WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
November is drawing to a close and so is this month’s poll. Barring a last minute groundswell of support for chocolate or coconut, it looks like root beer is the fan favorite as the next potential Duetto flavor. Thanks to everyone who weighed in with your opinion this month. If you haven’t voted yet, you’ve still got a few days left to do so.
The next poll will be posted on Monday, December 3. We’re having a little trouble deciding what next month’s poll question will be, so we thought we’d let you decide. After all, through your comments and emails you’ve already given us so many new ideas for blog entries and new ice cream flavors. So think for a little bit and feel free to leave a comment or email Ernie via the link on the right. And remember, no survey question is too goofy or obscure!


If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

WHAT? Only number two? How did the Kiwis get so far ahead? Does anybody know what flavors they eat?
December 17th, 2007 at 10:37 pmTurkey Hill is the best ice cream ever!
December 17th, 2007 at 7:15 pmAfter seeing the Roasted Pumpkin w/warm caramel sauce, I think I gained 5 pounds!
December 17th, 2007 at 4:14 pmLove the flavors1
December 17th, 2007 at 4:09 pmI could go for a special holiday ice cream in honor of the turkey in Turkey Hill: cranberry and stuffing flavored ice cream - a perfect end to a nice turkey dinner- I love Turkey Hill!
December 17th, 2007 at 4:03 pmMy wife & I have tried just about every ice cream there is over the past 50 years and Turkey Hill is the best by far .. Rich & creamy …
December 17th, 2007 at 2:17 pmHow about which ice cream gives you the most vitamins? I suppose it would have to be a fruit flavor, but just the calcium alone in ice cream is a good enough reason to eatit. Well, actually the flavor and the consistency and the yummy additions… they’re all the best reasons to ry a bowl of ice cream goodness!
December 17th, 2007 at 9:25 amhow about butterscotch chown mein cookie or chocolate and peanutbutter chownein cookie flavors

December 14th, 2007 at 6:28 pmchocolate\raspberry ice combo would be a winner in taste
December 14th, 2007 at 4:08 pmwhy do I have to make such a decision? why can’t we have BOTH. they are both in demand obviously. I vote for BOTH and promise to do my part to empty the stores of both flavors
December 14th, 2007 at 1:38 pmfried ice cream is the best Happy holidays to alll!!!!!!!
December 14th, 2007 at 12:05 pmI’ve been making all kinds of ice cream cakes; chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream in the middle, whipped cream on top, sprinkled with mini mint chocolate chips;;;this is a big hit. cherry flavored cake with vanilla ice cream and marachino cherries in the middle, whipped cream on top, sprinkled with marachino cherries……the different types are endless….
December 13th, 2007 at 9:43 pmThis may be somewhat late, but in response to Ms Larson’s queston of what ice cream Santa would like? How about a HOT fudge sundae to ward off the cold.
December 13th, 2007 at 9:02 pmIRIS- Dr. Pepper sounds great!!!
December 3rd, 2007 at 4:36 pmJENNIFER- Thanks for the update on chocolate pretzel, it’s so addictive!!!
How about TH Ice Cream Cakes!!!!! Do you have those out in PA? I bet they’d be a big winner!!! I’d get one for every occasion!! I love how Carvel makes shapes like footballs and Easter Bunny’s, has TH thought about permanently putting out an ice cream cake? I’d love that!! Do your own special pizazz to it, and WOW the ice cream world!!
How about what flavor goes best with what flavor of cake? We always try an interesting combination for birthday parties!
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:55 pmSUE - You work at a chocolate factory?! That’s almost as great as working in an ice cream factory!
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:27 amI would enjoy a Pineapple Cheesecake Yogurt, or perhaps Blueberry Cheesecake Yogurt.
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:03 amMary Frey, I agree with you 100%. How about ALL Coconut ice cream, no crust, no cake, nothing but coconut.
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:43 pmChristina, the Snyder’s Chocolate Pretzel is a permanent flavor in the Light Recipe line and in full strength in the Creamy Commotions line.
December 2nd, 2007 at 8:41 pmI like to mix Dr. Pepper drink–regular–into vanilla ice cream for a Dr. Pepper shake (a thick one). Wonder if it would be possible to have the same taste in ice cream? Thus, not having to beat in the Dr. Pepper.
December 2nd, 2007 at 7:19 pmI really just want to say, Please continue makeing Chocolate Cherry Cordial. I buy it every time I go shopping if I see it. Just a little whipped cream and I have a Sundae.
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:55 pmI love the Snyder’s Chocolate Pretzel, I totally think that should be a permanent flavor, it seems wrong not to be!!
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:24 amHow about remembering your favorite flavor when you were a child?? I still can remember that wonderful strawberry revel(?) that I loved. There was a drug store in town that had an ice cream counter where you could get the best treats-like a cherry fosphate, any flavor ice cream soda or that strawberry revel in a cone. It was rich vanilla ice cream with a thick strawberry concoction running thru it.
December 1st, 2007 at 10:06 pmAnother good poll is which feature flavor from this past year could become a permanent one.
December 1st, 2007 at 1:36 pmFor next months posting, how about having a poll to see how many ice cream lovers would be interested in quarts of ice cream. Having quarts would help out a household where there is only two people and a 1/2 gallon who be too much, or a household where it can’t be decided what flavor they want between two flavors and still want the 1/2 gallon capacity, everyone would be happy.
November 30th, 2007 at 9:31 pmLike the pie idea. One of my favorites this time of year is pumpkin. How about pumpkin ice cream?
November 30th, 2007 at 12:21 pmSchmoes like blueberry pies. See above!
November 30th, 2007 at 9:25 amI think a poll on which “type” of ice cream everyone prefers. Personally, I would like to see a bigger selection of the Low Fat, No Sugar types. Also, I work in a chocolate factory and we’ve started putting alot of “Healthy” things into our chocolate and they are BIG sellers,,,, I”ll bet they would sell big in ice cream too.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:18 pmTalk of pies makes me think of blueberry pie. Think blueberry which would good in ice cream and perhaps red rasberry. Perhaps a poll should be taken to determine which ice cream additive would the most benifical to your health. I would vote for blueberry, good for the brain.
November 29th, 2007 at 10:35 pmnot just a survey of cup vs cone, but what type of cone do you like, and is there a special type of cup/bowl that is prefered?
November 29th, 2007 at 8:47 pmOoooh…. I’m drooling over all the pie-flavor suggestions… Note! There is a pumpkin pie ice cream recipe here on the Turkey Hill site for those interested!
For the next poll: how about “Which Limited Edition flavor is your favorite?” Have we done that one yet? I vote for Baked Apple Dumpling (just bought another box today)!!
November 29th, 2007 at 5:16 pmMan, I loved that Southern Lemon Pie. That was awesome. I wish I had gotten some of the coconut pie. I think coconut would make a good Duetto flavor too.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:18 pmhow ’bout what cake flavor added in, like whoopie pie, i know it’s not a cake but it is chocolate, another poll, let us send you pictures of our favorite bowls, cups etc. that we eat our ice cream out of!!
November 29th, 2007 at 11:59 amLots of great suggestions so far! Keep ‘em coming. We’ll choose one on Monday.
JACQUELINE - We definitely love pie-based ice cream flavors. Earlier this year, our featured flavors included Southern Lemon Pie ice cream and Coconut Cream Pie ice cream. I wonder if we still have some leftovers around here!
November 29th, 2007 at 11:49 amWhat kind of ice cream do you think Santa Claus would like?
November 29th, 2007 at 11:43 amFavorite mix-in item for your ice cream?
November 29th, 2007 at 11:39 amI wanted choco to win but really I find root beer quite interesting an would give it a try !!!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 11:31 amI also like the pie idea, and the idea of us taking a poll on the favorite. Now that didn’t take long at all. Those two should get a gift.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:15 amTHIS HOUSE HOLD VOTES SLAMB BAM, 100% FOR COCONUT ICE CREAM,THAT INCLUDES THE GRANDCILDREN AND THE PUPPIES
November 29th, 2007 at 11:15 amHow about one of the following survey questions:
Cup or Cone?
What type of cone do you prefer?
Ice Cream that’s very hard - right out of the freezer or soft (my mom and I both leave our ice cream on the counter or use the microwave - obviously we go for the soft)
November 29th, 2007 at 10:49 amYay for Root Beer!! The quintessential Lancaster County beverage. As for poll ideas, how about gathering some feature flavor ideas and letting us pick similar to the Duetto poll?
November 29th, 2007 at 10:13 amWow that pie ice cream idea was amazing, I would love some cheesecake flavors too! I can’t wait to see what future flavors evolve.
November 29th, 2007 at 7:25 amAny interest in putting out a line of pie ice creams? Chocolate cream ice cream, pecan pie ice cream, apple pie, pumpkin pie? It seems to me it might sell well around the holidays. That could be a good question for your next poll.
November 29th, 2007 at 7:18 amFor next month’s poll, how about what is your favorite food to have with or in ice cream?
P.S. I have to say that I am very pleased that Root Beer is so far ahead in the poll. I think that would be a great Duet flavor.
