1. I usually keep half gallons (now marked down to 1 1/2 quarts) in my freezer. If there are treats, it’s a Klondike bar. But my favorite are Good Humor Chocolate Eclairs. 2. No truck in our neighborhood, but at least we don’t have any [ice cream truck turf wars](http://amsterdam.wnyt.com/news/news/282352-fulton-county-ice-cream-truck-rivalry-heats) ([“Hello, folks!”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHMFooKZsFs#t=02m50s)). ---

Those tubular popsicles that come unfrozen? I could eat about ten of those in one sitting. Otherwise, I eat vanilla ice cream in a bowl, with chocolate syrup and maybe some malt and a splash of milk or coffee. Then I stir it up into my own bowl of delicious milkshake. I remember loving Coco Tacos when I was a kid, but it’s been decades since I had one. ---

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > [IT’S-ITs](http://www.itsiticecream.com/) What he said. I grew up with them as the ultimate “treat” in the summer. We didn’t have them very often, but when we did they were the BEST! ---

I rarely keep ice cream on hand, but nothing beats a soft-serve chocolate cone with “chocolate” sprinkles. Especially since I have jedi-like tongue action and never drip. (Hi, ladies.) Also good, Aglamecis’ mint chocolate chip. Most anything from Graeters, though I’m an Aglamecis’ fan. (Yes, I am a 'nati boy.) ---

Soft-serve chocolate-vanilla swirl. But there aren’t any soft-serve places left around here now, and that makes me sad. Just frozen custard, which I don’t like nearly as much. ---

Butter pecan is my favorite. But damn, that’s like asking me which one is my favorite kid. ---

I don’t eat ice cream usually, but do make a wide variety of sorbets. Mango habanero is one of my favorites. Plain frozen bananas are usually in my freezer. Likewise frozen grapes. I like put a couple handfuls of the grapes in a blender, top with lemonade and blend. It makes a grownup flavored slurppy.
