Yes thats right! In the first ever "cravings" section, we are having a throwdown handicapped match between 3 dessert icons!
In one corner: the classic treat thats been pumped out of factories and machines in diners (diners like the dining spot, not the person dining because that would be gross :] ) alike, topped with almost anything you can think of! I give you ICE CREAMMMMMMMMMMMM! *cue corny entrance music*
In the next corner: Weighing in at delicious and creamy! Being used in gelaties, gelatoes, and anything in between...CUSTARDDDDDDDDDDDD! *more stupid music and some pyrotechnics*
And last but not least in tastiness: The young star that's quickly rising up in cities all over the world...with taste that's not lacking but fat content that is,I give you.... FROZEENNNNNN YOGUUURRTTT!
*confetti and more tunage*
so here you have it: Ice Cream, who could hate on it? The treat thats been used in floats, brownies castles, milkshakes, and almost anything else associated with after-entree dining. Various flavors and volumes, toppings and titles (ben and jerry, we thank you). Ice cream is, without a doubt, a big contender.
Custard, the thicker, denser, creamier brother to ice cream. Out of the two, custard may take the cake (ice cream cake, that is) in my book. It's richer and seems to be more filling and capable of sealing the deal as far as belly-fullness is concerned.
and finally, Frozen Yogurt. Here in orlando, its the newest and biggest craze in snacking and after-meal goodies. With places like Froyos and Minchies, among others, springing up all over the city. Same great taste, but a considerably lower fat and sometimes caloric volume.
So what's your favorite? Why? Leave some feedback and let's talk about it!

Frozen yogurt has been around for years and years, the froyo biz is nothing more than a fad, we should see most of these froyo places begin to diminish within the next 4-5 years. The last big froyo fad occurred in the 80's with froyo places popping up everywhere very similar to today only to implode in the 90's and get taken over by premium ice cream and gourmet coffee. I suspect we will see a similar trend this time around. Although profit margins are a bit higher for frozen yogurt than ice cream it can't be denied that on a hot summer day most would choose a rich and refreshing Ben&Jerry ice cream over a froyo that will melt in 3-seconds.....and that most likely holds true only if the individual is not in range of a Mike's Italian Ice. ;)
