Yes, Breyers is here. I've tried their sugarf ree ice cream and found it - at least in the flavor(s) I tried - to be only so-so. I didn't see any full-fat sugar free versions from Bryers, but I'll look again. The ice cream companies are frequently coming up with new products. BTW, I remember Breyers from when I was a kid. In those days it was an east coast ice cream, and pretty well regarded IIRC. Now, like Ben & Jerry's, it's just another one of British-based Unilever's products, and the quality has fallen somewhat even over the past couple of years. Still, I'm not looking for artisan quality - just want to find a half way decent sugar free ice cream. Thanks for jumping in ... I'll be checking the freezer compartment at a local store that carries Breyers and Dreyer's later today or tomorrow. Kind regards, Shel

Hi, Since I mostly cook for one or two, I've looked around for healthy and interesting recipes that fit that need. Here's a site that might be helpful: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/collecti...wo_recipes.html Kind Regards, Shel

Well, sort of. Dreyer's is available here and it's essentially the same product, made by the same people. Edy's is the east coat version. The Dreyer's nutritional analysis looks identical to Edy's - both are low fat. I was hoping to get a "fattier" ice cream. As a paranthetical aside, some fifteen or twenty years ago, maybe more, there used to be an Edy's ice cream parlor in Berkeley and it served Dreyer's ice cream. The place was named after Joe Edy, Bill Dreyer's partner in their ice cream business. Anyway, thanks for jumping in. I'll give the slow churned Dreyer's a taste test. Maybe they serve it at their retail location, which isn't too far from me. Kind regards, Shel

Hi, I'm new to eGullet and this is my first post. I hope I'm posting in the correct forum. I'm looking for a sugar free or low sugar ice cream (but not low fat or non fat) that can be purchased in the San Francisco, CA area. I've checked numerous markets and have not been able to find any that meet the requirement except for some imported ice cream bars at Trader Joe's. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch, Shel

That's pretty much the only fast-food breakfast item I ever get. Sometimes I'll grab one with an egg, but most often straight. Shel
