Real ingredients, real flavours, the real thing! Then you come back to the UK and realise what crap we are being palmed-off with.

Probably pistacchio.

Very true, at the supermaket down the road they just opened up a counter selling hand made ice cream. I had a little tub full of sumptuous chocolate and another flavour called latte. Delicious....

Ice cream, my only weakness...

I tend to enjoy any kinds of ice cream but I must say that Ben & Jerrys is just great.

I also like ice lollies, do they come into it? And the ice cream chocolate bars, they're cool. Like Mars and Snickers.

Cookie Dough flavour, btw.

Amaretto beats all ice cream. In fact, it beats all other desserts (except hash brownies, but that's a different matter entirely.)

Ice cream is my one big weakness. I'm to the point I've got to have some every day. I'm like Mount Suribachi - some right before bedtime is my usual fix.

As for flavour, it is a tough call, but my favourite is probably chocolate peanut butter - veins of frozen peanut butter meandering through chocolate ice cream.

Ice cream makes the world a better place to be.

Ben and Jerrys, Chunky Monkey.

I'm also a fan of mint chocolate chip.

Vanilla done well beats all else, especially with a nice cigar. Also, there is no substitute for real vanilla; if it's got the specks, then it at least knows enough to imitate real vanilla.

I can't pick a "favorite," but some of my regulars are pistacchio (Hagen Daz), white chocolate raspberry truffle (Godiva), Raspberry Vanilla Swirl (Hagen Daz frozen yogurt, with champagne and Bach on a Sunday morning), Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Ben and Jerry's is better in my mind than Hagen Daz on this one), and Lemon Ice (Double Rainbow). A recent discovery is Hagen Daz Creme Brulee --very rich and yummy.

Dang it, I didn't pick up anything for tonight ... bad timing on this thread!
