Safeway Select spumoni
If you live in the NE, spumoni ice cream is like no big deal. But the multi-flavored Ital-American froz confection is rare in the south (where the culinaires prefer crap like chess pie) and so it’s news to find a store brand - specifically Safeway Select Spumoni - show up at the ol' smkt. Like peppymint & eggnog, it’s viewed as a holiday flavor, and that’s why it’s showing up now w/ the clock ticking on its lifespan. And while it’s nice to have it, locals can be glad that Central Market sells pints of the far superior Stucchi’s spumoni, year-round.

Let's hear it for wop ice cream! The dago side of me says, the Italians kick everybody's ass when it comes to ice cream. But the coon-ass side of me says, hey, chess pie isn't bad. When you're a po-ass mother and you want to make a pie, you have to use the ingredients you have on hand. Sometimes crappy food can create fond memories. However, most of the time it's just shit.
Chess pie? Yuck!
Give me a Ritz Cracker apple pie anyday over that... with cheddar, of course...
T.G., love the little spoon next to the carton!!
I find that SELECT brand at Tom Thumb is not that great anyway. These days I'm loving BRAUM'S. They have so many flavors, taste great / less filling!
The best store "brand" is Hill Country Fare at HEB.
I still like the white chocolate maple ice cream from Sbux which, incidentally, I got at an HEB.
Back to you ms.ery!
