Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Vanilla is the best selling ice cream flavor in the US. Not only is it popular as a stand-alone flavor, but it goes perfectly with so many other foods: brownies for brownie sundaes, apple pie for apple pie a la mode, root beer for root beer floats, etc. In this month's issue, Real Simple magazine did a taste test of vanillas and picked out their favorites in six categories, thoughtfully including some options for those who don't eat regular, full-fat ice cream:
- Best old-fashioned: Ben & Jerry's Vanilla
- Best organic: Stonyfield Organic Gotta Have Vanilla Ice Cream
- Best gelato: Ciao Bella Vanilla Gelato
- Best low-fat: Breyers Double Churned Light Creamy Vanilla
- Best low-sugar: Breyers Double Churned No Sugar Added Vanilla
- Best nondairy: Whole Soy $ Co. Organic Vanilla Bean
Unfortunately, they didn't list all the brands of ice cream that they taste-tested. It would have been interesting to see what the runners up in each category were, but the list can still be used to stock the fridge with everyone's favorites.

I read an article about how an eel from the North Atlantic contained a substance in the blood that produced the same mouth feel as fat, so they cloned it and are using it in diet ice creams to simulate the milk fat which was removed. I am very leery of cloned food. Look at what happened with trans fats - an artifically created food that is now known to clog arteries and cause heart disease. I used to eat the frosting flowers off of birthday cakes when I was a kid, for goodness sakes - pure Crisco. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fish-Blood-Protein-for-Low-Fat-Ice-Cream-27700.shtml
