Overcoming the Blue Bell blues

By David White

Since the Blue Bell recall has become indefinite, ice cream connoisseurs have had to find a second favorite brand or hang up their spoons altogether.

A recent Hays Free Press Facebook poll shed light on the fact that there are plenty of true-moo Blue Bell fans who will accept no other. But if your loyalty to the brand is because it’s Texas-made, have no fear. There are plenty of other Texas-made ice creams to satisfy your southern taste buds. H-E-B’s Creamy Creations topped our unofficial poll, followed by a few enthusiastic votes for Adams Ice Cream. The Hays Free Press staff tried Adams’ vanilla and cookie dough ice cream and gave it a solid thumbs up.
