Chocolate shake or vanilla?
Chocolate ice cream or vanilla?
For me -
Chocolate shake.
Vanilla ice cream…with toppings that may include chocolate.
(Strawberry fans, stay away!)
I can go either way, depending on mood at moment. If somebody were to follow me around and talk into their sleeve every time I made a choice, I suspect the tally would go something like:
Chocolate 60%
Vanilla 40%
But then you’d have to factor in the other stuff (nuts, fruit, other subsidiary flavors) that was in there along with the basics.
How do you count Rocky Road, Heavenly Hash, Moose Tracks, Turtles, etc?
Chocolate 75%
Vanilla 15%
Mixture of the two 10%
When I was in high school, one of the objects of my affections would always drink two cartons of milk at the same time…one chocolate, one white, straw in each, sucking them up together. When I asked, he said the chocolate was too chocolatey and the white was too white.
Chocolate. Period. End of discussion.
vanilla shake (no shake because it gives me ice cream headache)
vanilla ice cream–but NEVER plain–choc topping, and nuts, please.
as for baked goods: chocolate all the way. Accept no substitutes.
We don’t mention fruity desserts–there is no purpose for them on Earth.
If those are the only two choices, Vanilla.
Chocolate shake
Chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and hot fudge and maybe some peanuts (not walnuts) if they’re available.
I’m a chocoholic.
Chocolate shake.
Vanilla ice cream, loaded with toppings.
Once you go cocoa, eating vanilla seems loco.
Vanilla for just about anything where there’s a traditional dichotomy. However, I don’t think anyone would try to come up with a vanilla-and-caramel candy bar, or a vanilla-and-fondant-cream easter egg. (My two chocolate weaknesses.)
In all things non-ice cream, the answer is chocolate. However, chocolate ice cream is nasty, nasty, nasty.*
So to answer your questions, vanilla to both.
*Wanna know one of the reasons my wife and I make such a good team? She feels that way about vanilla ice cream. Since ice cream cake is almost always 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 vanilla, we each simply eat “the good half”, and then swap plates.
Ice cream is ruled by Chocolate in the kingdom of my mind. It doesn’t matter what format - shake, ice cream cone, cup, soft serve - when I have ice cream, it will almost always be chocolate.
Vanilla is a flavor I prefer with warm creamy desserts.
Chocolate shake, chocolate ice cream.
Vanilla ice cream with chocolate cake or brownies. It’s a nice contrast.
StG
Chocolate shake (with m&m’s preferably)
Vanilla Ice cream. Plain is fine, or with walnuts.
After working at an ice cream store, you tend to be set in your preferences
i thought this thread might be about the future of nola for which we need at least chocolate-vanilla swirl, if not more than neopolitan.
since it’s not.
chocolate shakes
vanilla ice cream
cheers,
Vanilla for both. In ice cream form, I sometimes like it with caramel. Almonds can be good too.
I like white chocolate, but I don’t care for chocolate-chocolate much at all.
When I was younger it was all chocolate, all the time. Now that I’m older I’ve really grown to appreciate the subtle, sublime flavor of good vanilla and find chocolate too overpowering. (this is for ice cream, BTW, it makes no sense but my mild lactose intolerance is bothered more by shakes than by ice cream)
Chocolate. The darker the better.
I loooove chocolate anything, but if I can get my Angel Food Homemade Vanilla brand ice cream on sale I’ll take that please.
Vanilla’s good once in a while, but I prefer kinks.
Er. Chocolate. With extra chocolate. And chocolate chunks. And chocolate syrup. And brownies. And hot fudge. With M&Ms.
