Their church was a small Lutheran church in rural West Virgina. Every year the church had a festival to raise money for missions.&nbhttp://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=548664Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:44:29 GMTAs I have admitted in other threads on Roadfood, I am a Hot Pepper Freak of the very worst sort.

I only needed one bite to ensure me it just wasn't right.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=546667Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:01:11 GMTYes, those are the more expensive ones. I have never tried it. Perhaps I will splurge for a bottle! I would assume it would have to be on good vanilla ice cream..the one withe vanilla seeds bits in them?

It's an excellent Balsamic and quite thick.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=546369Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:47:07 GMTI have never tried it, but saw a recipe for it with some strawberries, but the balsmaic vinegar had to be reduced. Do you have reduce it too in your recipe, or straight out of the bottle?http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=546366Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:31:22 GMTHave you ever tried a good balsamic vinegar over ice cream?

I do make a cognac infused peach jam for which I have earned a nice rep. for amongst family and friends. They are precious jars as i do not make too many.

In my youth, that chewing that gum was readily available in stores. The ice cream tasted like this gum, only creamier in texture.

I have never had better frozen custard than the custard in Wisconsin. Just read the reviews right here on this web site.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=544717Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:44:17 GMTWow, that's great news about the Abbott's in Westchester (not so great news about it closing for the season today!) I'll definitely be heading up there when it opens in the Spring.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=544715Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:37:54 GMTAn update: This afternoon, I managed to visit the Abbott's franchise near me. Today was the last day of the season before the owner closes for the winter. Drat! It's located in Shrub Oak, NY, which is about 12 miles from me in Northernhttp://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=544695Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:22:10 GMTThanks for the tip. I've never been to Kirke's but i'll soon remedy that.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=543478Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:01:21 GMTI enjoyed both but would pick Abbott's by a nose. Now, if we bring Kopp's into the mix...all bets are off.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=543210Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:15:13 GMTAbbott's wins hands down, in my book, for its superior texture. More voluptuously custard-y. Not that I thought Anderson's was bad, mind you--it was pretty terrific.

I have had the chocolate and vanilla at both Anderson's and Abbott's and would give a slight edge to Rochester.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=543185Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:56:12 GMTFor me, the problem is apples vs. oranges or, in this case, Abbott's chocolate almond vs. Anderson's vanilla. I loved them both, and they're too different to compare.http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/fb.ashx?m=543181Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:38:27 GMTGenerally you cannot go wrong at either place, or at least that is what I have found. You may have an occasion where one is better than the other, but either place provides very good ice cream.
