Blue Moon Ice Cream? Tue, 06/28/11 12:11 PM (permalink)
Does any dairy in your neck of the woods produce Blue Moon ice cream? If so, how would you describe the taste? What flavours do you think are included?

    I was about 5 years old the last time I had blue moon ice cream. I don't recall the store we bought it at, somewhere in OH. What I do recall is the "outcome" was very "blue". I remember being very scared. Never had it since but always remember it.

      Almond flavored?
       
      Years ago I entered a contest put out by the Dreyer's/Edy's Ice Cream Company.  It was very clever on their part.
       
      The contest was to invent a new flavor and give it a clever name.
      There were 12 winners of which I was one.
       
      My flavor was called Almond Love.  Say it out loud if you don't get it.  It was an almond based ice cream with bits of chocolate covered marzipan and burnt almonds.
       
      Another of the winners entered a chocolate swirled orange sherbet.  I don't remember it's name.
       
      Soon after the contest was over Dreyer's came out with an almond based ice cream and an orange sherbet with chocolate chips.
       
      What we won was a trip for two up to Oakland, California to their processing plant.  They wined and dined us for 3 days and we all got to make our flavors in their plant.  It was very cool.
       
      I wrote all of that because I read almond flavored on the picture.  I don't think we get Cedar Crest Ice Cream.

        The only Blue Moon ice cream I've ever had was Stroh's at one of their ice cream parlours in Detroit at the Renaissance Center about 35 years ago. I don't think it tasted like almond. I'd say it was fruitier.
         
        I believe it's still made by Stroh's and available throughout much of Michigan and other places near Detroit.

          I just had some Blue Moon Ice Cream yesterday in South Haven Michigan.  I asked my daughter to taste it.  She said it tasted like vanilla but a little different.  It did have a hint of almond.  It would make a great chocolate shake or malt.  It would look kinda funky, but what the heck, we were at a beach-side concession stand.

            The old Lindner ice cream chain in Indianapolis occasionally had Blue Moon ice cream in the 1960s - 70s.
            It was pale blue in color -- barely tinted blue, really. 
            I agree that its flavor was "indeterminate."
            I think it tasted "blue."

              They export to India?
