TIP OF THE DAY: Scream For Ice Cream

July 2, 2009 at 6:59 am · Filed under Ice Cream-Sorbet-Yogurt, Tip Of The Day

July is National Ice Cream Month and THE NIBBLE has labored to track down the very best. Perhaps you’d like a scoop of Molasses Tipsycake Ice Cream from LaLoo’s, or a cone of Strawberries, Sour Cream, and Brown Sugar Ice Cream from Dr. Bob’s. The Sweet Corn Ice Cream from Palapa Azul is another unusual winner.

TIP OF THE DAY: Unusual Ice Creams

July 1, 2009 at 6:59 am · Filed under Food Holidays, Ice Cream-Sorbet-Yogurt, Tip Of The Day

Today is Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. Our wine editor is in demand for his beet, lavender and saffron ice creams—and he even makes ice cream from rare black truffle. If you don’t have time to make something special, look in your specialty foods store. One of our favorites, Reed’s Ginger Ice Cream (available at Whole Foods Markets, Trader Joe’s and elsewhere), comes in Original, Green Tea Ginger and Chocolate Ginger—each exquisite. One scoop of each—a dance of ginger ice creams—would make a memorable dessert. You can use them to top regular or chocolate pound cake, and apple pie, too.

PRODUCT: Put A Cheese On The Barbie For Me

July 1, 2009 at 6:57 am · Filed under Cheese-Yogurt-Dairy, Giftable, Kitchenware-Tabletop

Barbecued cheese? Well, in a way, with the Barbeclette from Boska Holland (http://boskaholland.com). This kitchen gadget (or more accurately, BBQ gadget) lets you melt cheese on the barbie, raclette style—hence the name (barbecue + raclette = Barbeclette). Cute, huh?

What do do with barbie-melted cheese?

  • Melted cheese on burgers, franks, chicken, steak, grilled veggies.
  • Melted cheese in a bun or on a baguette for vegetarians.

The Barbeclette is less than $14.00 on Amazon. Simple and fun, bring one as a gift (perhaps with some cheese) the next time you’re invited to a barbecue. You’ll be the hit of the party.

Place a piece of cheese in the Barbeclette and grill, baby, grill.
  • Explore cheese, cheese pairings, and our favorite artisan cheeses in our Cheese Section.
