Its inventory time at the Reddi-mart where I spend countless hours of hard work doling out ice cream at high, marked up prices.1.35$ for one scoop of hard ice cream…I think its a rip off, but then again, I just work there.
Anyways… so as to elevate my boredom(its a pd day at school, I got out at noon) as well as to see what kinds of icecream we should order, I’m asking for your opinions on what ice cream is best. And, if YOU are bored also, why don’t you tell me why, to.

Thats all the hard ice cream I can remember off the top of my head…but please, enlighten me. Whats YOUR favorite ice cream
My office is located one building away, via skyway, from the best ice cream parlor in the universe: Izzy’s.
Izzy’s has two locations. The building next door (here in Minneapolis) and one in St. Paul. They have homemade ice cream and the flavors change pretty much every day. My favorite flavors, so far: Grapefruit sorbet, Cream Cheese, Tiramisu, Chocolate Banana, Cinnamon Bun, Brie.
Tiramisu is an Italian dessert consisting of ladyfingers (light, crunchy, finger-length cookies) soaked in rum and covered with some kind of heavy cream. The only thing the ice cream lacks is an intense rum taste… Buca di Beppo does a great tiramisu that is just drowned in rum.
“Turtle” ice cream? “Paw Prints?” Sounds like what happens when my cats get into the ice cream . . . I’m old-fashioned. Put me down for mapel walnut and butterscotch.
Mint chocolate chip is one of my personal favorites, Jester, but my boss is a tit, and doesn’t like it so therefore, how could anyone else like it? I tried in vain to explain to her the concept of the whole “customer is always right” theory, but she bitched at me, told meshe’d been doing this for 22 years, and threatended to fire me. Seeing as how it was only my 5 da of work, I didn’t want to overstep my boundaries.
She also doesn’t like butter pecan. Theres DEFINETLY something wrong with this woman.
I would normally say Baskin Robbins peanut butter/ chocolate, but I had some homemade Chocolate manadrin in Bethesda when I visited there. It was faboo! I want to go back just to visit that ice cream shop.
Magic8Bakk $1.35/scoop doesn’t sound outrageous, particularly if you’re talking Canadian dollars.
Myself, I’m not a big fan of Mandorin, or actually, any type of citrus. Cottan candy’s the shit, though. If I had the money, I’de buy a whole tub of it. Its very delectable.
When I was pregnant I was addicted to chocolate raspberry truffle (which may explain a lot about The Offspring) but if you haven’t any of that, I’ll take the chocolate mandarin (do I get a prize for being the first person in this thread to spell that correctly?). I like fruit and chocolate. I also like Bubbies’ chocolate cinnamon. And we found wonderful tiramisu ice cream at some sidewalk stand when we were in Athens - Dr. Hawk actually returned to the selfsame stand when he went back on a second trip, then came home and gloated at me.
Chocolate is so boring though! Why would you get chocolate when you could have some wacky type that you can’t buy at your local grocery store?
Chocolate rasberry truffle… We have rasberry soft serve, which is actually quite good.
Do you know what a trufle actually is? I’ve heard itwas a peanut, from others, that it was a mushroom, but I’m actually not to sure.
