I’m partial to anything [cherry](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=660438) and wish I’d included the Cherry family. Funny thing is both of them were rock musicians. Everybody’s heard of Garcia, but [Cherry Vanilla](http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cherry-vanilla-mn0000107916) is much less famous. Rather, the ice cream named for her has far outpaced her in fame, such that most people’s first association with the phrase is ice cream rather than music.

All you vanilla people are white-haired white people who drive around in white station wagons eating mayonnaise-on-white sammiches and vanilla shakes that you must be careful not to spill on your all-white clothing and your white buck shoes while listening to Paul Whiteman, Average White Band, and the White Stripes.

Also known as Tiger Tail, though Tiger seems to have replaced the name lately. It’s my favourite flavour, when I can’t get just licorice.

I had it out west. It was amazing. Haven’t seen it in Ontario.

ice cream like pizza is a food group. it’s not healthy to have a favorite, you need to eat all types and flavors.

Has no one else here ever had \*\*cinnamon \*\*ice cream?? That’ s my choice.

I was going to post that I like all ice creams, until I read this post. Black licorice ice cream sounds fouler than foul.  
mmm

Choc chip, although the ice cream manufacturers here seem to be not making it so much. Clearly, they have no idea how much I like choc chip ice cream or they’d increase output immediately.

Other than that, I’ve become partial to jaffa.

Oh. My. GAWD! How was I not aware that such a thing existed? And why hasn’t anyone brought me any yet? This seriously sounds amazing. I’ve never even heard of licorice ice cream, but licorice and orange are two of my favorite flavors of anything!

But enough of that: I voted other, because the best ice cream I’ve ever had was Cotton Candy, from Cold Stone Creamery. I only recently discovered the place, but seriously? Amazing cotton candy flavor. Mixed with gummi bears, just 'cause.

The reason I picked chocolate was because while I may like some of the other flavors better, I don’t _always_ like them better. If I had to pick one to stick with for the rest of my life, chocolate would be the best bet.

I picked “mint”, but it’s gotta be mint chocolate chip. One of those foods I could just eat until I exploded.

Spumoni, so I don’t have to choose between chocolate, cherry, and pistachio.

Cookies n’ Cream followed by Cookie Dough, Choclate, and Vanilla. Also any flavour with candy bars in it.

I was in complete agreement until I got to that part about how you like cotton candy flavored ice cream with gummy bears, which has caused my to question my own tastes, and also the existence of a just and loving God.

(Ok, I was already an atheist, but now I have _proof_!)

Vanilla, please, although French vanilla is also good. I’ll go with butter pecan next. Not a huge chocolate ice cream guy, myself. It’s okay, but there’s about a dozen other flavors I prefer.

I knew I missed one! I love Moose Tracks! It sure has been some time since I’ve had it though.

Oddly enough the first time I had it was on a trip to Alaska; as we were eating it a moose wander by the window. How fitting.

I had never even heard of Superman ice cream until just now. It does not look like Superman. It looks like an LSD trip with the primary colors all swirling together and combining into secondary and perhaps even tertiary colors. More like Donovan’s psychedelic song “Sunshine Superman.”

Black Walnut is my favorite. Wasn’t on the poll. Strawberry is my second favorite. Thats what I voted for.

Black Walnut can be tough to find. I usually find it maybe once every ten times I look.
