Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

I've always been fond of black raspberry and lemon sherbet.

Of course, you left "black raspberry" off the poll, despite it being one of the most popular flavors around. Instead, you put in "black walnut."

Black Walnut? Do people even eat that? Ugh.

I eat Black Walnut sometimes, because sometimes they have that instead of Butter Pecan. The owner just figures, "We'll throw in something with nuts and no one will be able to tell the difference."

Hey Muzza...what's in honeycomb? it sounds good like it would be good...is it just honey?

This entire topic fails for no mention of cookies and cream.

Nothing spices up vanilla like chunky Oreo goodness.

I love vanilla as long as there is hot fudge or the like involved. Just plain ice cream, I do find it kinda boring. So I'd have to go with chocolate or cookie dough.

Also, Ben and Jerry's Fossil Fuel. Unfortunately I havent seen it around much lately, but it. is. amazing. Vanilla and chocolate fudge swirled ice cream with chunks of (dinosaur shaped!) fudge inside. Mmm.

We have both those flavours in Frappe Snowland.

My favorite ice cream flavors according to 2 different types

Ben & Jerry's:
Americone Dream
Vanilla heath bar crunch
Karamel Sutra
Phish food
Mint Chocolate Cookie

All other brands:
Straberry
Mint
Heath
Oreo

Give me exotic flavours anydays over boring old strawberry, chocolate, vanilla or whatever. I like stuff like Coffee, Cheesecake, Bubble Gum, etc. when I see it, but I will jump towards my favourites or less standard flavours like Mango, Red Bean, Taro/Ube or Green Tea at first opportunity.

Who in their right mind doesn't like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream.

Yeah, I also vote other, because this poll does not have green tea.

I'm not a big ice cream fan in general, but every so often I'll have some, or get a craving.

Chocolate ice cream (especially soft-serve or chocolate frozen yogurt) is probably my favorite.

My sister works at Dairy Queen and brings things home all the time...I like peanut butter and chocolate combos (like a butterfinger blizzard made with chocolate ice cream).

i pretty much avoid vanilla ice cream most of the time, it may be one of the reasons I don't like ice cream much.

Generally, I'd much rather have a specialty latte from Starbucks if I'm going for the sugary indulgences.

Yeah, it is good...it does contain honey, but not an overwhelming amount, IMHO, despite the name. It's apparent in Crunchie bars. I can't really elaborate further, but if you see it one day make sure you give it a try.

I'm a pretty big fan of vanilla, as boring as that sounds, but I'm definitely not afraid of other flavors. I've been known to dig on the pralines and cream more than anything else though, I can't get enough of it. Summonmaster also speaks the truth about the greatness of green tea flavored ice cream. I remember they served it at this Japanese restaurant I went to with some friends, and while the portion was rather small, it was still pretty damn tasty.

Unfortunately, I am one of those souls who can't take lactose. Thankfully, it's not to the point where it's going to send me to the hospital, but it still feels like my insides are being ripped apart an hour or two after I finish.

Milk does a body good, my ass.

Garr, have you ever tried a water ice (or Italian ice, same thing)? I know it's not really available in California ( ;_; ), but if you ever travel to the east you should try and get some. Dragoon Kain and I talked about it a bit in Divest's thread in Angst, it's a fantastic alternative if you're lactose intolerant.

For my own opinion on ice cream, I'm pretty cool with anything that has peanutbutter or chocolate in it. For an added bonus I often like to break up hard pretzels and put them in my ice cream. Nothing beats smooth, cold ice cream with little interstitial bits of salty, crunchy pretzels. <3

There's an Italian Ice place called Joe's Italian Ice in Garden Grove (~2 miles down Harbor from Disneyland), and they might have other locations around Southern California.

Sherbet. SHERBET. THERE IS NO SECOND 'R'.

Okay, I'm done.

I love mint chip ice cream. And orange [or most other flavours available too] sherbet. There's some other ice cream flavours that I like, but can't think of them at the moment. I haven't had ice cream in a long time, which is sad.

Wikipedia disagrees.
