I have a question:  If the flavor is Southern Blackberry Cobbler, why does it taste like "blueberries"?

Either way, Twirl, it sounds heavenly!

Yeah, Blue Bell rocks!  But I'm boring when it comes to ice cream.  I like Homemade Vanilla and plain ole Chocolate.

You haven't lived until you've had Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean...  Actually I may have lived longer if I'd NOT had Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean.

Twirl,
They had that flavor last year when I went searching where to get the banana ice cream you told me about from them. We have blueberry cheesecake ice cream from our local ice cream/dairy. That was sooooo good! ;D :thumbup;

My father gets a pint (I think it's a pint) of vanilla and one of chocolate every week. He eats them both all by himself! I think that's why he has a little fluff around his middle now. We did not have Blue Bell growing up in El Paso, but a few years back they started selling it and I guess he can't resist it.

I love the chocolate. I add a little milk (and Hershey's syrup when I'm really bad) and mix it until it is very smooth. That is my favorite way to eat ice cream. Sadly it wrecks my blood sugar so I try to stay away as much as possible.

I may have to try this cobbler stuff.

I have to remember to get a blackberry milkshake Monday when I come home from docs in the city. Only one area Dairy Queen has the blackberries to use in shakes and sundaes.

I though we'd discussed this before - because we don't have Blue Bell in California - found this on Wikipedia Blue Bell holds impressive sales figures, being the third best-selling ice cream in the United States as of 2004 , behind Breyers and Edy's/Dreyer's, despite being sold in only 17 states.[11] The sales area includes southern states between Arizona and Florida and Kansas City, an area that comprises only 20% of the ice cream sales geographic market.[12 - but I remember seeing some in New Mexico, will have to try it next time I go there.
Reading about their flavors, these ones sounded good! Candy Jar is caramel ice cream with peanut butter cups, chocolate chunks, peanut brittle, chunks of caramel and chocolate crisp pieces. Chocolate Extreme is chocolate ice cream with a thick chocolate fudge swirl, chocolate-coated peanut butter cups, chopped pecans, almonds and walnuts.
