Great food places smell good. If they do not, walk out. I walked out of Herrell's without ordering. If there had been no other ice cream in Cambridge, I would have ordered, but I'm not a masochist.

Tubby's has had "yellow butter brickle road" on their menu cosistantly for four years. If any one is being a copy cat it's Ben & Jerrys. If you try it you will swear it's made with real butter. I enjoy Tubby's for the homemade hot fudge, butterscotch and all of their toppings, as well as the ice cream. It is a great destination, and is always very clean. I'd stack them up to any one for quality, as well as variety.

Did anybody else notice that Tubby's has an almost identical flavor "yellow butter brickle road" to this new Ben & Jerry's "goodbye yellow brickle road" flavor?

North Street Dairy Cone, Waterville, Maine! We did a tour of New England a year ago and sought out great ice cream. This was definitely on the A list.

@daniell719 and butterface - Kimball's? Really? I think Brigham's is better than Kimball's. (Also, it's definitely not in central Mass! Bedford's still considered metro-Boston....)

@JayFallon - When Steve's closed, they were handing out all their old signs and equipment - I still have the wooden "Junior Mints" sign from their flavors board! Tear.

Yes, we did visit Kimball Farms...and could not believe their HUGE portions! All 50 places just simply couldn't fit in the short article above! For the full list, check out www.roadfooddigest.com and click on The Best New England Ice Cream!

Glad they got in Dr. Mike's in Bethel, CT (there's also another location in Monroe). The chocolate lace is amazing, although I have the worst—or best, depending on how you see it—bomb of a food coma. Definitely stick with a child's serving, as it's more than enough...

I've also got to mention the Creamery in Newtown, CT. Apt name for sure. ;)

You didn't go to Big Daddy's on Rt. 1 in Wells???!!! Great old fashioned ice cream and shakes!

What?!?! Herrell's???

Come on serious eaters! What about Christina's in Inman Sq, or Kimball farms in Central Mass?

Lago's in Rye, NH (next door to Portsmouth) makes some of the meanest ice cream I have ever had. The black raspberry truffle is to DIE for.

You didn't stop for Custard in Falmouth/Yarmouth/Freeport (it's on the border of one of them, technically it's probably in Freeport)? I guess it's not really ice cream, but it certainly blows ice cream out of the running.

I like to cook savoy cabbage very simply: melt some butter in a pot, add chopped cabbage, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until done. Add salt and pepper to taste.

A far more complicated treatment of savoy cabbage can be found in The Greens Cookbook. It's a combination of buckwheat noodles, brown butter, the cabbage, and soft cheese.

Hi Alyssa,

You might try looking on Cook's Thesaurus. They have both pictures and descriptions. You might see your lettuce there or see and recognize the name. There are 3 categories that you might find it in:

Cooking Greens
Cabbages
Salad Greens

Good luck!
