POLL: What entries would you like to see more of on the Ice Cream Journal?

Posted by Turkey Hill Team on January 30th, 2012

We’ve been talking a lot here at the Dairy offices about what entries we’ll be posting on the Ice Cream Journal over the next few months (and beyond). A very smart Turkey Hill intern had a great suggestion: Why don’t we ask you — our readers — what you’d like to see more of on the Ice Cream Journal?

We were a little stunned by the simple yet brilliant nature of the idea. After all, you’re the reason we write the blog and your comments are the best part of it, so why wouldn’t we ask you what stories should be covered more often?

With that question in mind, please take a few seconds to sound off in the poll in the right hand sidebar and offer some expanded input with a comment below. Your feedback will help shape the Ice Cream Journal in 2012 and beyond!

The perfect cone?

For those of you who were less-than-appetized by Monday’s entry about mastic ice cream (mastic = piney fresh tree sap), we offer the photo above of a much more tempting scoop served in an sprinkle-encrusted cone. Unlike Monday’s entry, we don’t have to ask “would
