Ice Cream

[IreneAdler]

I found this fabulous new flavor of Blue Bell (for those of you who've never had it, it is the nectar of the gods, I swear). Dreamsicle - orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream. I LOVE it. It's incredible.

What's your favorite flavor?

Do you like/need stuff on top of it?

Is it something you have often or rarely?

(I start this to make myself feel better for eating half a pint this evening )

Blue Bell is the best.
My best friend Miles and I were talking about ice cream last week and he asked what my favorite flavor was; "The one closest to my mouth" I said

The Blue Bell Triple Strawberry is just awesome. Orange sherbet is good too and I found some Cheerwine flavored Sherbet a few weeks ago that was awesome.

I always want to try strange ice cream. Kroger makes a strawberry peppercorn ice cream and it sounds so nasty! But what if I've been missing out on the amazing combo of strawberry and peppercorn my whole life? Maybe it's amazing! I doubt it, but maybe it is.

Moose Tracks is my personal favorite.

 

[IreneAdler]

lol, people think I'm a heathen because I don't like Rocky Road... strawberry peppercorn sounds way better than Rocky Road (blech). Maybe it's sweet with a little hot.

I've heard of beer icecream, Oh, and bacon.

Mint is glorious, as are pistachio and ginger (not together, though they could be ...). No sauces, no nuts, no fluff, nothing on top, just plain and lovely. Intake is limited for several reasons; I like the £5.99 brands, it is difficult to get pistachio/mint/ginger (?!?!) around here, i'm a porker who would rationalise eating a whole 500ml tub in a single sitting is no worse than eating a 500ml tub over 7 days. So I try to buy it specially for group occasions, forcing sharing and therefore limiting consumption and easing the post-ice cream depression.

Runners up for ice-cream flavours of tastebud love are;
Mango, ginger, apple, coconut, apple and rose.

Who am I kidding.

Quality ice-cream, regardless of flavour, is just a melt in the mouth taste sensation that needs to be savoured.

I want apple ice cream. Is it apple or is it sour apple? I love exotic flavors (which I'm sre aren't exotic to you, lol) I'd like to try ginger too.

Oooh that does sound good

 

[IreneAdler]

isn't it strange how some places have such different flavors (this killed me at the Coke museum too - soda from overseas is amazingly weird)

 

[Fremdin]

Oh yeah. Even regionally in the U.S. it varies. My favorite thing to do is to go to to "foreign"(northern) grocery stores and look around.

 

[Fremdin]

Things vary a lot generationally too. There are old fashioned type flavors for sure, like Black Walnut

There ought to be a Food Lion near you. Try the Cheerwine Sherbet. It's awesome, kinda cherry flavored.

I don't know. I've never gotten into Cheerwine. They should make Dr.Enuf Sherbet

 

[Mydnyte]

I wasn't a big Cheerwine fan, but the sherbet is good.

I think it's just plain old apple, I just look at the fruity bits and tell everyone it's part of my five a day :o

 

[Fremdin]

I'll have to try it then, I think it would work better as a sherbet because the soda is too sweet for me to drink. I just realized I've been pronouncing sherbet wrong for years. It's not SherbeRt is it?

That'd be so good. I hate sour apple flavored stuff

Oh that's how I always pronounced it too, and a lot of people say it that way. But it's spelled sherbet soo........... I dunno lol

I prefer to make my own, non dairy, kind:

Cut up, frozen bananas kept in freezer

(optional) Coconut sugar (see: Coconut sugar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Other frozen fruit/dried fruit (dates/raisins/blueberries,strawberries)

(optional)Coconut cream

Wheat germ and/or oats for extra protein

Cinnamon

Chia seeds for extra protein and healthy fats



The bananas and other frozen fruit need to be thawed slightly (can be done quickly with boiling water) - but just slightly so they can be blended with the other ingredients.

No refined ick. No saturated animal fat ick. Tastes better. 100x more nutritious.
