  • What about Minis, aren't they any good?
    They are nice, and you see them around here, my mom even wants one. However, they are ugly and overly big if you look at the original, the real, the amazing Mini Cooper.
  • Heavenly Hash for me. It's great for making milkshakes.

    What's in Heavenly Hash? It makes me think of the ice cream equivalent to hash brownies.

    Ice cream cake is one of the best things ever invented!
  • It's kind of like a mixture of chocolate and vanilla with chocolate chips in it.
  • Ice cream cake is good when it's really high quality. Standard Dairy Queen ice cream cakes just don't do it for me. Now Marble Slab, THEY make a fuckin' ice cream cake. :D~~~
  • I like ice cream that is more savory than overly sweet: pumpkin, ginger, matcha, coffee, black sesame, brown rice
    Also, I like flower flavors: rose, lavander

    Also, mango lassi squeeze ice gets points for being awesome.

    However, the miso flavored ice cream I had at the cafeteria one time is not so good.

    Brown rice? Black seasame? Matcha? Where do you get those flavors? I never heard of them.

    Rice flavored ice cream? O_O !

    I kinda had american ice cream in mind, but Japanese flavors are okay too I guess. I've never had any of those flavors, are they any good?
  • My favorite ice cream is Perry's Piece of Cake Ice Cream. I really like B&J's half-baked light ice cream. Really chocolate stuff in good quality ice cream pretty much fits the bill for me. I also like mango and red bean ice creams. I cannot stand vanilla. I've never understood why people would want vanilla ice cream... it is like buying a blank canvas and hanging it on your wall. (This is a Mr. and Mrs. MacRoss ongoing debate.)
  • Vanilla is the blank canvas so you have to add stuff like sprinkles, fudge, cookie dough and so on.
  • Brown rice? Black seasame? Matcha? Where do you get those flavors? I never heard of them.
    Some at the Japanese Grocery, some just at the regular supermarket, like pumpkin and coffee. Except for the Miso flavor. That I have only ever seen at the cafeteria at school in Nagoya.

    Also, Kate blah! I like vanilla. It is simple and mild, with a subtle flavor.
  • Chocolate peanut butter
  • Also, Kate blah! I like vanilla. It is simple and mild, with a subtle flavor.
    I was going to say vanilla but then everyone else started to say fancy flavours. I also like cookies and cream and pralines and cream
  • Also, Kate blah! I like vanilla. It is simple and mild, with a subtle flavor.
    No, it has a bland flavor, to me. I do enjoy subtle flavors in many things, even other desserts. But if you are going to invest some calories in ice cream, I want them to be worth the investment and chocolate always pays off.
  • Also, I like Blue Moon, which is blue pineapple flavored ice cream with big chunks of yellow pineapple in it. When I was a little kid, I'd always get excited if there was blue moon ice cream at the counter.

    Now if Blue Bunny ice cream company makes a Blue Moon ice cream, their powers will combine and I will become the unstoppable blue moon bunny of awesome.

    That sounds neat. Who made/makes it?
  • Dunno. I just know when I was a kidling, I was very fond of it. I haven't had it in years.

    This existed and I did not know of this....DO WANT!
  • Here is the Wikipedia page on it. Here is a place to but it. Apparently it is supposed to be fruit loop flavored. Hmmmm....
  • Suggested flavors for Blue Moon include: fruit, Fruit Loops, orange, pineapple, lemon, cherry, raspberry, cantaloupe, honeydew, peach, licorice, pistachio, coconut, almond, burnt almond, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom, buttercream, custard, chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow, bubble gum, Blue Curaçao, Crème de cacao, Amaretto, cake frosting, and various combinations of these flavors.

    ...It was pineapple. I remember.

    Different brands/creators had different flavors. Each maker had their own take, it seems.
  • I have a conspiracy theory. They take whatever flavors are leftovers, dye them blue and you have "Blue Moon"

    Ha! If it tastes good, who cares?
  • Speaking of all this blue (the color or not I don't give a shit) talk, I remember when I was really little and I used to go hiking on a mountain in Hartford called Sleeping Giant, there was a little ice cream parlor that sold a flavor of ice cream that I'd give anything to try again: Cookie Monster. It was basically thick cookie chunks in blue colored ice cream. And I always used to buy it every time I went.

    Ugh, blue ice cream is irreversibly associated with bad stains, stickiness, overrated flavour, and bratty children in my mind, no matter how good a particular type of blue ice cream may be. That's mainly because at work, we have this Bubblegum ice cream (no gum pieces, just the flavour) that is a nightmare to work with. Figures that it's the most popular kind we sell. Kids don't care what ice cream tastes like; all they say is, "Want the BLUE one! The BLUE one! Mommy get me the BLUE one! MOMMYYYYY NOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!" ><

    First of all, they are kids and it is ice cream. It will taste good to them no matter what flavor it is, so the color is an attractive selling point. It was designed to be enticing to kids - so blame the people making it, not the kids for wanting it. Secondly, if that were my kid demanding like that, I would just say, "If you cannot ask politely and calmly, then you will have no ice cream." If they persisted, I would cancel my order and leave with my child immediately. No ice cream for rude children. Period.

    Oh yeah, I know in the surface of my mind that it's not the kids' fault for that. It doesn't stop the annoyance from building up in my animal brain over time, though, no matter how much I tell myself that it's reasonable to expect that sort of thing from children. ^^; I think it wouldn't be as bad, either, if Bubblegum weren't such a messy, exceptionally sticky ice cream to work with.

    I would be so on your side if that's how you handled an ice cream situation like that. That is exactly the smart thing we as clerks secretly want parents to do when their children are being difficult. I have served far too many loud, angry children whose parents were utterly cowed by them. I think the worst was an extremely sullen and snappy twelve-year-old and her mom. I think the mom was trying to appease her daughter for a fight they must have had; she let the girl get a very big Rocky Road ice cream in a chocolate-covered waffle cone with rainbow sprinkles. Even with that, the daughter was still treating her mom like a piece of shit for what looked like no good reason, alternating between short, unintelligible screeches and the silent treatment combined with glaring. It was so hard to keep my nice face on in front of that kid. Ugh. ><

    That's to say nothing of adults who behave like bratty children. I wasn't there for this, but a while back, one of our girls made a mistake in putting together a man's ice cream. She handed it to him, he looked at it for a moment, and then he yelled at her: "THIS ISN'T WHAT I ORDERED!" And he threw the ice cream right onto her chest, storming away before she could say anything. Poor girl was in hysterics for a little while after that.

    It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it. I'll be waiting for the firing squad to get here for that totally stupid joke.
  • My favorite Ice Cream flavor is Pistachio. Although that Perry's cake ice cream is pretty darned good as well. Although every few months or so I do get a strong craving for plain old vanilla soft serve with or without rainbow sprinkles.

    I did buy some Eddy's Tagalong ice cream today since it was on sale. I know some people turn their noses up at girl scout cookies, but I have to say, this peanut butter and chocolate ice cream is actually pretty darned good.
  • Turkey Hill's Tin Roof Sundae is my fave. Naysayers be damned.
