I was at Market Basket two weeks ago when I was spying around for something a bit healthier and what do I see but "All Natural" slow churned from Friendly's. Really? slow churned and all natural??
Now for those not lucky enough to grow up with a Friendly's nearby, let me warn you that they make my favorite black raspberry on the planet (though Turkey Hill's Black Raspberry is real nice too). Friendly's BR has always been a very robust textured flavor that also happens to be a very fun shade of purple. There's almost a thickness to the ice cream. I know that's not the best word to use, but it's hard to quantify. It is by no means a bad thickness, in fact, it's what makes their regular black raspberry the best.
Time for the taste test.We dig in and... it's pretty good actually. The flavor is similar, that "thickness" to the ice cream is similar, but overall it does not have that same simplicity of their regular flavor. The straight flavor has a good crisp taste, while this is mildly bogged down by that which makes it low fat. Overall, I still like it though. It may not be perfect, but it's plenty good enough for the low fat crowd!
