Is custard one of your weaknesses? |

Most Milwaukeeans love their custard, and in this town, we have no problem finding it at Kopp's, Leon's, Bella's or oodles of other neighborhood custard stands. However, some people are less enthused about the thick, rich frozen treat and prefer the ice cream available at Dairy Queen, 31 Flavors or Cold Stone Creamery.
For the record, custard is similar to ice cream, but includes eggs in addition to cream and sugar. Although Wisconsin is one of the country's Custard capitals, the icy indulgence was actually invented in Coney Island in 1919.
What are your thoughts? Custard or no custard? Sound-off, Milwaukee, and then go out for a cone of something.
Up with custard. Custard is much more satisfying than regular ice cream. If you're going to indulge, might as well go all the way with a big cone of custard.
No thanks, custard. Custard is much higher in fat and just not worth it. Regular ice cream -- whether it's hand-packed or soft serve -- is lighter and tastier and I don't feel as gross after I eat it.

Frozen custard = maybe over-eaten but no over-rated :)

Nuclear-Art...Cold Spoons on 60th & Vliet is fabulous. I have lived in a cave my whole life and only had gelato for the first time 2-3 months ago. Now I can't get enough...and Cold Spoons hits the mark. Give it a try before you say you can't find good gelato here in Mke.

I would have to smugly agree that gelato is my fave. Custard doesn't digest well for me, must be the fat or eggs or whatever....ice cream is good in a sundae or float. But with a cone or a cup...yes, make mine gelato. Hard to find around here though.
