Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Cafe Society

I had the pleasure of working at a B&R for about two years in my teens. My favorites wavered over that time, but some standouts I remember:

Pralines and Cream
Jamoca Almond Fudge
Baseball Nut
Quarterback Crunch (Mrs. Mix’s favorite too)
Chocolate Mousse Royale

In my later years, Ben&Jerry’s Wavy Gravy trumped all of these.

Nowadays, my gut can’t do ice cream anymore, but for those of you in the same boat, may I suggest checking out “So Delicious” dairy-free products, especially:

Mocha Almond Fudge Bar

…closest thing to a dairy-free Dove bar.

Stewart’s just had their annual ice cream sale, any half gallon for $2.99. We ordered ours 2 weeks ahead of time, and just picked them up last week. We got 14 half-gallons of ice cream. 5 of them are mine, and they’re all mint chocolate chip.

One other flavor that I adore is Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia.

President Obama worked in a Baskin-Robbins as a youth in Honolulu. (Or Nairobi, depending on your bent.) I’ve read he became so sick of ice cream that he still cannot eat it to this day.

I’m not a very adventurous eater even when it comes to ice cream. Chocolate, or vanilla with hot fudge. Sometimes some rainbow sherbet. If I’m in NYC it’s hazelnut or raspberry gelato.
