whats your favorite ice-cream?
Its inventory time at the Reddi-mart where I spend countless hours of hard work doling out ice cream at high, marked up prices.1.35$ for one scoop of hard ice cream...I think its a rip off, but then again, I just work there.
Anyways... so as to elevate my boredom(its a pd day at school, I got out at noon) as well as to see what kinds of icecream we should order, I'm asking for your opinions on what ice cream is best. And, if YOU are bored also, why don't you tell me why, to. strawberry maple walnut vanilla berry swirl chocolate rolo Reeses peanut butter cups pralines and cream cotton candy boo boo bubblegum tiger chocolate manderin toffee brittle butterscotch New York cheesecake paw prints pistachio almond cookies and cream turtles nerds Thats all the hard ice cream I can remember off the top of my head...but please, enlighten me. Whats YOUR favorite ice cream Quote:

Be prepared for this thread to be moved to IMHO.
My office is located one building away, via skyway, from the best ice cream parlor in the universe: Izzy's. Izzy's has two locations. The building next door (here in Minneapolis) and one in St. Paul. They have homemade ice cream and the flavors change pretty much every day. My favorite flavors, so far: Grapefruit sorbet, Cream Cheese, Tiramisu, Chocolate Banana, Cinnamon Bun, Brie.

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert consisting of ladyfingers (light, crunchy, finger-length cookies) soaked in rum and covered with some kind of heavy cream. The only thing the ice cream lacks is an intense rum taste... Buca di Beppo does a great tiramisu that is just drowned in rum.
Cinnamon Bun is THE BOMB.

Mint chocolate chip is one of my personal favorites, Jester, but my boss is a tit, and doesn't like it so therefore, how could anyone else like it? I tried in vain to explain to her the concept of the whole "customer is always right" theory, but she bitched at me, told meshe'd been doing this for 22 years, and threatended to fire me. Seeing as how it was only my 5 da of work, I didn't want to overstep my boundaries.
She also doesn't like butter pecan. Theres DEFINETLY something wrong with this woman.

I would normally say Baskin Robbins peanut butter/ chocolate, but I had some homemade Chocolate manadrin in Bethesda when I visited there. It was faboo! I want to go back just to visit that ice cream shop.
Magic8Bakk $1.35/scoop doesn't sound outrageous, particularly if you're talking Canadian dollars. StG

Myself, I'm not a big fan of Mandorin, or actually, any type of citrus. Cottan candy's the shit, though. If I had the money, I'de buy a whole tub of it. Its very delectable.

When I was pregnant I was addicted to chocolate raspberry truffle (which may explain a lot about The Offspring) but if you haven't any of that, I'll take the chocolate mandarin (do I get a prize for being the first person in this thread to spell that correctly?). I like fruit and chocolate. I also like Bubbies' chocolate cinnamon. And we found wonderful tiramisu ice cream at some sidewalk stand when we were in Athens - Dr. Hawk actually returned to the selfsame stand when he went back on a second trip, then came home and gloated at me.

Chocolate is so boring though! Why would you get chocolate when you could have some wacky type that you can't buy at your local grocery store?
Chocolate rasberry truffle... We have rasberry soft serve, which is actually quite good. Do you know what a trufle actually is? I've heard itwas a peanut, from others, that it was a mushroom, but I'm actually not to sure.

Plain chocolate is boring. Plain raspberry is boring. Chocolate raspberry truffle is the food of gods. There is more than one kind of truffle. One is a mushroom. The other is not. Peanuts have nothing to do with it.
From Merriam-Webster online: Main Entry: truf·fle Pronunciation: 'tr&-f&l, 'trü- Function: noun Etymology: modification of Middle French truffe, from Old Provençal trufa, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin tufera; akin to Latin tuber swelling, truffle -- more at TUBER Date: 1591 1 : the usually dark and rugose edible subterranean fruiting body of several European ascomycetous fungi (especially genus Tuber); also : one of these fungi 2 : a candy made of chocolate, butter, sugar, and sometimes liqueur shaped into balls and often coated with cocoa Ice cream with nuts is also good - butter pecan, maple walnut, pralines and cream, rocky road, tin roof sundae. All of which I can get at my local grocery store. You would not believe what I can get at my local grocery store, including mochi ice cream.

No mint chocolate chip? Blasphemy. Your boss is insane.
Besides that my favorite ice cream is called moose tracks. Not on the list there, but it's heaven in a carton.

Jester -
I absolutely love mint chocolate chip. And, call me crazy, it has to be the artificially green flavored. There's something about that light green color that tugs at the heart strings. Tell me you love it green too, won't you? Won't you??

I'm a big fan of chocolate chip cookie dough but TheLadyLion doesn't like it. We're both good with cookies and cream but recently become enamoured with carmel/pecan turtle crunch. Bordeaux cherry chocolate chunk is good too.

Frozen Custard!
I finally found some! Been looking for years! A joint in Murfreesboro called Poppy's.

There's a frozen custard place just down the block from me. YUM, this thread is making me want to go get an espresso and cream sundae.
From the list, I'd probably go with the mandarin or New York Cheesecake. My personal favorites are Dreyer's Dreamery Chocolate Truffle Explosion, Haagen Daz Coffee, and Ben and Jerry's Phish Food. For you tiramisu lovers, you haven't lived until you've tried the Haagen Daz tiramisu gelato. Dee-lish.

Awhile back, your sweet ol' Auntie Gingy started a thread on the best Ice Cream in the World.
I also enjoy Breyer's Natural Vanilla from time to time. For me, though, nothing beats a good, goopy ice cream. In fact, I have some in the freezer now called 'Snapper'. It is caramel ice cream with pecans and caramel and chocolate. No fish.

Oh, there are so many good ones. First, the generic flavors:
Mint chocolate chip (definitely the best of the ones that everyone has) Strawberry (just plain strawberry. yum.) German chocolate (I love coconut) Peanut butter and chocolate (although Baskin-Robbins is the best) Blueberry (somewhat rare, but still counts as generic) When I was in high school, I worked at Braum's, which is an ice cream and hamburger chain in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas, and in addition to the above, the eggnog and pumpkin ice creams (note: separate flavors, not eggnog and pumpkin together) we'd get in the fall were awesome, particularly in milkshakes. Nowadays, almost the only ice cream I buy is Ben & Jerry's, so: Mint Chocolate Cookie (definitely the top of the heap) Cherry Garcia (a close second) Cool Britannia Everything But The... EntangledMints Chunky Monkey Apple Crumble Chubby Hubby (mmm...peanut butter-filled pretzels) Triple Caramel Chunk Chocolate Heath Bar Crunch The thing that galls me is that fully three of these (Cool Britannia, EntangledMints, and Chocolate Heath Bar Crunch) are no longer being produced.  Yeah, I spend a lot of time thinking about ice cream...

My favorites tend to be fruits, chocolate, or mixes thereof.
I'd forgotten about chocolate raspberry truffle. Mmmmm.... Sorbets. Raspberry, orange, grapefruit, lemon.... My all-time favorite has to be a flavor that Ben & Jerry's released in Japan for only a week or two (frickin' teases!): Coffee chocolate chip. Bring it back, dammit! Reeses peanut butter cup sounds yummy, though. Time to start petitioning the local Baskin-Robbins (or 31, as it's called here).

scout, I ADORE it green. It's not the same any other way. My especially favorite way to eat it is to drizzle it with chocolate syrup, then let it melt a bit. The melted, radioactive greenish ice cream blends in with the syrup, and it's pure heaven. I really want some now.

Cookie Dough! That or any of the astonishing variety of coffee-themed ones out there.
I know you didn't ask, but I think butter pecan is the most vile ice cream flavor in existence.

You mean chocolate with marshmallow swirls or chocolate with actual marshmallows in it? If it's the latter, there's always Rocky Road, although it does have nuts in it.

My favorite ice cream ever is Bluebell Peaches and Homemade Vanilla. It's not available year-round, and now that I live in NY, I don't think I can even get it. =\
Almost as good are their Chocolate Covered Cherries, Caramel Pecan Fudge, and the HEB store brand (I don't remember the name) Greman Chocolate flavor. Man, I miss Texas.
