Is homemade ice cream as good as store bought?

Question

Is homemade ice cream as good as store bought?
I bought one of those ice cream makers, and followed the directions, but it did not come out as expected, certainly not as good as what I buy in the store. Am I missing something, or is it just not as good?

Answer 1

I think it is better. My dad used to make homemade ice cream all the time. The store bought stuff would stay in the freezer for a long time while we ate the homemade stuff.
