Ice cream flavor
You like chocolate ice cream, and hate vanilla ice cream. You spouse likes vanilla ice cream, and hates chocolate ice cream.
Is your spouse:
stupid
foolish
just has different taste opinions than you
Is there some sort of... personal reason for this kind of question?
I don't hate vanilla...I just prefer chocolate. ;)
Stupid. Everyone knows chocolate is the best.
I'm down for both. But vanilla with chocolate topping, say, syrup? Oh yeah.
So you really can't answer this if you don't actually have a spouse now can you?
this is a verry [Brother where art thou]" Is you is , or is you aint " [/brother where art thou] kind of question .
So you really can't answer this if you don't actually have a spouse now can you?
You can't stop me! hehehehehe :D
You are stupid if your views differ from mine,
everyone knows that. ;)
So you really can't answer this if you don't actually have a spouse now can you?
A man with no imagination. Vote as though you had a spouse.
Both are wrong. "Cake" is the only correct answer.
Is this a gun thread in ice cream clothing?
Both are wrong. "Cake" is the only correct answer.
I'm with you on that one. Chocolate cake mixed with vanilla ice cream is divine...though it's called a Pee-Wee Herman...
Is this a gun thread in ice cream clothing?
Nonsense. This is only about ice cream.
Chocolate. Ah, chocolate! Lethal, bold desire. There is nothing stopping you from enjoying the flavor, the excitement, but even adding a protective coating of Nestle's chocolate Shell isn't enough to get one to ignore that the ice cream probably contains too many nuts for your liking. Vanilla is a much safer choice and is clearly a favorite as well, but its flavor is easily overtaken by any ingredient imposed upon it -- the mere addition of a single, soft maraschino cherry completely overpowers it. Vanilla gives in, vanilla is weak. Now you know chocolate isn't good for you and who would want to be associated with
those people, anyway? You know the kind. Vanilla is what gentle, sane people enjoy on a happy outing at the park. Families eat vanilla. Chocolate is what poor people from Detroit stock in their freezer...
Nonsense. This is only about ice cream.
Oh, well in that case...
I'm a vanilla snob. I have a hard time eating any vanilla other than Breyers all natural. It used to be just like home made ice cream, but Breyers was bought out by Unilever, and now they mix guar gum and crap like that in with it. It's still the best, but it's gone down a few notches.
I just discovered
Breyers Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. I think it might be a new flavor. They take their vanilla ice cream, and throw in some chocolate chips and then mix in some raspberry syrup. It's really amazing how good it is.
Spexx, we see right through you. ;)
Everyone's tastes are different. I respect your right to like things that I don't. I might make fun of you for it in private, but I have no real problem with your preferences. :)
If neither of you can appreciate more than a single flavor of ice cream, you are both Philistines.
Currently, in my freezer I have:
"Delta Blues" - vanilla ice cream with blueberries, blueberry syrup swirl, and little chunks of "pie crust"
Mint Chocolate Chip
Natural Bean Vanilla
Bunuelos 'n' Cream - Cinnamon ice cream with chunks of
bunuelos and caramel swirl.
We go through ice cream pretty quickly around here.
Where did you find the delta blues??????????? OMG that sounds awesome!!
We only have store brand plain vanilla right now, bought to put on the apple crisp I made earlier in the week (that I finished this morning for breakfast :blush:). I really dislike chocolate ice cream, but love milk chocolate in all it's various forms. Go figure.
Try good vanilla with dry hot chocolate mix on top (Swiss Miss or don't bother). :yum:
It's a new seasonal flavor by Blue Bell (I don't know if you get them in the midwest or not, I think they're a primarily Southern company). It'll probably only be here for awhile, they do a lot of rotation. I keep hoping they'll bring back their cantaloupe seasonal flavor, that was the best ice cream I have ever had, period.
Pralines and Cream. Or Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch.
Chocolate. Vanilla. Scoff.

I was raised on the old-school vanilla Breyers. The stuff that they put out now? I can't eat it. I'm on a Ben & Jerry's kick...great ice cream.
If you try Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun ice cream...you're going to need larger pants soon. I can't get enough of the stuff...too bad it only comes in pints.
I'm a personal fan of Moose Tracks and Elephant Tracks.
Mint and cookie dough are always good choices too.
I was a HUGE fan of Edy's light Mint Cookies and Cream. As soon as I found it, they took it off the market. Have yet to find another mint cookies and cream.
Both are wrong. "Cake" is the only correct answer.
I pity the fool that would not choose
ice cream cake.
or Rum Raisin.
Too much ice cream talk, not enough ice cream action...looks like I'll have to stop at
Franklin Fountain tonight.
Chocolate Moose Tracks is proof that the Gods love us.
The Mrs. and I both like homemade vanilla with fresh peaches. About the only thing she won't do is listen to Led Zeppelin with me, which makes her both foolish and stupid. Uh, wait a minute.....yeah babe?
:bolt:

Spexx, you need to consider either buying neopolitan and letting the strawberry die a quiet death by freezer burn, or get vanilla and a large bottle of really good chocolate syrup for your personal use. Or better still, a bottle of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur.
I think it's interesting who hasn't voted.
Ibby and P-hawk, were you joking?
No, I really wasn't. Liking chocolate and vanilla both is okay - but liking vanilla more than chocolate? A sin.
The exception, however... Bluebell.
A nice scoop of plain vanilla Bluebell... heaven.
Too much ice cream talk, not enough ice cream action...looks like I'll have to stop at Franklin Fountain tonight.
I'll have the
Southern Sympathizer
RUM RAISIN and PISTACHIO ice creams covered with pecans and pistachios SMOTHERED in hot caramel and STUDDED with Praline bits.
This Franklin Fountain original is as pretty as a sweet-talking LOUISIANA GIRL in her Sunday best. $8.25
thank you.

Is that the Blue Bell (The Little Creamery) in Brenham, Texas, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Sylacauga, Alabama?
If it is, I don't see Delta Blues..... damn it.

If it was, I'd order some in a heartbeat.
At a price of $89, for four half gallons of your favorite Blue Bell flavors, we can ship anywhere in the USA.* Most of the cost is a result of the shipping charges, but it is one way to get "the best ice cream in the country" to you or someone else who can't get it otherwise.
Yes, I said four Delta Blues. No, I don't want vanilla or chocolate.... what do you think I'm stupid? foolish?
A few years back, someone had blueberry cheese cake around. Great. No more. Crap.
That's the one, Bruce. Maybe we're in some sort of test market for it, I don't know. I've heard of/had all the other flavors on that list, so maybe the super-brand-new flavors don't get on it right away.
Edit: I don't see the awesome cantaloupe flavor anywhere on their website either. Heck, maybe for $90 I could figure out a way to ship some to you.
Mint chocolate chip, cookie dough. Yum.
I never have had Cherry Garcia.
Milk chocolate is my favorite but I also like to have vanilla with chocolate syrup mixed in.
Ah ha!!
If you go to their "Extra Scoops" and then "Latest Contests" links:
We’re searching our 17 state region for unique and original flavors. We want consumers throughout the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas to submit names of ice cream flavors suggestive of their own state and/or local dessert traditions....
Similar state and regionally-oriented ice cream flavors produced by Blue Bell over the years have included Mardi Gras, Key Lime Pie, Georgia Peach Cobbler, Mississippi Mud Pie, Southern Pecan Pie, and Cantaloupe ‘n Cream, to name a few.
I bet Delta Blues is a Mississippi-special flavor. Why we have it in Texas, I don't know.
The only ice cream I consider worth eating is green tea. Chunky Monkey is a distant second, but I haven't had that in years.
Turkey Hill: Tin Roof Sundae. ok, what do I win?
I'll have the
Southern Sympathizer
RUM RAISIN and PISTACHIO ice creams covered with pecans and pistachios SMOTHERED in hot caramel and STUDDED with Praline bits.

thank you.
Which, the ice cream or the sweet-talking Louisiana Girl??
The ice cream unless she doffs that sunday best.
I'll have to ask the Franklin boys if she's willing.
I just prefer chocolate,what about you?
Of course I believe everyone has a right to enjoy their own personal favourite, but I can't help feeling that Americans complicate their ice-creams too much. Not an allegorical statement - I've decided to take the question at face value ;)
Ben & Jerry's? Faugh. Always seems to have something in it that I don't like - usually some form of nuts or cake product. Or bananas, which everyone knows are the devil's favourite food.
Probably not fair of me to make it a US issue - I find Pret a Manger (Brit sandwich shop) does the same - cucumber in just about everything for example, and I can't bear the stuff. Even if I don't taste it at the time I burp up the flavour all evening.
My all time favourite would be a simple, plain, good quality vanilla. For fancy ice cream I'd have a Haagen Daaz Vanilla Chocolate Fudge (rich vanilla with seams of chocolate and fudge). And yes, I know they're American too :)
C'mon! A bunch of you haven't voted.
Do we have enough flavors for a cellar field of 64 competition? I don't think it's been done yet with ice cream...correct me if I'm wrong though.
Cool Britannia (a discontinued Ben and Jerry's flavor) :(
The following have not voted. How do you think they would vote?

I've broken it down to a level even a child can understand, but in your case, I'll break it down further...
... you will find very real bullets in your ass.
My wife and daughters turned me on to Coldstone Creamery, without a doubt the best stuff on the planet regardless of the mix you select. I prefer the caramel pecan whatever it's called.
we have an ice cream shop call Bruster's. not sure where they originate from - but yummy! everthing is made fresh (supposedly) i get the basic chocolate in a waffle cone:yum:
Im a vanillia eater but to tell the truth Ben and jerrys Chunky Monkey is my addiction
I'd really rather vote about the ice cream than about the spouse.

I generally prefer more 'rich' ice creams.. she likes fruitier (although rocky road being a main exception to her rule) than I do... mmmm... creamypeanutbutterychocolatey goodness.. then again I also like simple stuff like a real french vanilla.. coffee ice cream... hell! I'll put honey roasted peanut butter on regular ice cream and call it good.

Coldstone is absolutely the best! The german chocolate cake!
Years ago I remember an article about an ice cream shop up in New Hope that made some of their flavors from flowers. I don't remember if it was rose, jasmine, or something else.
I bought dried hibiscus flowers to mix with my loose teas at work. I think that would make an interesting ice cream.
The winning chef on this weeks Great British Menu made
elderflower ice cream. Quite fancied it actually.
Ingredients
For the elderflower ice cream
300ml/½ pint whole milk, preferably Channel Island
6 medium free-range egg yolks
100g/4oz caster sugar
300ml/½ pint Jersey or clotted cream, or a mixture of the two
200ml/7fl oz elderflower cordial
For the perry jelly and summer fruits
4 gelatine leaves
500ml/18fl oz perry (sparkling pear cider)
75g/2¾oz caster sugar
125g/5oz mixed berries, such as blueberries, raspberries and wild strawberries
Method
1. For the elderflower ice cream, bring the milk to the boil in a heavy-based saucepan, then remove from the heat. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl, pour in the milk and whisk well. Return to the pan and cook over a low heat for about five minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk. Do not boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream and elderflower cordial. Leave to cool, then churn in an ice cream machine (according to manufacturer's instructions) until thickened. Decant into a clean container and place in the freezer.
2. For the perry jelly and summer fruits, immerse the gelatine leaves one at a time in a shallow bowl of cold water and leave for a minute or so until soft. Bring 100ml/3½fl oz of the perry to the boil in a medium saucepan, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Drain and squeeze the gelatine leaves, then add to the hot perry and stir until melted. Remove from the heat, add the rest of the perry and stir well. Put the pan of jelly somewhere cool, but do not let it set.
3. Divide half the berries among four individual jelly moulds, or use one large mould. Pour in half of the cooled jelly. Chill for an hour or so to set, then top up with the rest of the berries and unset jelly. (This ensures the berries stay suspended and don't float to the top.) Return to the fridge to chill until set.
4. To serve, turn the jellies out onto plates and place a scoop of the elderflower ice cream in the middle of each one.
I have been pondering this poll for weeks now, and I must be stupid 'cuz I don't get it. All ice cream is good.

Your thread explication. And judging by the responses, the overall theme of the thread. Perhaps you should have used a different example.
Vanilla Malt. Yum...
(I don't care if it's not really about ice cream or not, I just want a vanilla malt.)
Is this a gun thread in ice cream clothing?
Nonsense. This is only about ice cream.

I won't do it on Saturday, but I will shoot your goddamn tin roof, Sundae. :D It's not about guns, either. It's about how you feel about people who have opinions that are different than yours.
That's what you think. It's an ice cream thread because the Dwellers have declared it so. Doesn't matter what you planned it to be, mob rules... by thread drift.
I have a new favorite flavor, Coffee Break it is made by Blue Bunny.
Keryx believes it to be good also.:yum:
Hell, is there anything you and Keryx don't agree on?

That's the way it's supposed to be. Good for you.
Not everyone was honest in this poll. Their other posts don't reflect their vote.
I was. I voted "foolish." Or was it "stupid"?
;)
...
Chocolate is what poor people from Detroit stock in their freezer...
I used to live in Detroit - the freezer is where we kept our cold hard cash.
...
This thread has taught me a valuable lesson - don't mention food unless you want people to discuss food (the same with guns).
...
No one has mentioned meat-flavored ice cream; that would get my vote.
...
I think there should have been an additional choice to account for a "diverse cultural background."
I won't do it on Saturday, but I will shoot your goddamn tin roof, Sundae. :D
:eek:
:eek:
"tin roof sundae" is an ice cream flavor. I only have goodness in my heart for you, SG.
Bang-g-g-g-ng-ng-ng-ng! <gunfire and tin-roof reverb...b...b..>
Someone once told me that chocolate is where they put all the other flavors when they have a screwup. I still had a double dip of Death by Chocolate after fencing practice last night. You can eat whatever you want after a workout.:)
