Flavors of Ice Cream

[Parche]

What's your favorite? What's the best you ever tasted? Worst?

I tasted one that was sort of like pennies. Not so good. :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

1. None more black ice cream.

[Mojambo]

5. I'm trying to figure out whether I need to denounce or reject that ice cream. n/t

[Generic Brad]

9. You should both denounce it and reject it

That would be the politically astute thing to do.

[mainegreen]

2. Teaberry chocolate chip is the best.

[youthere]

3. Best I tasted was Ben and Jerry New Your Super Fudge Chunk...

Worst was Bubble Gum Flavor or Birthday Cake Flavor. Nasty.

[JTG of the PRB]

4. My current favorite is Ben & Jerry's Vermonty Python...

Coffee liqueur ice cream with a chocolate cookie crumb swirl and fudge cows.



Mmm...

[KitchenWitch]

11. It's....

[JTG of the PRB]

12. ...

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

13. There are more where that came from

AND

[JTG of the PRB]

14. Oh, mercy! Mercy, please!

IT HURTSS USS!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[FloridaJudy]

21. That one's way up there on my list

Along with "Wavy Gravy". You gotta love B&J's names, along with their politics: "Cherry Garcia", "Americone Dream" and "Karamel Sutra".

And their ice cream is pretty damned good as well.

I once tried some red bean ice cream in a PanAsian restaurant. I think I'll pass next time: it wasn't horrible, but it was far too bland.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

54. Vermonty Python is soooo goood....

Anything coffee flavored. I like Haagen-Dazs coffee ice cream, too. And straight chocolate chip, no mint.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

61. That sounds heavenly.

Must find some after Lent. :evilgrin:

[Ilsa]

6. pralines and cream, banana pudding, some sort of chocolate with

chunks of semi-sweet chocolate and a white swirl in it, all by Blue Bell.

[applegrove]

29. Pralines and cream, orange sherbet, chocolate chip cookie dough

[New Earth]

7. reese's peanut butter cup ice cream

which I'm about to eat now :hi: :D

Also, cookies & cream...plain vanilla, vanilla bean, french vanilla, cookie dough (no chocolate chips!), um.....

Ones I don't like = anything with nuts. Mint chocolate chip is annoying. I love the ice cream flavor, but hate chocolate chips in my ice cream. They are too cold and hard and get stuck in my teeth :( Also dislike any ice cream with fruit in it. Blech.

[Xipe Totec]

8. Mango Kulfi, with pistachios and Grand Marnier n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Right now I'm eating a bowl of Ben & Jerry's Vermonty Python.

Yummy.

[femmocrat]

15. Best ever was Ben and Jerry's "From Russia with Love" (?)

Or something to that effect.

There are a lot of flavors I don't like... how about rum raisin? yuk

[Muttocracy]

17. butter rum is a big yuck for me

favorite = bavarian raspberry fudge. don't know where the Bavarian part comes in but it's damn good (made at a local dairy, sold by the cone near where I work which is dangerous!)

[reyd reid reed]

44. From Russia with Buzz...

and I love that stuff. :9

Also...Cherry Garcia (they used to make a chocolate cherry garcia that was to die for) and butter pecan and strawberry. Oh, and peach. And chocolate. And...and...

*sigh*

[MassLiberal]

16. Edy's

Double Fudge Brownie & French Silk
Any Ben & Jerry's flavor, pretty much

[soleft]

24. French Silk

Oh yeah!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I just had some homemade vanilla ice cream the other night...

When I say homemade, I mean it was made in the restaurant where I ate. It was wonderful!

[yellowdogintexas]

35. mr Yellowdog makes KILLER homemade ice cream. It is the best.

don't make it often but it sure is good.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. What kind of ice cream maker do you use?

[yellowdogintexas]

47. White Mountain hand crank...he is a purist ..only handcrank will do. nt

[philosophie_en_rose]

19. Willie Nelson's Peach Cobbler!

:9

[Connonym]

39. I keep hearing about this but have yet to find it locally :(

Is it available by the pint or just in the Ben & Jerry's shops?

[philosophie_en_rose]

49. They do come in pints.

It's sold at Albertsons and Fred Meyer.

[TommyO]

67. One of my favorites as well!

It's peachy, but not overpoweringly so and the cobbler nibblies give it just the right texture.

[MaggieSwanson]

20. Interesting flavors I have tried here

in the Philippines:

Ube (sweet potato)
Quezo (cheese)
Corn (really)

And sometimes they are served on hamburger buns instead of cones.

[Sannum]

22. Merlot and chocolate chip

It is from a little shop here in Chicago. It is spectacular!

[BOSSHOG]

23. Chocolate Mint Chip

allowed to sit for a few minutes to soften up.

[GoneOffShore]

25. Goat milk/Honey/rosemary gelato

[asteroid2003QQ47]

26. Ginger...

at Round Top Ice Cream of Damariscotta.

http://www.angelispress.com/TMR/Issues/jun02/jun02art3.html

Round Top's almost 200 miles from my home so I don't get there nearly as often as I'd like.
A Thai restaurant in Rockland is where I found it first.

[huskerlaw]

27. Best = Red Velvet Cake

Seriously, SO good.

Creole Creamery, New Orleans

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

[GoreVidalIsGod]

Peppermint candy
maplenut

[redqueen]

52. Maplenut?

You made that up!

[Parche]

55. maplenut

Yes there is a Maplenut icecream
it is good
try to find it in your part of the US

i didnt make it up..........

:hi:

PS, its not something you have when you are eating a maplebar either....:rofl: :rofl:

[musette_sf]

62. i used to get Maple Nut

at the local Carvel in Brooklyn. mmmmmmmmmmm

[AnneD]

31. I'm a Blue Bell Ice fan as a rule

Love Peaches n Cream when in season and Moolineium Crunch but...

I have grown to love some Indian ice creams, esp Mango and Rosewater. The flavors are weird but great.

[Richard Steele]

33. Vanilla. Seriously.

Sometimes I get a little wild and order FRENCH vanilla.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. Sometimes, if my stomach is feeling a little "off"...

there's nothing like vanilla ice cream to make me feel better. I don't know why. Typically my stomach doesn't handle dairy products very well.

[flvegan]

34. Soy Delicious Rocky Road

or Chocolate Obsession.

[kath]

36. Best ever - Swensen's Swiss Orange Chip.

haven't had it in more than a decade, but just thinking about it makes me drool.

Have been thinking about trying to make up a recipe for a homemade version...

[nutsnberries]

37. Americone Dream is one.

:patriot:

Edy's has a new light one that's really good: Cookies n Dreamz

"Cookies N Dreamz is the stuff that dreams are made of, with down-home chocolate light ice cream filled with crunchy pieces of chocolate cookie."

:9

~could never pick a favorite~

[hedgehog]

38. Do Ben and Jerry still get to name new flavors? Because last week,

after they both endorsed Obama, someone suggested:













PECAN DO IT!

[Connonym]

40. Flavor you've never heard of unless you're from the Midwest -- Blue Moon

best way to describe it is that it tastes sort of like the milk left over from a bowl of Froot Loops, but in a good way

[u4ic]

43. Soy Delicious Cherry Nirvana

:9 :9 :9

[Fox Mulder]

45. Moose Tracks by Kemp's.

Worst I'd have to say any that tastes like black licorice.

[southerncrone]

46. Mayfield's Blueberry Cream Pie

Is there such a thing as BAD ice cream????? I think not!

[shanine]

48. I haven't had it yet

but on the lookout for a chocolate chili flavor
I had a chili chocolate bar that someone brought me from Germany and I want more!!!

[av8rdave]

50. Cookies and Cream!

[ThomCat]

51. Mint Chocolate Chip!

:9

Mint and chocolate is an absolutely awesome combination.

[Kashka-Kat]

53. MOCACCINO (CHOCOLATE+COFFEE) - goes beyond "food "into "drug"

[THUNDER HANDS]

56. Baskin Robbins flavor of the month right now is York Peppermit Patty

it's freaking yummy.

[noonwitch]

57. Chocolate chip-best currently is Baskin Robbins, but HOJOs was the best

Man, I miss Howard Johnson's. We always stayed under the orange roof when we travelled, and they had such good ice cream in their restaurants.

[mtnester]

58. Blackberry Sweet Corn - only during late summer months at

Jeni's ice cream in the North Market, Columbus, Ohio. Each year I watch her shop, and her site, and when it is ready I go in with a cooler and buy a hoard full (year's worth)

She ships her flavors nationwide, some are truly seasonal (I got me two pints of blackberry sweet corn hidden from the hubs in the fridge) and some are weekly, or experiments, or regular staples. I love going on Sunday and getting tastes then deciding what to get in a full size serving. When she makes her banana chocolate gelato..oh glory!

For the record, hubby has his favorite in the freezer as as well...Salty Caramel

[LeftyMom]

59. Soy Delicious Peanutbutter Zig Zag or Cookie Avalanche

:9

[Lydia Leftcoast]

60. My favorites:

1. Sweet cream ice cream from most specialty shops. No flavoring, just cream and sugar. :7

2. Two Japanese flavors: green tea and black sesame. The black sesame looks like wet cement, but I love it.

3. Any combination of coffee and chocolate, preferably with nuts. Or just chocolate. Or just coffee.

4. Maple nut


I intensely dislike rum raisin or anything with a strong almond flavoring (which tastes nothing like roasted almonds; go figure.) I also avoid ice creams with fruit in them, if possible.

[musette_sf]

63. me too for the sweet cream

Marble Slab in Texas has a quite nice sweet cream.

[fight4my3sons]

64. Ben & Jerry's Phish food or Cherry Garcia

but, I haven't triend any of the new flavors that they just came out with yet. I know one of them is a coconut one. Yum!

[trof]

65. Green tea ice cream SUX. Big time!

Tried some in Tokyo once.
bleh

[IronLionZion]

66. Trader Joe's Green tea! Pumpkin Pie, Key Lime Pie, Turtle

I love ice cream. It's my guilty pleasure but I'm not sure what my favorite is.
