That’s the most common kind of Neapolitan icecream, but it’s sometimes made with pistachio substituted for the vanilla, giving a more interesting mix of flavours.
Salmon - according to Jimmie Walker, looks just like strawberry.
For me, having grown up for a few years in the 1970s in the US, the flavors that are quintessentially American are those things that are facsimiles of actual tastes.
“Grape” flavor
“Cherry” flavor
“Cinnamon” flavor
The “chocolate” flavor in a Tootsie Roll
Whatever Hot Tamales are meant to taste like
All the above take me back to my childhood in Texas - as well as peanut butter and jelly (with sweet PB, and the fake grape taste of the jelly).
Apple Pie, of course.
And let’s not forget Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream.
Lisa: Do you have anything with fruit in it?
Homer: This one has purple. Purple is a fruit!
I take this as proof of American Exceptionalism. 
Interesting to know. I’ve never come across that in the UK, though, so I doubt it’s what njtt was thinking of (pistachio’s not a very common flavour for ice cream here even now).
It could be: the big difference is the wintergreen component, I think – which is definitely an American taste not much found elsewhere.
Would you add “Watermelon” flavour to that, do you think?
Well the “cinnamon” flavor used in toothpaste and candy isn’t really cinnamon, if that’s what you mean. 
But we get plenty of real cinnamon, and use it in such delightful things as cinnamon rolls, cinnamon toast and apple pie.
I believe they make soy ice cream. You’d miss out on a lot of the more exotic flavors, but butter pecan and rocky road shouldn’t be too hard to find.
I’d actually try to tell you where to find ice cream that didn’t taste like milk, but honestly, I’ve never thought it did. Even when I was a kid and hated milk, I loved ice cream. You must have a very sensitive tongue.
What the hell is Superman ice cream? I was born in Colorado, grew up in Wisconsin, and have lived in Minnesota for the last 9 years and I’ve never heard of this.
Huh. I wikipedia’d it, and I’ve still no idea. It’s clearly not rainbow sherbet, though that might be it’s non-custard analogue. Weird - I’ve never seen this.
At the Gilroy, California Garlic Festival a few years ago I had some garlic flavored ice cream. I don’t imagine they have that anywhere else in the world. They aren’t missing anything.
I know Blue Moon is a U.S.A. ice cream.
I think the Grape Nut ice cream is something the cereal company promoted people use as a topping to sell cereal.
Twinkle coat is an American ice cream topping that is almost impossible to get, but everybody ate from Dairy Queen decades ago.
Thanks for the flashback…we called that “crunches”. And it was only a couple of decades ago.
Blue Bell out of Texas used to sell it, but as I understand - will not be offered as a flavor this year (current flavor list).
I checked your recipe to see and yes … it’s got cinnamon in it - definitely an American taste - apple pie with cinnamon, totally different taste to the English (or Irish since it would have been my mum making it) version without it. It’s as American as apple pie with cinnamon. I know the French don’t do it because we ended up making apple pie sans cinnamon for a French friend over there - he was totally exasperated with the spice aspect of said pie. 
Englishers - do you put cinammon in your apple pie? We never did.
I know they tried to launch Jolly Ranchers in the UK during my early teens- they didn’t go down well- I think because the fruit flavours were so chemical and fake tasting.
Root Beer
Sassafras
Pumpkin made into sweet things
Wintergreen
I think Haagen-Dazs market butter pecan flavour as “Pralines and Cream” in the UK- it is one of my favourites, and has a picture of a pecan and a piece of toffee on the tub.
I’ve had peach icecream (with bits of real peach flesh and skin in it) in Florence, so i don’t think that flavour of ice-cream is american!
Close. Pralines are a type of candy made from sugar, butter, cream and pecans - the sugar is carmelized and covers the nuts. Butter pecan ice cream usually doesn’t have carmelized sugar in it.
I certainly do. Cloves as well, sometimes. Or I might use allspice – it depends how I feel. Spice is the variety of life, you know.
“Englishers,” though? What kind of talk is that?
Mmmmm, blue moon! I’m not even sure exactly what it’s supposed to be, other than blue moon.
