The Kroger line of stores has a couple of store-brand options for various foods. They have the basic cheap brand, the healthy brand, then the fancy brand – Private Selection.
We are fans of the Private Selection ice cream. Gamma likes the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chunk flavor, and I like the Extreme Fudge Chocolate Moose Tracks.
They had a good deal last week, $2.99 for a carton, so I grabbed a couple normal flavors and then I wanted to fill our the order with a flavor we don’t normally get.
Since the weather was turning warmer, my eye was drawn to the limited-edition peach flavor.
I bought it, and next time I had ice cream I tried it.
Not a fan.
In general, I like peach flavored things. Exhibit A: Snapple Peach Tea. Exhibit B: Peaches themselves
But this ice cream, despite prominently featuring peaches on its packaging, had no peach flavor.
Public service announcement: It is a peach crisp flavor, not peach flavor.
What that means is that it tastes mainly of cinnamon and oatmeal. I suppose the oatmeal is more of a texture. But the main idea of the ice cream seems to be the flavor of the crumb topping.
In fact, they could capitalize on that. Because they could take the same recipe, package it as apple crisp ice cream, and it would work as that too. They’d just have to remove the coloring so it was apple colored rather than peach colored.
It’s not a total loss, though, as Gamma really liked it. So I’ll let him eat the rest of it
