Not long ago, Turkey Hill’s “Einstein of Ice Cream,” Ernie Pinckney, was a guest on the Saucy Sisters radio show. The Saucy Sisters – Barbara and Beverly – mainly focus on wine topics, but stray a bit sometimes to include topics like ice cream. Below is a transcript of their conversation with Ernie. Enjoy!
BEVERLY: Many of you have written to ask us, “How in the world did you get so lucky to be a Saucy Sister?” Well, you drink all day and you taste foods from around the world. We think we’re pretty luck girls. But there’s someone else who has the edge on the “Best Job in the World.” He’s Ernie Pinckney, and he’s the official ice cream taster for Turkey Hill ice cream.
Ernie grew up on a dairy farm and he’s been tasting ice cream, well, for a lot of years. And he’s joining us today from Turkey Hill’s headquarters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Hello Ernie!
ERNIE: Hello! How are you?
BEVERLY: We’re just doing great! How are things up there in that beautiful part of Pennsylvania?
ERNIE: It’s actually beautiful today. The sun is shining, the rain has stopped and we’re waiting to get outdoors.
BEVERLY: Well, we won’t hold you up. Earlier in our program, Barbara was talking about tasting ice cream. And she can’t just take a spoonful, she has to eat a whole half gallon.
BARBARA: And there’s something wrong with that?
ERNIE: Sounds good to me!
BEVERLY: How in the world do you taste all that ice cream?
ERNIE: Well, we do very small amounts at a time, using a very small spoon, and we place it on our tongue and swirl it around in our mouth and get that official taste from it.
BARBARA: You know, that sounds very much like wine tasting. Beverly and I conduct wine classes and we have people in our class swirling (the wine) around in their mouths as well. Is it the same kind of thing?
ERNIE: It’s pretty much the same. We’re using the same taste buds, just a little different spots on our tongue, but we’re actually trying to do the same things you would when you taste wine.
BARBARA: And you have a group, right? A tasting panel? How many are in the group and how many ice creams do you judge at one time?
ERNIE: Well, we start out with two or three people developing the initial flavor and then once they get it to the point where they think they can turn it over to the panel, it could b e anywhere from seven to 10 people that would come in and do the tasting of the particular product.
BARBARA: Now are these people from the community? I mean, if I were up there, could I be invited?
ERNIE: Oh, you could be invited. We generally start within our own associates, but from time to time we also go on the outside and make it available for other people to try.
BARBARA: And who is it that actually comes up with the ideas for new flavors?
ERNIE: Well, we have an R&D center. Two people in there who are working with the public. People like yourself who might be writing to say that this is your favorite concoction for ice cream. (They also work) amongst themselves, with our associates and, of course, with vendors who are trying to promote their product for us to use in our product.
BARBARA: You know, I had mentioned that Beverly and I do these wine classes, and there are a group of people that are called “super tasters” that we talk about in our class. You’ve been tasting ice cream for a long time. Are you among those people who really have acute taste buds or is it a learned technique?
ERNIE: It’s learned, but you also have the super tastebuds. You do some actual tastings – not ice cream – but in advance to see if we can pick up the sweets and the sours and the salts and the acids. You need to do that also to look for your strength in tasting. And if you’ve got a good balance, then you can pretty much taste any of the products we would be making.
BARBARA: Beverly used to live in your area, or at least close by in the Philadelphia area, so she knows Turkey Hill ice creams really well. I have not had as much experience with them, but she’s such a smart pants. She thinks she knows everything…(laughs)
ERNIE: She does!
BEVERLY: I do, but we have this wacky food quiz on our show where Barbara and I challenge each other, but unfortunately, Ernie, I am in the hold by four questions, so I might need some of your help here. But why don’t you give us a test here on some ice cream knowledge?
ERNIE: Well, we’ll get a little specific. We make close to 30 million gallons of ice cream a year at Turkey Hill. I’m sure that you’re in the country now, and you should be able to give me the answer to this: How many cows would it take to produce the milk and all the various dairy ingredients that go into making our 30 million gallons of ice cream?
BARBARA: 30 million gallons!
BEVERLY: How many cows? Math was never my…I’ll take a wild guess. 30 million (gallons)? Two thousand!
ERNIE: Okay.
BARBARA: Oh, let me see if I can come closer…
ERNIE: You’re within a bread basket away. We want to get it down to a lunchbox before I say okay.
BARBARA: How ‘bout…500.
ERNIE: Well, we’re going the wrong way. How about almost triple it. Two-and-a-half times what you said. Somewhere in the 1,500 range.
BEVERLY: Oh my goodness. That’s amazing. 1,500.
ERNIE: Sure. And maybe we’ll make it a little bit easier for you. How many servings of ice cream would that be?
BEVERLY: Well, it depends whether it’s for the average person or if it’s Barbara’s servings.
BARBARA: If it’s a half gallon at a time, that makes it 60 million…no wait. The other way.
BEVERLY: You want to divide, Barbara, not multiply. (laughs)
ERNIE: You had it right. 60 million would be right. I was looking more for the official serving size for that.
BEVERLY: Oh my, so a regular serving is four ounces then.
ERNIE: It’s close to 830 million servings.
BARBARA: That’s a whole bunch. As a matter of fact, the cow question…what I love about Turkey Hill is that the cows are right there because it’s farm country.
ERNIE: Yeah, that’s unique. Lancaster County in Pennsylvania is the largest agricultural producing county in the state, and that’s located about 90 miles west of Philadelphia right along the Susquehanna River. Our supplies come from within roughly 40 miles of the plant, so you’re absolutely right. Being where we are is what makes it good.
BEVERLY: Yeah, it is good stuff. Well thank you Ernie for being with us today. We’ve been talking with Ernie Pinckney who is the official ice cream taster for Turkey Hill ice cream. Turkey Hill has over 80 flavors and is available pretty soon throughout the United States. You can find out more about Ernie and Turkey Hill at their website, turkeyhill.com. Thank you Ernie!
ERNIE: Oh, thank you so much and have a great weekend!
BEVERLY: We will! Bye-bye!

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.
that is one tasty ice cream
I always figured ice cream tasting would be like wine tasting
I like the idea of being an ice cream tester …
I would love to be an ice cream taster! I’m on my way now to look for a new flavor of Turkey Hill ice cream to try…
That ice cream cone looks delicious! How do you become an ice cream taster?
So I had always thought that ernie had the best job in the world. But when I envisioned him conducting his ice cream tasting, he was sitting with a bowl full of each flavor on his lap. He certainly was not eating a small amount with a miniscule spoon! I now don’t think I would have the patience to restrain myself from devouring all the ice cream. Since I have never found any turkey hill flavor that I do now like (certainly I have preferences, but none that I would object to having a bowl full of), one spoon would be a terrible tease. Ernie, do you at least get to take the full cartons of these ice creams home with you at night to “rethink” your opinion or “sleep on it?” I would make sure that that was a clause in my contract before taking the job because I simply would not be satisfied with just one spoonful of a taste. But I guess perhaps my palet needs some more refining. Im only in my 3rd decade of life right now
Do you ever need any guest taste testers at Turkey Hill? Or anyone to film a commercial or an advertisement? I would be more than willing to help you out with that! Maybe even a blindfolded flavor tasting contest! That would be a new fun idea for Turkey Hill next national ice cream month. Also, I just learned yesterday that National Dairy Month is June, so really, we should be feasting on ice cream for 2 whole months since ice cream is largely considered in the dairy food group.
ice cream tasting.. the perfect job.
I wish I was on the tasting panel!
ice cream taster — how awesome!
My dream job would be an ice cream taster. I’m unemployed so let me know if you need me.
You can’t stop Ernie, he’s everywhere… what next television, the silver screen!
I’m going to have some Chocolate ice cream here in about an hour, can hardly wait… in fact, I may not!
Interesting conversation. I think ice cream taster would be a good job!
Tasting ice cream- heaven
I don’t think I could be a ice cream taster I enjoy it to much and not sure if I could really pick out a flavor that are exactly what will sell I really think Ernie has a tough job
cute interview!
thanks for sharing
Sign me up.
It is wonderful to have a job you love!
I vote for ice cream over wine anytime!
Great interview. Ernie has the best job ever!
Ice cream tasting sounds like a great job but I wonder, Ernie, if you ever get sick of tasting ice cream. Hard to imagine for most of us but if I had to eat ice cream all the time I might get tired of it. Want to share any weird flavors that were tried and never made it to production?
Why not combine wine with ice cream? I like vanilla ice cream topped with canned cherry pie filling which has been flavored with a touch of port wine.
Ernie, you must have the best job on earth. Although I’d be out shopping for a bigger spoon.
I want that job
I don’t think I would make a very good ice cream taster. I don’t find many flavors that I don’t like!
it is amazing how much time and energy goes in to their ice cream!
Lucky guy! What a fun job!
I dont listen to talk radio much, are these Saucy Sisters the people who Saturday night live immitated with Alex Baldwin and the Christmas Sweaty Balls?
they sound like they are actually fun to listen to and your interview sounds like a hoot too.
It’s all good, Ernie!
Grand Slam is just awesome!
I want to be a taster too!
I love Turkey Hill ice cream and would like to have the job of ice cream tester. The picture makes my mouth water!
Hi Ernie! Awesome ice cream…my favorite is the Mango Green Tea….please send a shipment to Hillsborough NJ Shoprite …they NEVER have it in stock!!
I would love have more of the exotic fruity flavors…maybe incorporate Pomegranate, Agave Nectar, Acacia Berries, etc.
Thank you for having a healthy selection of ice cream!
We love the fact that we are supporting a “local” company too.
Bravo Turkey Hill and Lancaster County!
Here’s a suggestion for a “Christmas Promo” ……. Make a “Peace on Earth” commercial and have Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Buter Cup Ice Cream as the focal point. Eating it slowly truly gives me “Peace On Earth” for a short time.
I would like to be a tester!!!
I would like to be a tester!!
hey i want that job! :0)
Ice cream is just simply the best thing ever!
I was born and raised in Lancester. Always eat Turkey Hill products. When I married we moved to NH and no Turkey Hill products. Now is the last year or so we can finally get Turkey Hill products. My family are I are very pleased! Keep up the good work!
being an ice cream taster…what better job could there be? My kids would love to be kid ice cream tasters, too!
We love to try new Turkey Hill flavors.
As soon as we take the ice cream out of the grocery bag,we pull out the spoons and do our own little taste testing.
I’m leaving for Navy boot camp in 6 weeks. I have to eat lots of ice cream before I leave!!!
The thought of being an ice cream taster is tempting but as they say “be careful what you wish for.”
I Would Definately Not Hesitate To Do The Job You Are Doing! Mmmmmm….Yummmmmy!
Ernie certainly is a busy guy!
Turkey Hill is the absolutely, hands-down, best ice cream. I especially like the Tin-Roof Sundae and Mint Chocolate Chip flavors. However, I am impatiently waiting for Mocha Almond Fudge. Please, please make it.
looks delicious
I SCREAM for ICE CREAM!
(And yours is the best one to scream for!)
I think that the ladies may have been tatsing a little bit of wine before speaking to Ernie. He did a great job inb giving them the ice cream quiz.
I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM
(AND YOURS IS THE BEST ONE TO SCREAM FOR!)
I scream for ICE CREAM
(And your ice cream is worth scream for!)
I SCREAM for Ice Cream and your is the Ice Cream I’m screaming for!
I SCREAM FOR “Turkey Hill’s “ICE CREAM
I grew up in Upstate NY and my dad owned and operated a service station and we lived next door…so I played and grew up in the station…favorite thing to help dad do? I got to sample new ice creams when they came in! He had a reach in cooler that had at least 10 different kinds of a local ice cream and various ice cream novelties..wow, it’s a wonder my cholesterol isn’t high now, for all the wonderful ice cream I ate then(AND NOW TOO, OF COURSE, WITH ALL OF YOUR TURKEY HILL FLAVORS!)
Wish you would come to central NJ for events-Will you please open some TH stores in this area?
Hey Ernie,
How about having a contest where the winner could be an honorary taste tester for a new flavor of Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
I would scream for that!!
Betty
Ernie, you are a great representative for Turkey Hill. I suspect we may be seeing you on Letterman or Leno one of these days. Keep all of those great flavors coming.
of all the ice creams out there,Turkey Hill is the best. Keep up the good work
Turkey Hill is my son’s favorite ice cream. We always have at least two half gallons in the freezer.
soon to be available throughout the US??? Sounds delcious.
The worst part of an ice cream tester’s job would be leaving for the night.
What a wonderful job to have but I don’t think I could do it because I know I wouldn’t be happy with a little spoon-ful at a time. I’d have to taste a lot more than that to give my opinion so I guess it is something you have to learn and like anything else, it takes hard work to become a pro like Ernie.
Very interesting interview and good publicity for Turkey Hill products.
Jacqueline Seewald (busy promoting my own product, namely my new mystery novel
THE DROWNING POOL)
I’d love to be an ice cream tester! I love eating the Turkey Hill ice creams that have passed the taste tests with flying colors, but I think it would be fun to taste all the combinations that never quite made it for whatever reason. I’m betting there are some flavors that while not likely to be mass market favorites might have been uniquely wonderful!
That really is the best job in the world: tasting the world’s best ice cream.
This job might cure me of my ice cream addiction.
Good Morning Turkey Hill Fans,
I should have been a ice cream tester, when I was young and can eat all the ice cream and not gain any weight. Now since I am older and weight more….I better not become a ice cream tester.
I want that job!
I am very well qualified to be an ice cream taster.
I wouldn’t want to a a tester – you only get a little taste! When I eat ice cream it’s by the bowl.
Earnie is one sharp guy.
ice cream taster and wine taster….two perfect jobs!
Jimmies!
I know it would be a tremendous sacrifice for both myself and my family, but I would be willing to travel from Mass to PA in order to taste-test a new Turkey Hill Flavor (at least it wouldn’t be like testing Bertie Botts Jelly Beans!!) So what’s the next flavor? Chardonnay, cool and crisp and lickably refreshing? Or Pinot Noir…with the mesmerizing color of grapes, juicy, sweet, and tantalizing?
what a way to go , the two best tasting things on this planet ICE CREAM and WINE, now if each was made with watermelon, that would be out of this world.
i love ice cream!!
what a great job
my husband grew up on a diary farm &
he became an engineer
i think he missed out
I’m hoping that Turkey Hill will soon decide to make pumpkin ice cream, especially for the fall. There’s nothing better than pumpkin ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate syrup!
i love ice cream!!
what a great job
my husband grew up on a dairy farm &
he became an engineer
i think he missed out
(corrected my spelling)
I read one time that Baskin & Robbins once made a special batch of ketchup flavored ice cream for a particular ketchup freak they knew. Unfortunately, even he did not like the taste and it all went down the drain.
I hope that Turkey Hill special flavors keep coming-I love trying all the new ones!
Ice cream tasting would be fun, but I wouldn’t want to stop after one little taste. Especially if I really liked that particular ice cream, I would want more and more. That could become a dangerous job for the waisline!
)
Ernie-PLEASE COME TO CENTRAL JERSEY!!! I’m an icecreamaholic and would like to have a TH store near my house. I made a special trip to Shoprite yesterday just to get Double Dunker for the Wed. night ice craem journal party at 8:00. Actually,I’m eating some right this minute-couldn’t wait!!!
Yum tasting ice cream !!
That picture makes me want ice cream!
Why isn’t their more banana flavor available? I love banana Ice cream with chips!!
I think that this job would be as fun as the one I have now – teaching!
Thank you and good luck to all!
I bet Ernie never comes home at night complaining of a “rough day at the office” !!!
I agree with everyone – an ice cream taster is a great job but then what do you do on the weekends. Maybe have some more ice cream. The Saucy Sisters certainly strayed far this time – from wine to ice cream. But you can’t go wrong talking about ice cream which is something most people enjoy.
Wow, sounds like a lot of work, I will volunteer to be the taste tester !!!
I am hoping to retire from my present job in about 2 years, maybe I can get Ernie’s job after that
Love your ice cream.
Ernie has the best job in the world, I would think. I do my own taste testing. Every time I buy TH, which is every week, 4 containers sometimes more depending on the new flavors. When I get them home, I take the lids off of all of them, because the ice cream sticks on the lids, and I eat it all off. I then wash the lids and put glad wrap on top, then the lids. I don’t want to waste any of the wonderful TH ice cream. I do use a separate spoon for each flavor and never double dip off the lids just one good swipe is all it takes. LOL.. Linda
I just want to let everyone at Turkey Hill know (they should already!) that they have the BEST Ice Cream on the market. We are SO fortunate here in Connecticut to be able to purchase Turkey Hill. It is our favorite and we will continue to be loyal customers.
Keep up the terrific work!
Wow! 30 million gallons of ice cream a year is a lot.
I am pregnant and each night I look forward to my daily helping of Turkey Hill Choc Peanut Butter!! I so crave it! Thanks!
I love your ice cream! The only thing is I wish you had more varieties of Light and yogurt.
We just had the in-laws over last night for some delicious Turkey Hill ice cream. Pinstripe Brownie Blast and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup!!
We just had the In-Laws over for dessert last night and had some Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Pinstripe Brownie Blast….mmmmmmm!:)
Our family loves Bronx Bomber Sundae! We tried it as loyal Yankees fans and are often buying the last carton in our local supermarket. The commercil is great too.
Turkey Hill is the best ice cream, especially chocolate peanut butter and dutch chocolate
Last year at one of our annul BBQs we bought an ice cream cake from one of you competitors to celebrate 3 members hitting a decade year. It was inscribed “Happy 160″ with their names. This year I finally found the TH cake in my local store with a $3 off coupon on it. I took it to the bakery department to inscribe it with “Happy 163″. You should of seen the look I got until I asked for the 3 names on it. Last year there was some left but this year with TH a few went back for more and more would have if there was more. I never got so many complainants for an ice cream before. Thanks for the quality.
I always have ice cream in the house. My husband and I will stop for ice cream whenever we are out riding on our motorcycles. I love all the googy good stuff in ice cream. This house is an ice cream house.
I didn’t know what heaven tasted like until I tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream!!!! I will never go back to any other brand. You are all geniuses at Turkey Hill!! Thank you.
I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream. It has a nicer feel to it than other ice creams that tend to crystalize right away. My favotie is Vailla because you can dress it up any way you want. I wonder what Ernies’ favorite is. The Siters didn’t ask him that….
When I first met my husband he said “ice cream makes me happy” I had no idea how true that was and that to keep him happy I just have to always have Turkey Hill in the freezer. Thank you for helping me keep a smile on my darling husband face.
How much fun! Wish I would have known about it ahead of time and had the chance to listen live!
what a job. i would love to have ernie’s job. love the peach ice cream. by the way that picture of the ice cream cone reminds me of easter
When I was a freshman in high school, there was a speech class, and my girlfriend and I would listen in, and they would keep repeating; “you scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream”! I’ll never forget that, we thought it was so funny!
I’d take ice cream over wine any day of the week!
Ernie sounds like you did good on the radio. Beverly and Barbara were amazed by the information you gave them. That ice cream cone looks sooooooo good, I’m going to have to take an email break and fix myself some.
Have you ever considered having an ice cream tasting festival?
where can I submit an application?
Such a pleasure trying the new flavors. I love ice cream. I would enjoy being a taster. Thanks TH !
I live in Pennsylvania and have always loved Turkey Hill ice cream. It was the one we always bought and still do.
Turkey hill should have its ice cream on trucks….or does it?
Great idea above with the ice cream tasting festival! I’d also love to see a factory tour offered as well (with free tastings, of course)…
Ernie is a legend! He is to ice cream what Oprah is to daytime t.v. Turkey Hill and Ernie, making history together!
I would love to go on an ice cream tasting tour! haha how fun would that be?! Not to mention delicious!
Dream come true, to be an ice cream tester!
Ernie must have one fantastic palate to pick out the best tasting ice cream on Earth!
I live in PA also and every since I was a little girl Turkey Hill is all we ever ate!! My mom swears on it lol
WEll you’re very lucky Ernie-I’ve been tasting ice cream all my life….just had to pay for it ,not get paid to do it .That has got to be 1 of the worlds best jobs !!
Ernie has a great job. I love Turkey Hill Ice Cream. I have my whole family eating it. So our freezer is always filled with a variety. I even mix some together. You should try Rocky Road mixed with Butter Pecan. That is a real treat. When the sisters stop drinking wine, they should start eating Turkey Hill Ice Cream. That’s what I did when I stopped drinking over ten years ago.
Imagine, tasting ice cream for a living! What a cake job!! Get it?
One of my Turkey Hill servings is the equivalent of 4 Ernie servings
Those rainbow sprinkles reminded me of the ice-cream store of childhood …hand-dipped…Great memory!
Some lucky stiffs have the perfect job.
Wow it must be nice to be you, with a job that you like. Care to swap places.
Rainbow sprinkles on a vanilla ice cream cone…the ultimate comfort food for me since I was a little girl!!!
Hey Ernie,tasting ice cream sounds like fun.But after tasting ice cream for a living,Do you still like to have it for dessert?
Anytime you are looking for a new icecream taster in the Voorhees area near Cherry Hill in South Jersey feel free to contact me. I also like to come up with new flavor creations for icecreams!
Ernie, if you have a stuffy nose, do Turkey Hill tasting operations shut down completely until you are feeling better? If so, I volunteer to fill in for you.
I’m glad i’m in good company with so many other ice cream lovers!
I have to tell you (Ernie) I wouldn’t mind being the tester for the TH ice cream cakes. I bought one for my 82yr. old brother birthday which is this Fri., but now I have to go buy another one, because when I brought it home I had to taste it and I ate a pretty big slice of it. Ernie, they are great. I got a coupon for $3.00 off of another one, which is a big help. I only hope I don’t cut it until Fri.LOL. Linda
Great interview. Those girls got to get out to the Country side a little more. Good representation for Turkey Hill.
Can’t get enough of that Chocolate Marshmallow, it’s the greatest. I forget, does Turkey Hill give tours?
ILL TAKE THAT KIND OF JOB ANYDAY
Ice Cream tasting…the perfect job!
There is a time and a place for both wine and ice cream and tonight I have found them both. Life is good!
How many farms does it take to supply Turkey Hill with 1500 cows for their yearly supply of ice cream? That is a huge undertaking to milk that many cows twice a day! Better yet, how far away do you send your 30 million gallons of ice cream?
hoped we would get more flavors in the Detroit area—no yogurt at all yet!!!!! and it’s almost the end of National Ice Cream month !!!!! Oh my !!!!
Do you need any help?
I’ve been tasting for 65 years and will never be finished.
sweet job I’ll take it.
sweet job I’ll take it
my family love your ice cream so much we keep 6 in our freezer at all times. with 6 kids and 10 grandkids it does not last long at all. its the only kind they will eat.
I think TH should advertise its local sourcing more. It is impressive that all supplies come from within 40 miles of the plant. Buying TH not only supports the local community, but it is “greener” too!
Mmm, taste testing ice cream! What a wonderful job that would be! I run my own taste testing here at home and so far,, none of the TH flavors have failed! lol
I think we have Cheryl beat ~ we keep 4 Turkey Hill Ice Creams in our freezer and there’s only two of us! My favorites being Chocolate Cherry Cordial and Chocolate Marshmallow.
Let us keep those cows busy so Ernie can keep on tasting!
I hope you have enough black rasberries to make some good ice cream. They are so good the local deer are eating them before I have a chance to pick them. Hoping that I get them in your good ice cream.
Tomorrow is my dog’s 10 birthday and we both are celebrating it with any flavor he choses because “He’s the Man” and spoiled rotten!!!! Scooter and I both love every flavor there is at Turkey Hill—-so this will be no problem !!!
Happy Birthday to Scooter and thank you Turkey Hill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TH Double Dunker is the best ice cream I have ever had!! Make it a permanent flavor, PLEASE!!!!
I love ice cream
Turkey Hill really is the best tasting ice cream!
What a great interview. Ernie truly does have the best job in the world. I love Turkey Hill.
Ice cream like a wine tasting? Brilliant
Ice cream taster would be a dream job …but would require a lot of exercise.
I want this job. Great ice cream.
I love this ice cream. It the most popular in our home!
This is our favorite ice cream!
That would be an awesome job…ice cream tester. This is my favorite ice cream.
My Basset Hound, Jersey, would make the best ice-cream taster. He has very discriminating taste. Of course, chocolate would be off limits for him.
I would love to be an ice cream taster!
I now have discovered my dream job: being a Turkey Hill Ice Cream taste tester!
Way to go….Ernie! you have the best and tastest joy in the world!
My kids now want to grow up to be ice cream tasters. Who can blame them.
just right in colors
ice cream taster – maybe my next job!
Hi Ernie, I remember the song “You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice-cream.” And it can only be Turkey Hill icecream. A nice young man at the Shop Rite store where I shop finally ordered Rum Raisin ice-cream. That made me so happy, and my husband says we can’t fit any more ice-cream in the freezer. Ha Ha And, I would love to taste test all of Turkey Hill ice-cream. Yummy
I would love to be an ice cream taster!To be able to taste all the ice cream before any one else. What a thrill.
I think I wouldn’t like to be an ice cream taster. It would make tasting ice cream too, well, business oriented. Would this ice cream appeal to enough of a market to sell the entire production run? Or at least enough of the production run to recoup the costs of it, although break-even isn’t ever the objective, profit is. I’d rather just enjoy ice cream for the sake of it. Yum!
How do they come up with new ice cream flavors
Your ice cream is outstanding
I wonder if any flavors have ever failed??
If the 1/2 gal. size gets any smaller you will need a antique salt spoon to do the tasting
I have a problem….I like Turkey Hill ice cream but my kids don’t….
TH is delicious! I keep at least 5 different flavors in my freezer at all times. When I eat ice cream, I put a scoop of each flavor in one large bowl, and have the treat of a lifetime!!
I love your ice cream cake, got one for my daughter-in-law’s birthday. The icing was marshmellowy and flavorful, not like the “other” cakes with dry tasting icings.
It is a beautiful area around Turkey Hill. No wonder the ice cream is so good. Happy cows.
My day is not complete until I’ve had my bowl of Turkey Hill ice cream.
We have just returned from wintering in Fla. First thing I did was get a gallon of Iced Tea and a half gallon of your ice cream. Still miss the cocoanut ice cream and the iced tea that is relaxing – forget what it was called but it was a good calming brew.
Oh my goodness. if I were an ice cream taster, I would just work through the night!
I would just work through the night if I were an ice cream taster!
