Neuroscientists at the Institute of Psychiatry in London “scanned the brains of people eating vanilla ice cream. They found an immediate effect on parts of the brain known to activate when people enjoy themselves; these include the orbitofrontal cortex, the "processing" area at the front of the brain," said The Guardian.

The Bite This! Foodie Review visited a Northport, Alabama, ice cream shop that triples and has a “go-to” spot for crawfish and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Ingram Farms in Northport, Alabama

4300 US-43, Northport, AL 35473

Presentation:

There are tons of Blue Bell ice cream flavors to check out, but you can’t go wrong with chocolate, mint chocolate chip, butter pecan, or a scoop of vanilla.

The shop was nice, had sweet servers, and had several families enjoying sweet treats.

Taste:

I opted for the Pistachio Nut in a sugar cone during my visit. We visited on a sweltering afternoon, and it hit the spot completely.

Texture:

It’s Blue Bell, and it’s always great! If you love Pistachio, this is the go-to ice cream.

Smooth, creamy and delicious.

Value:

The sweet folks at Ingram Farms have the best ice cream at the best price, and it’s all dished out by smiling faces.

Overall:

Bite This! Foodie Review enjoyed our visit; it was family-friendly and had a nice area to sit outside.
