I had a McD cone last night. It is not large, but at the 49 cent price, it is, IMO, a good deal on a better than average product. A once favorite RF place that I used to go to, has started using a cheaper premix, so now I get better ice cream at McD for far less $$$. Last summer the RF place had big lines and a great product. This year they have a very average product at high prices, and no line.

Xannie, I am down the street from Crescent Ridge Farm. Let me know if you want vanilla, chocolate or swirl and I’ll send you a few cones. I’ll send them by email so won’t melt. Fred

I believe McDonalds and DQ both get their premix from the same company, SPC. although they each have proprietary recipes specifically prepared for each chain.
Tastee Freez is pretty good too.
I like the Chick-A-Filet soft serve.

DQ is always good, and as Sundancer says, always the same. They must all have to use the same premix as part of the franchise. I have had the McD product twice in the last 10 days or so, at 2 different stores. It was the same and fairly good (but not up to DQ standards). Before that I had not had McD soft serv in at least 5 years. I hadn’t eaten it untill the KAYLINDA post, because I remember it as being terrible. McD is tough competition. IMO, Roadfood places have to be better if they want to survive.
McDonald’s is inconsistent with their soft serve. Some is creamy and some is icy and grandular.
I personally prefer Dairy Queen. Their soft serve tends to be consistently creamy and tasty.

As I have mentioned in the past, I think that the Hood premium premix is the "gold standard" here in New England. Too bad, but most Roadfood places don’t use it because it is expensive. According to the KAYLINDA post, the McD premix is better than a lot that is out there. I buy most of my soft serv at Scales in Millbury , Ma, where they use the Hood premix exclusivly.
Was it this one? Sounds delicious.
Vanilla Reduced Fat Ice Cream:
Whole milk, sucrose, cream, nonfat milk solids, corn syrup solids, mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, imitation vanilla flavor, carrageenan, cellulose gum, vitamin A palmitate. Contains milk ingredients.
In the ice cream thread, KAYLINDA mentioned that McDonalds uses a good premix. I finally tried a McD cone. The McD cone is better than 1/2 or more of the Roadfood competition. Cheaper too. Too bad.
