HoJo ice cream? Oh boy, that was the best! I don't know if you can still get it (come to think of it does Howard Johnson's still exist? hmm...) I can still remember the pointy scoop - that was my favorite size! I don't think I ever tried the chocolate mint, I was so stuck on chocolate chip!
Alas, Marion, the last HoJos' restaurant was in Greenfield, Mass., and closed down about 2 years ago. No more clam rolls. No more hot dogs in grilled buns. No more mac and cheese, chicken croquettes... Thanks for the memories- PJH There is an excellent site online www.hungrybrowser.com that has a recipe archive,and some of the HoJo's favorite recipes are listed there. I know the mac and cheese is there for sure. (I still remember the HoJo's in MA not letting me have my ice cream in a cone in the dining room, it had to be in a dish for some unknown reason.) ~ MaryJane
