Ice Cream: The Good, The Bad, and the Melty

[theguyfromspark]

Inspired by me eating a new flavour of ice cream yesterday, what have been your frozen dessert related stories and likes/dislikes?

As I mentioned yesterday I picked up a new (I think) flavour of Ben & Jerry's Icecream called "Bohemian Raspberry" which I wasn't sure I would like but I bought it anyway.

Fortunately it was really really nice! It's pretty much raspberry ripple ice cream with fudge bit scatterred in it, yummy!

Italian ice cream is pretty much the closest thing man will ever get to a culinery based orgasm. I can still taste the lemony goodness from 4 months ago. These Chincs have no idea what they're doing with it. Damn I could go for some Hagen-Dais.

Chocolate Eclairs, Chocolate Scooter Crunches, call them what you will, theyre a delicious, overpriced piece of heaven

[Jordan]

Ha... Ice cream.

Any of the CE'ers can tell you quite a funny story about ice cream and an old member...

[Petey Piranah]

Why does it have to be so darn fattening (high satured fats) and high in sugar!!! :shakehead Darn manufacturers...

Nice treat though, especially plain vanilla soft serve for me, love it. I'm the sorta guy that can have a truck load of food for weeks on end and will not put on a single kilo, its quite frustrating actually...

Also funny enough i am a big fan of ice cream from "ice cream trucks", probably just the novelty factor I guess...

Love Ice Cream, used to have Ice Cream races with mates, first one to finish a 2 litre tub wins. Favourite flavour has to be good old mint choc chip, you can't beat the classics.

[ReZourceman]

Pistachio. Owns. Bitches.

There's a type of Ice Cream I've only seen in the lake district that's awesomely delicious. Twas called Thunder & Lightning.

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Sounds like cider ^

Cornish vanilla ice cream is always delicious. Crumble a few digestives in it and add a banana- quality.

Being a geology minded person, it's all about the Fossil Fuel by Ben and Jerry's. It's like a taste based archeological excavation sensation. I think they should throw in a few other chocolate shapes other than just dinosaurs though. Maybe a few trilobites or ammonites. Oooh and sort the ice cream into various stratas, with Cambrian/Ordovician ice cream at the bottom containing trilobite chocolate shapes, then a layer of Carboniferous ice cream with some fish and fern shapes, then a Jurassic/Cretaceous layer with dinosaurs and finally a Tertiary/Quaternary layer with people and mammoths.

Nothing beats Phish Food Ben and Jerrys ice cream, chocolate "fish" with white and dark chocolate ice cream and toffee sauce

(And Marshmallow-ee-sauce)

[Dog-amoto]

Half Baked is the best Ben and Jerrys. But I agree with an earlier poster - Italian ice cream leads the way bitches!!

[Eenuh]

I'm not too familiar with all these different tastes you guys are mentioning. And when it comes to Ben and Jerry's I think I've only had about three different tastes (one being plain vanilla even). I do like the cookie dough one though.

And tiramisu ice cream might be my favourite. I love tiramisu in itself, but mix it in with ice cream and you have a winning combination. =D

[arab_freak]

Rainbow Sherbet, if I remember correctly. Good stuff. : )

[Domstercool]

Hmm cookie dough, hmm rum and raisin!

I wish they made marzipan Ice cream. I would like it. If they do make it, would someone kindly direct me towards it?

Sounds like a good idea...

*googles*

Here (http://www.recipegoldmine.com/dessiceH/dessice172.html) we go... I might try this when I get home. Amaretto ice cream could be nice too.

[Letty]

yaaaaay!

I will make some, and say how it goes.

(note:this may not happen for months)

[Dante]

vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream :)

My favourites:

Vanilla Haagen Dazs
Vanilla Cart d'Or
Anything from italy! (Kinder bueno ice cream ftw!)
Good old Cornish vanilla ice cream!

And last but not least...
HOT FUDGE BROWNIE SUNDAE FROM HARD ROCK CAFE! :yay:

[ipaul]

Vanilla ice cream wins, scooped never whipped like most of the stuff out of ice cream vans. That stuff is horrible. Ben & Jerrys is nice but overpriced, good to have once in a while. :)

[welsh_gamer]

At home, Rasperry Ripple or Toffee Ice Cream from a supermarket is the best, but while dining out, I once had a Toffee and Fudge flavourved Ice Cream with Maltesers in it, which I order every time from a certain restraunt nowadays.

[ReZourceman]

K.....Kinder Bueno Ice Cream......?

[mr-paul]

K.....Kinder Bueno Ice Cream......?

Yep. Had it in northern Italy and South of France. Twas pure awesomeness.

[Roostophe]

I've never had any Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Dazs or whatever. I think my favourite is Raspberry Ripple, which I haven't had in years. (I'm not even sure if it's actually called Raspberry Ripple.)

[Dyson]

I havn't had Raspberry Ripple in yonks. Must get some at some point..

Everybody knows it: BJ = Best Ice Cream EVERRRR.

Never had one, but I heard good things about BJs. Have to be careful about getting dirty though. Leaves a stain.

[Goron_3]

Anything ben and jerrys is just PERFECT!

God they were selling big tubs of them for £2 at a tesco's near my school....god i've never ate so much for lunch.

[Coolness Bears]

I love all flavours of Ice Cream and any type as well! :D (of the ones i have tried :heh:)

[ReZourceman]

Im sorry I have to speak up now. Haagen Daz kicks the shit out of Ben & Jerrys every day of the week.

Y'see the the actual ice cream in Ben and Jerrys is pretty bog standard TBH, its the (admitadly awesome) toppings they add. Cookie dough, Caramel, Marshmallow.

Whereas Haagen Dazs ice cream is ridiculously delicious, and the toppings/inserts taste much more rich and luxurious (See Dulce De Leche)

Swear down. Tru faks.

You are talking about ice cream aren't you, and not blowjobs?

Ok, I admit it :( I actually like Shetland...

[DanielTimothy]

Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough, seriously overpriced, totally worth it!
