Limited Edition Foods in 2007: Limited Edition Ice Cream
It’s never too late to look back at where you have been, especially when you are trying to map out where you are going. Before we delve into the hot new limited edition trends that are on the way in 2008, let’s take a look back at some of the limited edition ice creams we got to indulge in during 2007.
Of all of the food categories that are covered on this blog, the limited edition ice creams seem to be the most consistently popular. Ice cream is always a treat, and limited edition ice creams seem to fascinate folks of all ages.
We saw some great flavors in 2007, including TastyKake Peanut Butter KandyKake from Turkey Hill, Haagan-Dazs amazing Caramelized Pear and Toasted Pecan, Yarnell’s Pink Promise Berry Sorbet, and of course the Snyder’s of Hanover Chocolate Pretzel flavor that won rave reviews.
We also saw some interesting ideas, like Edy’s limited edition Root Beer flavor from last summer and the Duff’n D’oh-Nuts ice cream that featured chocolate covered doughnuts in beer flavored ice cream. The latter, thankfully, was only available for one day as part of The Simpsons Movie publicity blitz. For a much more palatable version of beer flavored ice cream, check out Doddington’s limited edition version flavored like Newcastle Brown Ale (if you still can).
There were also several sports-themed flavors, such as Funnycide Pride or the football obsessed Eagles and Bengals themed ice creams.
And of course the year would not have been complete without the seasonal classics, like the Peppermint ice cream which apparently makes an excellent cocktail.
I am already looking forward to covering, and enjoying, many more interesting limited edition ice creams in 2008.
