Make your own sundae bar

So when you're faced with a "make your own sundae" buffet,
What's in your bowl??? :-)

Vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, more hot fudge, yet more hot
fudge. Toasted pecans. Whipped cream. A maraschino cherry.

Friendly's in New England made these "Toasted Pecan Sundaes"
when I was young and they were very hard to resist. They are
also great with coffee, real pistachio or peppermint stick
ice cream.

Well, back in the day, Carvel used to make nice sundaes. You
know, a hot fudge sundae wasn't just vanilla ice cream with
some hot fudge on it, it had more stuff. Anyway, I used to
like something called a Hot Tin Roof? I think that's what it
was called.

Vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, peanuts, whipped cream. I
think this parlor name Farrell's made something similar.

When I was young (relative term, I am only 25), I would
literally put *everything* at the sundae bar into my bowl. I
would then proceed to watch it melt as I was already
stuffed. Sometimes it was piled up so high that when it
melted it would dribble onto the table.

I have not gone to one of those things in a while, but after
my mother taught me not to waste food, I usually had vanilla
ice cream with chocolate sauce, raspberry sauce, and
sprinkles.

I remember Farrell's! Do they still exist? I was never much
of an ice cream person, but if I was with a group of kids,
we'd go to Farrell's and order some huge trough-like thing
and we'd all pig out on the same bowl. Does anyone remember
what that was called?

There was an ice cream parlor chain in NY called Jan's or
Jahn's - they had a similar dish called "The Kitchen Sink".
I don't think they're around any more...

Nancy, your reference to Carvel *really* made me homesick!
We used to have one not far from where I lived when I was on
Long Island and man do I miss it!! I used to love their
strawberry sundaes.

Gawd... I remember having birthday parties there when I was
a kid. It has to be almost 25 years since I went to one.
Maybe I'll include one of the remaining locations in my hoped-
for trip this summer.

"Make your own sundae" seems to be a popular dessert
option at buffets, church suppers, pot lucks, etc. I have
a friend who likes to go to church suppers, because they
are not terribly expensive, you usually get a decent meal,
and you feel like you're donating to a good cause. Not to
mention, you don't have to get dressed up and you don't
have to clean the kitchen afterwards! We've gone to a few
in the past few weeks.

Dessert is typically some sort of buffet, usually "make
your own sundaes".

They hand out bowls of ice cream (sometimes soft serve,
but usually it's regular hard ice cream from those giant
tubs), either chocolate or

vanilla,

and have an assortment of toppings to choose from. Nuts, a
variety of crushed candies and cookies, different sauces,
which you can help yourself to. And of course, there's
always someone with a spray can of whipped

My friend likes a bit of everything with her chocolate ice
cream, topped with a big glob of whipped cream. It's a big
mess but she enjoys it!

Me? I always take vanilla. Might add a drizzle of caramel
sauce. Will definitely add lots of nuts. Maybe some
crushed candy, especially if there are peanut butter cups
or Butterfingers. Maybe a cherry or two. No

Well, at Cold Stone, where you choose the flavor of ice
cream and then choose add-ins or toppings, I used to get the
coffee ice cream, which I accompanied with heath bar
(crushed), roasted almonds, and praline pecans. Yum! Another
favorite is the cheesecake or vanilla flavor with a variety
of berries. Raspberries, Blackberries, and Strawberries. For
vanilla ice cream...spanish peanuts and hot fudge!

I watched three of my 9th grade classmates (boys)consume an
entire Kitchen Sink at Jahn's in 1966. I remember it to this
day because Stanley, one of the boys, ended up in the
hospital after he sent his stomach ulcer into overdrive!

Hard vanilla icecream with GOBS of partially thawed frozen
sugared raspberries, chopped toasted & salted pecans & real
whipped cream.

Lynn in Fargo Never trust a skinny cook!

Sundae bar sounds pretty good.

I bought a "Dove Bar" once. Imagine my surprise when it was
made with ice cream inside instead of dove.

I wasn't brave enough to try an "Eskimo Pie."

Funny you should ask! I was just looking it up after I saw
on Food Network that there was a Farrell's here in Sandy
Eggo...imagine my surprise! I hadn't thought of that place
since I was a kid. It was a birthday party fave back then.
They have the Pig's Trough, which is basically a double
banana split. Then there's the Tin Roof, which is what Nancy
described....hot fudge, peanuts, whipped cream, cherry on
top.The Gibson Girl, vanilla ice cream with butterscotch
topping and cherry nectar, topped with whipped cream, exotic
sherbets, and toasted pecans. Then there is the Mt Saint
Helen: vanilla, chocolate and strawberry icecream topped
with hot caramel and a "lava flow" of hot fudge. And of
course the obligatory whipped cream, nuts and a cherry!
Personally though, I think the Hot Fudge Nutty Nutty sounds
better....hot fudge and peanuts like the Tin Roof, but then
they add toasted almonds too, which are my favorite topping,
nut wise. And the Raspberry Fields Forever sounds like one
someone else in this thread mentioned, except instead of
vanilla, this is chocolate ice cream with raspberries and
hot fudge.

There is one in San Diego. I think it is the last one around
hereabouts. I still fondly remember the Carnation Ice Cream
Parlors. All gone.

There are two: Mira Mesa (i.e., the San Diego one) and Santa
Clarita. Word is, the Mira Mesa store is more "authentic"--
the folks who run it have been operating San Diego Farrell's
since 1968.
