Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

It's a basic question. Are you boring person who enjoys vanilla or someone who walks on the wild side and scarfs down pistachio almond?

I'm partial to banana ice cream, when I can find it. Otherwise, I go with butter pecan.

Edit: Now I feel silly, because I forgot to put "banana" in the poll.

You should feel silly beacause you forgot to put Blue Moon on the list. Best flavor ever, as measured by its ability to stain, turn your tongue blue, and send you into hyperglycemic shock.

I guess Banana and Blue Moon (do explain this one) could come under other in the poll. I go for Raspberry Ripple myself, can't beat it.

I didn't put it on there because I've never heard of it. What does it taste like, blueberries?

Not really. Pure sugar with a vague berry-esque twist and a very crystalline texture. Bright electric blue.

I voted for vanilla because you didn't have my two REAL favorites on the poll: grape and Cherry Garcia.

Orange Chocolate Chip (so I guess "Other"). Always been my favourite from a kid. Orange also happens to be my favourite colour tied with teal.

What is Cherry Garcia?

Also Mint Chocolate Chip ftw.

so you think vanilla is the end all and the all of ice-cream, do you? Well I need more than vanilla, and for that matter I need more than chocolate. I believe that we need freedom. And choice when it comes to our ice-cream, and that Alice, that is the defintion of liberty.

I have bland and simple tastes when it comes to ice cream. Generally, it doesn't run beyond the chocolate/vanilla dichotomy. On other times I may want a coffee ice cream or something more savory (such as Dreyer's French Silk) as opposed to candy sweet, like a fruit-flavored ice cream.

Ben & Jerrys (cherry and dark chocolate pieces if memory serves). In fact I was going to say Phish Food (aka other) but I only eat it once in a while otherwise I'm sure my tastebuds will die of chocolate-oversaturation or some such thing.

So yay Mint Chocolate Chip

If the poll limit wasn't 20 items, I could have added more things. I didn't think about Ben and Jerry's flavors; I had the Baskin Robbins homepage open instead.

And orange chocolate chip? That has to be the worst combination I've ever heard of.

Cherry Garcia is the favorite of both my dad and myself. You can always find a pint or two in our freezer (along with what ever random flavor I decide to pick up)

they really need to start selling B&J's by the half gallon.

I love fruit and ice cream with actual fruit in it. I had some REALLY good raspberry sorbet from the local ice cream shop the other day and it was so good because it had pieces of raspberries in it.

Thanks.

Damn, this thread is making me hungry. I think I should stop at the local ice cream parlor on my way home.

Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it.

And you obviously haven't.

Know what I love? Pistachio ice cream.

Know what I hate? The fact that Pistacchio ice cream has fucking pistachios in it. If I wanted something crunchy, why would I be eatin ice cream?
