1. Milkshakes

[boston bean]

2. You mean frappes?

Round here a milk shake is milk with a flavored syrup added and shaken.

Frappes have the ice cream milk and syrup and then mixed with a blender.

[niyad]

17. Should have specified-Bailey's, coffee ice cream, Kahlua, creme de coco, blender.

[boston bean]

18. Yum, can I have one too?

🤗

[niyad]

22. of course. Coming right up.

[boston bean]

21. One more name for a frappe is a cabinet. That is what they call them in Rhode Island.

[niyad]

23. weird.

[boston bean]

29. Yeah it is. You would think one name would be sufficient. Haha

[JHB]

57. One name is sufficient, but it's like how there's...

...all those other weird named for heroes.

[sheshe2]

37. Could I have two please?

[niyad]

56. of course.

[iemanja]

54. not in much of the rest of the country

It's either a milkshake or a malt. Ice cream, flavor, and milk is a milkshake. Add malt powder and it's a malt. I have always preferred malts.

I've lived in the South, the SE, the West, and the Midwest, and it's always that way.

[burrowowl]

69. I prefer malts too!

[applegrove]

3. Orange sherbet. Lemon lime frozen yogurt, pralines and cream. All

thing I will not have this summer.

[boston bean]

4. Why not?

[applegrove]

5. Cutting out sugar and bad carbs. Gotta loose weight for a number

of reasons. I've discouvered zoodles and love them. I am looking for keto friendly pasta sauces.

[boston bean]

7. Maybe this for those cravings

[applegrove]

8. Man they'll think of anything. I'm off diet coke too because the sugar substitute

just makes me crave carbs. But thanks for the suggestion.

[yellowdogintexas]

64. Good on you for ditching the diet soda!

I keep telling my husband he needs to stop drinking Diet Dr Pepper!
He eats far too many carbs and I am certain the diet drinks are the reason

He likes unsweetened iced tea but even if I make it he still consumes mass quantities of Diet Dr

There are a lot of other reasons to ditch the diet drinks but I can't remember them all.

I never did like them; my diet drinks are unsweetened tea and water

[applegrove]

68. Kidney stones can result from dark sodas I hear. Yes. Diet soda has made me fat

and craving sweets over the years.

[mitch96]

31. "I've discovered zoodles". New to me, I had to look that one up... I'll try 'em out...

but not on my ice cream
m

[applegrove]

36. Try doing tomato feta bake (recipe is everywhere online) and add uncooked

Zoodles instead of cooked pasta. My current favourite thing.

[crickets]

44. Wow, that sounds delicious! Thanks for the idea. nt

[applegrove]

49. You take 50 cherry tomatoes in a dutch oven and toss them in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.

You take a one inch slab of feta and put it in the middle. Add another 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil on and under the feta. Add pepper. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes (lid off). When you take it out of the oven stir in 2 tsp chopped garlic and stir into tomatoes. Let cook for 1 minute. Stir the feta till it breaks apart in the tomatoes. Add the zoodles and stir. Makes enough for 4 servings. You don't need salt because there is enough salt in the feta. I like goat feta myself. I know people who add shrimp or onions. There are many versions online but they all suggest cooked pasta instead of zoodles. Zoodles are better for you and they make for more of a sauce because there is water in zuchinni. Tastes great as a leftover too.

[mitch96]

60. " Zoodles instead of cooked pasta. My current favorite thing." Ok, zucchini? check spiralizer?check

Process the zucchini, check. Llke you said, a bit of garlic and oil. I threw in some sautéed onion, mushrooms, and bit of tofu. Holly crap was that delicious!!!! It had the "bite" of pasta and a really nice flavor... Ok I'm hooked. Off to the store and get more zucchini
thank you thank you thank you.... !

50. Ha!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

6. Chocolate cherry,

Neopolitan and blueberry cheesecake are my fave ice creams.

Also like mango passion fruit sorbet.

And Ritas ice cream custard,mango is one of my custard faves.

Can't eat it anymore diabetic.

[boston bean]

43. I like cherry Garcia.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

45. Now I miss the cherry Garcia.

It's delish.

[boston bean]

47. Is there any brand with no sugar you can eat?

[Retrograde]

53. Maple Walnut

It seems to be a regional thing: when I visit my family in Western New York the three things I insist on having are beef on weck, birch beer, and maple walnut ice cream.

[TexasTowelie]

9. Southern Blackberry Cobbler by Blue Bell. nt

[boston bean]

42. Sounds delish!

[Takket]

10. you can't make me choose!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boston bean]

20. Haha ha

[BigmanPigman]

11. My first job was at a Tasty Freeze.

I love soft chocolate with wet walnuts, jimmies (Phila's version of choc sprinkles) and whipped cream. I gained 10 pounds that summer. Best job I ever had. Yum!!!!

The only bad part was when someone ordered a choc dipped cone (dipped into melted choc). Every single time my ice cream fell into the choc and everyone had to run over with spoons to scoop it out. Once a baseball team came by...all wanted dipped cones.

[boston bean]

15. I love maple walnut. Hard to find now a day.

But when we go out for an ice cream it is soft serve.

So, I chose that as my fave.

[yellowdogintexas]

65. they call chocolate sprinkles 'jimmies' in Boston too. nt

[BigmanPigman]

67. Do you call sandwiches subs, grinders or hoagies?

Phila calls the hoagies.

[boston bean]

71. In MA we call them grindah's..

[Danmel]

12. Why not both?

[boston bean]

13. Cause you gotta make a choice for this poll.

😁

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Both

I can't pick so I chose Other.

[boston bean]

24. Good choice.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. Other. Depends on my mood by I'm really picky about soft serve.

[boston bean]

25. Dairy Queen soft serve is the best around here.

[Maru Kitteh]

30. DQ takes its machines apart to sanitize every night and

keeps tight control to make sure the overrun (% of air) is consistent. Some food joints only sanitize once a week (GROSS). I shudder to think of the buffet and serve-yourself joints. Gas stations. Yikes.

[GoodRaisin]

59. DQ is THE soft serve. My favorite of all ice cream.

Not all soft serves are equal.

[smirkymonkey]

46. Same here, but I really do like to have soft serve at least once in the summer.

I actually prefer gelato or sorbet to hard ice cream. I like fruitier flavors and it's not easy to find fruit flavored ice cream. Not any that is very good, anyway.

There is an ice cream place here called Emack and Bolio's and they have this great machine where they take their hard pack ice cream and add fresh fruit to it (berries, bananas, etc.) and put them through the machine together to make a fresh fruit flavored soft serve. I think they only do vanilla and chocolate, but it is sooooo good! They are a chain, but there aren't many of them around.

All this ice cream talk is really making me starting to crave ice cream!

[boston bean]

48. Black raspberry use to be one of my favorites.

[smirkymonkey]

55. Yes! I love Black Raspberry!

Delicious!

[Wounded Bear]

19. Yes...

each has its place.

That would be in my mouth and stomach.

[boston bean]

26. Hee hee. I hear ya. I think Joe feels the same way!

[FakeNoose]

27. Klondikes need to be on this list

[boston bean]

28. I am not crazy about Klondike. But the frozen milky ways are pretty good.

[pansypoo53219]

32. frozen custard, but i haven't had a pink squirrel in ages. now i want 1.

[boston bean]

38. I have never had custard and have no idea what a pink squirrel is.

Sounds interesting though.

[pansypoo53219]

63. ooh, wi delicacies. frozen custard is just extra fat ice cream. deluxe ice cream.

pink squirrels are like a grasshopper. ice cream or custard + a shot of cream de cocoa 1 shot of red creme de noyea sp?). blend into thick malt. i go heavy on the creme de noyaux. ctrated in a bar in WI. bryants. they created quite a few drinks. hmm. wiki?

[yellowdogintexas]

66. frozen custard is good! my husband made some a couple of years ago

I took a pitcher of boiled custard to a party and came home with most of it, so he froze it in the churn It was divine!!!

(I guess no one really understands boiled custard if they are not from KY, but it is delicious!!! A Christmas tradition, with coconut cake and ambrosia)

[TheBlackAdder]

33. I'm a sloot! Whatever's in front of me.

[boston bean]

41. Seems like you are in good company in this thread.

😁

[Baltimike]

34. Lee's Ice Cream used to have a flavor called "Arbuckle's delight"

it was the best. I can't find it anymore, and will take either hard or soft serve

[boston bean]

39. Never heard of Lee's ice cream.

[Silver Swan]

35. I always like slightly grainy ice cream

Like some ice milk sold in grocery stores in the 1970s, or soft serve just before the machine froze up.

[boston bean]

40. I am not a fan of that texture in ice cream.

Would probably send it back. LOL.

[Tink41]

51. Whatever kind they're serving!!

I'm partial to Mexican Hot Chocolate, and Rum Raisin

[ironflange]

52. Look! Another real President right behnd him!

[wysimdnwyg]

58. Anyone who responds with anything other than Rocky Road is wrong

Of course, feel free to replace "Rocky Road" with whatever is your favorite!

I actually like soft serve in certain situations, I just prefer hard ice cream in large part because you get so many more flavor choices.

[TheFarseer]

61. Soft serve is crap

May it melt in hell.

[ProfessorGAC]

62. Went With Other

Only because it depends on how I'm feeling about it at the time.
Sometimes, I really want soft serve.
Other times, I'd much rather have packed.
And, I almost never do the cone.
Even with soft serve, I get it in a cup.

[11 Bravo]

70. I had to say other. For some flavors (say, rum Raisin) I prefer hard ice cream.

For plain vanilla or chocolate, soft serve is my go-to.
