Ice cream flavors

You have mint, but not mint chocolate chip? :confused:

It’s a tough call between that and chunky monkey but you made it easy by not having either so I could select “other.”

Also: Maple Walnut. What the hell kind of list is this anyway?

I’ll always go for Maple Walnut but it seems to hardly ever be available at the local B&R. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing (i.e. we like our maple up here).

Of course, Pralines and Cream is a fine alternative.

Ice cream with peanut butter in it, including peanut butter cups, peanut butter swirl, peanut butter and chocolate, Moose Tracks, etc (I tend to eat the ice cream first, saving the peanut butter parts/pieces for last). Cookie dough is a second (again, eating the pieces last), followed by coffee, usually with chocolate syrup added; I also have this way of mixing the ice cream up (when it doesn’t have any pieces in it, like coffee) so it resembles soft-serve.

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen black walnut ice cream. Looking online, it appears Haagen-Dazs has it as one of its flavors. I’ll have to keep an eye out next time I’m at the grocery.

I voted “coffee/mocha,” but mint chocolate chip is really my all-time fave.

Question: Why does “chocolate” ice cream not taste like chocolate? :confused:

If you pour chocolate sauce on top of vanilla ice cream and mix it together it tastes like chocolate.

Black Walnut is one of Blue Bell’s rotational flavors & is quite delicious. http://bluebell.com/what_were_crankin_out/our_ice_cream.html But you can’t get Blue Bell everywhere. Their Mint Chocolate Chip might be my favorite but I picked “coffee/mocha” because it’s not as common.

It’s hard to go wrong with ice cream. Now thinking about lunch at that Italian place in the neighborhood where they make their own gelato…

I’m with Johanna; I like whatever’s got cherries in it. Bing cherries, cherry vanilla, cherry chocolate chip. I don’t think anybody’s mentioned White House ice cream yet. When properly made in a premium version, there’s nothing better. (For the uninitiated, it’s vanilla with Maraschino cherries.)

Cookie dough. BRUSTERS chocolate-chip cookie dough, in a waffle cone. If I had to pick only one food for the rest of my life, I think that would be it.

I usually go for some fancy but chocolate-based flavor like rocky road or tin roof or bear claws or fudge brownie or…

But I can go for any of those, and since the poll only allowed one option, I chose “chocolate” as the common thread.

It does look like Superman, in that it’s red, blue, and yellow, the three colors of his costume. Anyway, it’s a midwest thing, which is why you may not have heard of it. But they always have it at ice cream parlors around here (sometimes renamed to something like superhero, but no one asks for it that way).

Mackinac Island Fudge - Its creamy vanilla with caramel swirls and generous chunks of fudge.
Made by Hansen’s in the Green Bay, WI area.

Yummm Yummm Yummmmmy!!!

All of the above flavors (that I’ve heard of) get a “yes”.

You forgot Ben and Jerry’s Creme Brulee.

Bell Bell is my favorite brand. All their flavors are really good. Black Walnut is always a treat.

I’m not really an ice cream eater. I think the last time I had some it was Cookie Dough. I remember a place near my college that had great Butter Pecan (a long time ago.) Black Raspberry was a favorite at one time.

I can’t recall when I last had any ice cream though.

Haagen Dazs: Black Raspberry Chip; Black Walnut; Fleur de Sel Caramel; Pomegranate Chip; Cinnamon Dulce de Leche; Pralines & Cream; Bailey’s Irish Cream

Ben & Jerry’s: Pumpkin Cheesecake; Karamel Sutra; Vermonty Python; Cherry Garcia; Imagine Whirled Peace; Turtle Soup; Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch

Other: Lobster Tracks (Gifford’s); Coffee (almost anyone)

I see “vegan” is in the poll, but that isn’t really a flavor, now, is it? Vegan ice cream comes in different flavors too, you know, the same kinds as regular ice cream (and it can be super-delicious). Unless you mean ice cream that tastes like actual vegans, which sounds… disturbing.

I voted “other.”

Over 35 years ago, in the PacNW, I first tasted banana split ice cream. Instant love.

We moved from there, and I have been searching, searching, searching ever since. I love ice cream, and there are certainly many, MANY flavors that make me swoon with pleasure…but in the back of my mind, the wisp of a memory always dwells.

Ben & Jerry’s, the ice cream gods, have finally produced a banana split flavor. And it is really GOOD. But it still is not QUITE the banana split of my dreams.

The first banana split ice cream I tried was the best: it was a yellow banana-flavored ice cream, with ripples of fudge, chopped maraschino cherries and chopped walnuts. The second time I tried it (again, in the PacNW), it was a three-stripe Neapolitan type: banana, chocolate, and strawberry.

Hello, Ben & Jerry’s? Pretty PLEASE, re-create the ice cream of my dreams!

In the meantime, I really won’t mind “suffering” with moose tracks, tin roof, Cherry Garcia, apple pie a la mode, fresh peach, or any of the other thousands of outstanding ice creams.

But oh, that banana split…
~VOW

Only seven (other) votes for rocky road?? I don’t know what’s wrong with you people.

Like many others in this thread, ice cream is its own food group for me: I love mint, strawberry, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, coffee, banana, vanilla, etc. Lately, I’ve been on an ice cream sandwich kick.

When it comes to Ben & Jerry’s flavors, Chocolate Fudge Brownie is the no-brainer…but if I get it at the grocery store, I usually also grab a pint of Häagen-Dazs rocky road from the shelf just below it. :slight_smile:

I seem to recall, sometime in the late '70s/early '80s, Friendly’s (in the Baltimore area) selling a rocky road ice cream that contained peanuts instead of almonds: does anyone else remember that?
