Will try the coconut later tonight. I couldn't resist trying the SSC as soon as I got home and it lives up to the hype. Definitely in my top 3-4.

Paying $125 for 5-8 pints of ice cream people buy at Whole Foods seems absurd.
Something about this pricing doesn't sound right - a pine of ice cream at my Whole Foods is 8.99 or 9.99 (can't remember exactly).

Sick deal on Talenti starting tomorrow at Stop and Shop. 2 for $8 and then when you buy $25 worth you get $10 off instantly so 7 pints for $18. If you score some coupons it gets even better. They got Ben and Jerry's 2 for $7 too.

Here is a $1 off coupon for Talenti pints-link Expires 9/30

Unlimited prints. Just printed 20 for myself. Had to sign up for some Rachel Ray magazine site to get the coupon file. Uploaded it to save you guys the trouble.

And yes I will probably buy 20 pints tomorrow haha.

If you use coupons you can do 9 pints for $17 at Stop and Shop.

Where did Ben & Jerry's coffee heathbar crunch go? The new flavors are just no cutting it.

BTW, the Boston area consistently has the best ice cream in the country. Although, I just had the best frozen custard at Abbotts in Yorktown, NY and they will run custom flavor pints for customers at no extra cost.

I think I seen it the other day midas. Have you tried the flavor locator? Should tell you who has it in stock in your area.

Yes. There's a gelato bar where you can buy individual servings or have them fill up a pint or a quart for you.

he's saying that paying $125 for 5-8 pints of ice cream which in quality is the equivalent of ice cream that people can get at whole foods is absurd.
he's not saying people are paying $125 for 5-8 pints of ice cream at whole foods.

I've been wanting to try Talenti for a while now, solely due to this thread. So I finally get to a store that I know carries it, and I see 7 or 8 flavors, BUT THE ****ERS ARE OUT OF SEA SALT CARAMEL!

Sigh, gotta wait a bit more to try what's being touted as the GOAT ice cream here (store-bought).

I tried the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, and it was very good, but not fantastic. On first bite, it had a pleasant taste, but almost needed a bit more flavor. However, that made it easy to keep going, and in fact, hard to stop. So after a while, the flavor was better, and I quite enjoyed it. Not top tier, but very good.

Agree with everyone that the jar, screw-on lid, and labeling are top-notch, and make you feel richer as you eat it.

Came across this article about their origins, seems that it's only been available in most places for a couple years, and their start as a single gelato stand was less than a decade ago. Pretty fast growth and expansion.

http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2012...o-new-flavors/

Also, it appears that they have 19 different flavors available: this thread has a lot more tasty reviewing to do!

http://talentigelato.com/our-products/

Flavors already reviewed itt that I want to try next are SSC, Coconut, and Pistachio. Others that sound great, that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Blood Orange
Black Cherry
Caramel Cookie Crunch
Toasted Almond

I'm in Italy and there's a gelato stand 20 feet from my hotel enterance. Are you all mad?

I'll try to get pics tomorrow. Just busted a tournament and drowned my sorrows in the three flavor (three scoops of each flavor) large bowl of gelato for €3. Wasn't thinking about getting pics, only trying to eat as fast as possible without getting brain freeze.

sf,

So your freezer is like 35 pints of ice cream and 50 boxes of microwave easy fries? Excellent. Please discuss the fries situation, thanks.

Sweet huh? Was hanging on slickdeals one day learning bout coupons and **** and started reading a thread about one of the markets near my house. Anyways fries were on sale for 10 for $10 but if you bought em in multiples of 3 the self check out would knock $2.97 off the total making em $.01 each. Wound up getting like 60 boxes haha.

sf, I want your freezer. If your ice cream-picking ability is any indication of your overall frozen food-picking ability, I may have to give those Easy Fries a shot.
