If I had an extensive choice, it would be some kind of creamy/coconut/pineapple...yum. Otherwise Strawberry.

vanilla, homemade especially
strawberry and peach are good, too

I am a fan of Mint Chocolate Chip myself

Coffee ice cream is my favorite. Ever. Ben & Jerry's used to have that Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz. It was orgasmic. If they still do make it, thank goodness, but I haven't seen it in the stores here. I also really like regular old vanilla chocolate chip too. But the kind w/ the chocolate slivers in it, not actual chocolate chips.

And I can't do chocolate ice cream. It's just too much. I like it even less if it has anything chocolate-ish added to it. Brownies, fudge, etc. As much as I love chocolate, I just can't do it in ice cream form.

Though my favorite frozen treat is frozen custard with peanut butter and peanut butter cups mixed in it. It's so good that my roommate and I call it "sin."

I'm feeling hungry...and sinful.

nothing can beat homemade.... yummy.

personally, the more chocolate, the better.

Vanilla all the way!

Just like cookies, I'm not picky when it comes to ice cream . . . any kind'll do. But lately I have been enjoying Coffee w/ Heath Bar bits blended in at Ye Olde Coldstone Creamery.
(mmm. It feels like it's 95 degrees in my house right now, I think I needs to get me some o' this RIGHT NOW.)

Word, Stiv. Word.

I have also been known to indulge in Cookie Dough or Caramel flavors. But my absolute favorite (which I can never find) is Spumoni. It's the same concept as Neapolitan, but the flavors are red currant, pistachio, and chocolate. Mmmmm ...

I hate to argue with Michelle (eh, who am I kidding?... I LOVE to argue with Michelle), but B&J's Pistachio Pistachio ice cream is the best. Ever.

Ever.

EVER!

Kroger's Blueberry Waffle Cone
Private Selection's former Mocha Espresso Chunk
*Bux' Java Chip
or just plain ole Vanilla Bean

~fafs

word, becky. word.

spumoni is like heaven.

also... plain chocolate, rockyroad, or mint chocolate chip.

Chocolate.

Preferably plain, but I don't mind if a few other items are thrown in, too.

: )

Preferably chocolate-complementing (or is it "complimenting"?) food items.

Two words...........




Moose Tracks!!!!

Michelle- you are my ice cream soul mate! This is basically exactly what I would have written! <cue twilight zone music>

I came across a really good Ben and Jerry's flavor recently --Irish Creme/Chocolate/Coffee goodness -- can't remember the exact name (oh yeah, it's LONG gone....)

Anyone hear a frozen custard fan?

-c.

Well then, coming from my frozen treat soulmate, I'll look for that next time! The Irish Creme/Coffee part sound too good... *drool*

oOoOo... is this it??? Dublin Mudslide

Wow.

Maybe this doesn't qualify cause it isn't really ice cream but my favorite is orange sherbet in a big waffle cone! But if I'm in a chocolate mood then it's Heath Bar Blizzard from Dairy Queen all the way! (Sadly we only have one, maybe two DQs in GR and they are both in scary parts of town...poopy.)

See, coffee flavored *anything* isn't for me. Except that I love coffee, the real stuff. Odd, but that's how it is.

OH! And Haagen Daaz Carrot Cake ice cream. Dude. DUDE.

yup, that's the one. and it's a "limited edition" or something, if i remember correclty. so stock up while you can!

-c.

How, how, how, how could Mint Chocolate Chip have been left out of this survey? It is one of the quintessential varieties of ice cream, and a top contender for Best Flavor.

That's where my vote's going.

While my favourite in non-traditional flavours is probably Cookies and Cream (followed in the more traditional queue by Vanilla), the kind I'd most like to have in my ice box right now is Strawberry Cheesecake, which I haven't seen since a gas station stop in 1998.

mmmmmmmm. someone here said the magic 'c' word- Cold Stone Creamery. Mmmm. Apple Pie a la mode ice cream. Be still my heart. I was up in GR at the Movie theatre and we opted for dinner rather than Ice Cream. I am still not sure if it was the right choice...But, hey, I will be up next week to see MEAN GIRLS (I love you, lindsey Lohan) for my birthday and The Birthday Girl might have to demand cold stone delight.

I just discovered a new yummy frozen treat! It's Barq's frozen root beer and vanilla ice cream float. SO GOOD! I think my boss picked them up at Costco but I'd guess you could find them anywhere. Its not a popsicle, they come in paper tube like things (kinda like push ups). If you like root beer floats you should try this.

mmm, that sounds pretty good.

well... i had Graeters this weekend in Cinci. they never disappoint.

the mint choc. chip was heaven. HEAVEN, i tell you!

All other ice creams cower in it's presence.

Is anyone else a gelato fan? I love the stuff myself.

I LOVE Gelato! More than ice cream sometimes....depending on where I get it. What's your favorite flavor? I've had strange ones like Green Tea or Rose.

I haven't creeped to much into the stranger flavors yet. I've only recently discovered the stuff.

I love sorbet too. Tarty fruit sorbet's. I love eating tarty fruity sorbet's right out of the pint. And After squeezing Milk Chocolate Magic Shell over the top layer. Eating top layer, repeat.

Favorite sorbet's to do this with are Haagen Dazs Mango and Rasberry and Dreyer's ( I think it's Dreyer's) Peach and Tropical Fruit.

Muh Gawd.

Stracciatella gelato is where it's at.

this thread is giving me a big ace just by reading it.

There's a nice dark chocolate hazelnut gelato that Jungle Jim's sells... awuckin' fwesome!!

This sounds so good! I think I'll have to give it a try very soon! and those magic shell toppings are straight from heaven.

i voted for coffee days ago, but just fished a big bowl of Spumoni.

Eating Spumoni AND drinking coffee at the same time, now that is tasty.

My first response to this was, "oh God, Oh GOD, OH GOD! How can I choose?"

So I went with Vanilla. It's probably what I get most (soft serve or frozen yogurt) and it is very enjoyable. But truthfully I love them all. I could eat nothing but ice cream for the rest of my gosh durn life and be completely happy about that.

Depends on my mood. I go through chocolate and chunky to fruity to somewhere in between. Regardless my husaband and I love ice cream. My husband is an exetreme ice cream snob. It creates a conversation almost every time I talk about it. Don't you all wish you could join in. I could have told you in Dayton, ...oh that's right I couldn't go. I am sure you all feel as if your experience was some how lessened because of missing out on my story about my husbands ice cream issues.

I tell ya what... Graeter's is quite good... Cincinnati's Aglamesis' Brothers is better...

The best ice cream shop... and it's right by the Oakley Dewey's and 20th Century Theatre...

you know.... i think that there is some peanut butter chocolate ice cream in my freezer right now calling my name.....

better than Graeter's mint choc. chip?! no way. that must be heaven!

I'm eating mint chocolate right now. Yummy! Sorry. Hijack. *disappears*

Ok libs, put the chocolate down. You've had enough, lol.

No! I HAVEN'T had enough! At particular times of the month a woman is entitled to unlimited supplies of chocolate! Meanie.

I vote for fruity sorbets. Among "actual" ice creams, I adore that vanilla stuff with the chocolate crackles in it, mint chocolate chip, and cookies n creme... and cherry around here comes in such a LOVELY shade of pink!

Vanilla soft-serv cones in chocolate shells are yummy, too. Mmm, chocolate....

I can't believe I'm the only pistachio person around here...

I thought Troy was a B&J's Pistachio Pistachio freak or something? I know someone in the Orchard is...

yeah, i'm surprised you've never heard him talk about it.

man. i NEED ice cream NOW!!!!

you are cool.


ben and jerry's is the best. my faves are chunky monkey[banana puree, walnuts, real chocolate...not the fake waxy stuff], chocolate mint cookie [think chocolate chip mint meets cookies and cream].

i got my mom in law totally ADDICTED to ben and jerrys. she got so mad! haha.

other than that, i also love cheesecake varieties... and vanilla... and ...and..... ILOVEICECREAM!

i also love sorbet and frozen yogurt. haggen daz has their new smoothies line, which is frozen yogurt and sorbet. so tasty. so low in fat.

OH! and has anyone tried haggen daz's "baileys irish cream" flavour????? it has the real stuff in it and oh man is it good.

there is nothing better than spumoni and a nice hot cup of coffee after dinner...mmmmm

ha! guess i should read all posts before posting...especially when my sister is online. so spumoni and coffee tonight rach?
