss my window, it’s only available for a few weeks in the spring when the asparagus comes out. According to our local news, it’s “a mellow, nutty savory-sweet flavor at first, with the glow of the almonds and cream coming through.

It’s not until a moment later that the brighter notes of the asparagus, which lean in a savory direction.

It’s a functional sweetness, similar to using green tea in desserts. It’s less sweet than other flavors. But that’s part of the reason why it works.

The asparagus doesn’t add much of a vegetal taste, it leans more savory and earthy in a way that complements the mellow sweetness of the other elements”

Peppermint stick. Seems to be a New England thing. Also frozen custard.

In Vermont they have real Maple 🍁 Creemee (soft serve is called a “creemee” in Vermont…)

[-]

Timoth_e@reddit

I don't think such a thing exists.

For example Butter Pecan is considered a "southern" flavor, but you can find it anywhere

I used to work at an ice cream shop in North Carolina and we definitely had superman ice cream. I'm convinced that this is another one of those things that midwesterners try to claim as unique to them despite being popular everywhere, like the ope thing

[-]

BrainFartTheFirst@reddit

I've seen it here both at grocery stores and at Baskin-Robbins.

[-]

minnick27@reddit

Consistent_Post_2558@reddit

I’ve seen it on odd occasions in Texas, eastern PA and around DC.

However, I have never seen anyone eating it and the flavor always looks virtually untouched.

[-]

PureMitten@reddit

We also have Mackinac Island Fudge which is fudge swirl everywhere else. But I also absolutely prefer Mackinac Island Fudge ice cream to fudge swirl ice cream, despite being pretty sure they're the same thing

[-]

BUBBAH-BAYUTH@reddit

[-]

West-Improvement2449@reddit

We have it in Wisconsin. Blue moon, cherry and vanilla

[-]

Timoth_e@reddit

I've seen that and other Midwestern flavors like blue moon (no, not the beer) at an ice cream shop in California. That's kind of my point. There are flavors that are tied to a certain state or region but availability isn't really exclusive

[-]

Sea-Significance8047@reddit

Skyline Chili Ice Cream . It's surprisingly good if you go in expecting it to be the spices and not actual chili flavor. It has a pumpkin spice adjacent flavor and there are even oyster crackers in it that aren't soggy.

Thrifty from California is bomb ice cream in general, but their chocolate malted crunch is my GOAT ice cream.

BrotherOfWagons@reddit

Blue Moon in the upper Midwest!

The most common description is that it tastes like Froot Loops cereal but with hints of other things. To me it tastes a lot like the canned apricots I ate at school when I was little so there’s some of that in there too. The exact flavor varies between makers and they usually keep the recipe a mystery.

My personal favorite ice cream flavor I’ve ever had is black walnut, which I think is only available in the Ozarks region of Missouri and Arkansas but it might have been more widely available in the past.

Blue Moon ice cream is pretty hard to find outside of mostly the upper Midwest, which is where I grew up. It’s a very distinctive shade of blue, kind of in the neighborhood of Tiffany blue or robin’s egg blue, and it tastes pretty much exactly like the milk left in your bowl after you eat Fruit Loops. Except higher in fat, because it’s ice cream. It. Is. Delicious.

Graeter’s brand had Skyline Chili ice cream. It has their chili spice and poster crackers in it.

If you haven’t had skyline before, it’s more Mediterranean-based in spices and has stuff like cinnamon and allspice in it. I had to get some to see what it was like. The oyster crackers in it are not good. It tasted like an almost cinnamon ice cream but the aftertaste was, oh, yeah, there’s the chili.
