What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

[pEZ]

As of late, this forum desparately needs a little light hearted topic, so let's talk about something that everyone likes - ice cream.

So here's the topic - what is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Or frozen yogurt, if lower fat is your thing.

Mine varies all over the place, but i'm a huge fan of mint chocolate chip, or if i'm feeling saucy, Jamoca Almond Fudge. Mmm. :D

[jelloshotsrule]

mint chocolate chip.... no doubt

[medea]

from tcby dutch vanilla w/ butterfinger.
DQ, vanilla softserve dipped in chocolate.
Store bought, chocolate rasberry from Godiva.

[Kwyjibo]

wow jello, MINT CHOCALTE CHIP is my absolute favorite....i like its better when its green usually ...i know that soudns strange but its suualy better....the only one i don't like is "breyers"

[Abstract]

Yeah, light-hearted is good right now.

I like all ice cream. If it's frozen, I'll eat it. ;)

I have a similar saying for women, but I won't post it. I read the rules. ;)

EDIT TO ADD: Breyers is "da bomb". :eek: Blasphemous!!!

[G4scott]

Chocolate Chip Cooke Dough

Hands down, the best ice cream out there...

And then there's HEB's Creamy Creations Dulce De Leche Ice Cream... That's good too, but not as good as chocolate chip cookie dough...

Butter pecan of good quality. If it's cheap junk, don't bother.


And, in season, I like a nice scoop of Quarterback Crunch from Baskin Robbins.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

My family is an ice cream family. Get us any amount of ice cream and it will be gone within 24 hours.

That is one of the things that annoys me about my dad. Every time we get ice cream - its like a race to get some, because he eats 3/4 of the gallon in one sitting.

I COULD do the same thing - but I try to think of the negative effects that would have on my body and the fact that it annoys me that my dad eats so much ice cream.

What's up with all the weird tastes in the US? ;) Don't you have "normal" ice-cream like vanilla, strawberry, walnut or stuff like these? Never mind, my favorite is Stracciatella. Do you know this in the States?

Alas, I can't eat ice cream any more. *sniff*

But, from past experience, my ice cream tastes run seasonally...

during the holidays, I love peppermint stick ice cream

and the rest of the time, anything with peanut butter, preferably, a peanut butter oreo blizzard from DQ!

Woo! I miss ice cream. :(

Alia

[pEZ]

scem0, I'm not seeing zucchini, cous cous, or carrot flavor ice cream being really high on my list..... :D

alia - frozen yogurt is the bomb too, especially when it comes to vanilla bean, if you can't eat ice cream any more because of the sugar. Just an afterthought.

Never mind, my favorite is Stracciatella. Do you know this in the States?

Veldek - i've never heard of this one, and i'm a born and bred american - tell us about it!

There has only been ice cream in my house about 5 times in about 7 years - and it is only for VERY special occasions - same goes for cheerios, inorganic milk, whole milk of any kind, pop-tarts, cheese-its, chips of any kind other than kettle organically grown corn chips, and any type of snack food. The most unhealthy food my mom buys on a semi-regular basis is Ramen Noodles - and the only reason she buys Ramen is because of the price.

But the ice cream lovers extend into my extended family - so there is always ice cream at family occasions. What my aunts always do is buy the amount needed to feed everyone in my (huge) family, and then buy one extra box of vanilla for my dad :rolleyes:. So although there is never ice cream at my house, I have seen the amount my dad can eat many times.

[Steradian]

heh you scream, I scream we all scream for Ice Cream Mmm my personal Fav is Homemade French Vanillia, nothing beats the classics :)

[Doctor Q]

Thanks for the explanation, scem0. Since you have a large extended family, I hope that means lots of family occasions involving ice cream.

I realize that I must like any ice cream from Dairy Queen. After all, we share the initials DQ!

According to Google, Stracciatella is Italian soup.

"chicken noodle" is not a top ice cream flavor in the U.S. ;)

I think that you misunderstood jelloshotsrule, I don't believe in gambling. Have a great fear to a phobia!

[pimentoLoaf]

Dairy Queen: the chocolate custard in a cone is just fine, though dipped in cherry is quite nice.

Baskin-Robbins: egg nog, anything with mostly chocolate, mint chip (great as a shake), burgundy cherry, strawberry, nothing with walnuts, none of the weird icky colored things.

[janey]

omg the häagen-dazs desserts extraordinare thing is making me fat...
i love the créme bruleé, chocolate mousse, and cafe mocha frappe flavors...
but i like to make my own ice cream, my favorite flavors are rosemary, green tea, plain vanilla and lavender...
i tried making some really disgusting ice cream once...i think it was either brown bread or prune ice cream...gross :p

And BTW, how could you even think of eating a brown bread or PRUNE flavored ice cream? :eek:

Ugh, totally! Breyers is the only brand I utterly despise. It's too gritty and really isn't that good. It's all-natural, but I think I can tell why it's the only all-natural :)

My favorite kind of ice cream: Dreyer's Double Fudge Brownie. Mmmmm.

Trying is good, just watch yourself. :p

Yeah I think we put in half and half instead of heavy cream, meh.

What is pissing me off is my sister had a b-day party and her friends when out for the supposed best ice cream they ever had, and...

They don't bring me back any.

What the hell, normally they do, or they have a cake or something, I was totally jipped, and they rubbed it in saying it was soooooooooooo (infite 'o''s) good. :mad:

[Doctor Q]

I made homemade ice cream a few times. It's an interesting process, and the ice cream was delicious, although it melted faster than store-bought ice cream. Like homemade bread, it took some time to make, including setup and cleanup, and it didn't save money compared to buying at the supermarket. But it had no hard-to-pronounce artificial ingredients!

[Mav451]

Starbuck's Mud Pie...basically starbucks coffee with fudge swirls/choco cookies in it...ridiculously good.

I didn't even know starbuck's had coffee until someone pointed it out to me. Somebody's gotta agree with me on this.

[voicegy]

Neopolitan. I can never make up my mind on what I'm in the mood for, so this "flavor" gives me the best of 3 worlds; vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. :)

To me it seems like it's similar to your chcolate chips ice cream mentioned here before.

[rt_brained]

Hmm, either tuna or egg salad.

[mactastic]

Anyone who lives in the Extended Bay Area should go to the Gilroy Garlic Festival and try their garlic ice cream. I swear, its really good! The festival is coming up soon, so anyone who likes garlic even a little bit should check it out!

P.S. I love making homemade ice cream, and if it melts a little faster, it is usually because it didn't get packed and frozen in the freezer after being made (you just dug in as soon as it was done huh! - Nothing wrong with that:D ). For $50 you can get a counter top ice cream maker (or fro yo maker) that is virtually foolproof and pretty much clean and easy to use. Just keep the cylinder in the freezer until... you know I think I hear mine calling me now! Time for some apricot ice cream, my neighbor just gave me a whole pile of 'cots from her tree to use! Woohoo!

When I lived in Julian, CA, I had a slice of Apple Pie (why do I feel the need to capitalize that??) with "home-made" (made at the pie shop) cinnamon ice cream. OMG. Oh, that was so delicious....

Julian, BTW, is like the world capitol of Apple Pie (there I go again...must be the Julianite in me). Pop: 5,000. Town: three blocks by six block. Apple Pie stores: like, seriously, ten, plus one cider mill. Best stuff you will ever taste.

[firewizard]

my favorite type of ice cream... hmmmmm,
i would definitly have to say mint 'n' chip, or moose tracks,
those in my opinion are the best ice creams on this planet

I'll be doggone. I go to Julian every time they have their Apple (the kind you eat) Pie festival thingie. And that's just about every week it seems like. Bloody motorcyclists seem to take over the place on weekends these days...

Where's Rower? Living in San Diego as myself, I bet he knows of the best Apple Pie in the U.S. as well!

[jbomber]

cookies and cream, mmmmm....

[jbomber]

wait! i'm a big fan of coffee icecream too... it's a tie.

somebody buy me a cone!

[caveman_uk]

Call me boring but I think Hagen Daz (spelling?) Vanilla is a lovely flavour - just four ingredients - cream, sugar, egg and real vanilla. No stabilisers or artificial crap. Tastes great

My other fave is from New Zealand so I can't get it at home. I can't remember it's name. It has bits of honeycomb in it. It's called something like hubble bubble or something....:confused:

Great stuff - I grew up on it...

My personal favourites are:

* Orange Chocolate Chip, and
* Lime

Yummy.

I can remember growing up and having home made ice cream. Used a wood barrel, salt, metal container, and a hand grinder. Good exercise. Also banana was one of the selections, guess that is where my preference comes from!

Dr. Demento would sometimes play a song named Fish Heads (http://www.yourish.com/fishheads.html) by Barnes and Barnes (http://www.westnet.com/consumable/1996/09.18/revbarne.html). That horrible tune is now stuck in my head and it's all your fault, GeeYouEye! Hmmm, I wonder if they make fish head ice cream? Eat it up, yum.

Breyers - Cherry Chocolate Chip.

[Capt Underpants]

I love chocolate, but when I was little, I used to go over to my cousin's house and we would take vanilla ice cream, but it in a bowl, and but sprinkles all over the ice cream. We'd let is sit for 5 minutes until it was halfway melted, ten eat it. I dunno where we got the combination from, but it sure did taste good.

sometimes we still make "homemade" ice cream, but it is with an electric oone that automatically turns the big tube of ice cream. Tastes the same to me. My mom always tells me that they had to sit on top of the ice cream turned thing to make it make ice cram right. One would sit, one would turn. But back on subject, homemade ice cream is the best.

Nice to see that wdlove had the right priorities...

...most of my friends at school were making homebrew beer in THEIR basements... (and having the odd-explosion occur!).

Ice cream sounded like a much safer (and tastier) prospect.

This stuff is interesting: Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream (http://www.popsci.com/popsci/hometech/article/0,12543,458641,00.html)

It's supposed to make the smoothest and creamiest ice cream, because it freezes the ice cream so fast, it doesn't allow time for the crystals that make ice cream hard to form...
