What's your favorite ice cream flavor? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Blackthorn · 08-23-2008, 06:59 PM

Well it's Saturday night and I just had a nice big bowl of this sinful treat and I thought I'd share this thought with ya'll....

If I was given a choice between sex with the woman of my choosing one time and a life time of daily servings of this little delight I would pick the Haagen Dazs! This stuff is good... really good. I thought I liked the Carmel Cone best but after trying this now I'm not sure. Right now I would pick the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. This was the culinary equivalent of an orgasm.

So.... what's your favorite ice cream?

Willravel · 08-23-2008, 07:05 PM

I've never had ice cream better than sex, but I really like mint chocolate chip from Baskin Robbins. And the vanilla. And the chocolate. And the rocky road. And the strawberry.

snowy · 08-23-2008, 07:05 PM

Whatever is in the freezer. Right now it's Lochmead Rocky Road. The Lochmead dairy farm is less than an hour from where I live; I think that makes it even tastier.

Mister Coaster · 08-24-2008, 06:12 PM

Curretly in the freezer... store brand vanilla. [hangs head in shame]

Cynthetiq · 08-24-2008, 06:17 PM

Rocky Road.

I can sit and look over all 31 flavors at Baskin Robbins hem and haw over which flavor but more than likely... I will pick Rocky Road.

shoegirl · 08-24-2008, 06:45 PM

I'm not sure how it's "seasonal" right now, but I just picked up some Pumpkin ice cream at the store!

Glorious. Truly glorious.

Grancey · 08-24-2008, 08:27 PM

My favorite is Blue Bell's Strawberry & Homemade vanilla

SexyCat · 08-25-2008, 07:37 PM

I prefer Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream to Haagen Dazs.

MontanaXVI · 08-25-2008, 08:33 PM

I can DESTROY some Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia, but my all time favorite ice cream HAS to be mint chocolate chip.

I make it whenever I can.

BadNick · 08-25-2008, 08:55 PM

Too many good choices, I can't decide. But I've always liked coffee ice creams so lately I've been very much enjoying Starbucks Java Chip which is very good coffee with very good chocolate chips in it, very good, very

Next week I might move into strawberry...or peach!

Moose Tracks, from Kawartha Dairy

Maybe it's an American thing, but we don't have ice cream with weird names like Moose Tracks or whatever. We just have normal, everyday names for our stuff.

What's in Rocky Road?

The names of ice cream are not so much weird as a creative classification of what you could expect or guess to find within your frozen treat. Americans have a way of stamping their mark on whatever they seek to invent, from simple foods to entire geographic regions.

Rocky Road
Rocky road ice cream is a chocolate flavour, recently ranked tenth in popularity in the United States. Though there are variations on the flavour, it is traditionally composed of chocolate ice cream, nuts and marshmallows.

Poppinjay · 08-26-2008, 04:26 AM

Strictly defining the term, I like pistachio. Otherwise, I'm a freak for sherbet.

PonyPotato · 08-26-2008, 07:09 AM

Coconut almond chip. Hands down. Doesn't matter what brand (UDF, Hershey's, etc.), as long as it has bits of coconut and plenty of nuts. YUM.

What's in Rocky Road?

I didn't realize that Americans also had Rocky Road, Heavenly Hash or even Moose Tracks. Be that as it may, I think that these flavours are becoming more universal in availability. The local dairy (Kawartha) has a list of their ice creams posted online and a description of each, which I will post below.

A brief story on purchase value:

I made a purchse at Ben & Jerry's in the Beaches (Toronto) last July. I got a small (single scoop) cone of Cherry Garcia. the friggin thing cost $4.31 for a small single scoop which they called the children's size. I almost returned it because it was so ridiculously small. I saw a girl leave the store with a waffle cone, with what I termed a normal sized scoop, and asked her what she paid for it. $8.75. !!!!!!!!!!!

On a weekend trip to the cottage, two weeks later, I stopped at the Kawartha Dairy kiosk (Minden, Ontario) and ordered a small cone of rum & raison. I got as much icecream on that cone as you would find in a tub of Haagen Daz. Cost? $2.89. There was so much ice cream that I skipped dinner. Now that's value.

The Ben & Gerry's store in the Beaches went out of business in July. You see, people aren't stupid.

Kawartha Dairy's Icecream flavours:

Moose Tracks is a flavor created by Denali Flavors, who in turn license the flavor to numerous independent dairies and ice cream manufacturers across the United States and Canada:

Quote:

Denali Flavors is the creative force behind some of the most successful ice creams sold in the United States today. Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Wally and June Blume, Denali Flavors has grown to become one of the nation’s leading inventors and marketers of premium flavors for the ice cream industry.

Denali works with a large percentage of the nation’s ice cream producing independent dairies to manufacture an array of regional and store-branded products, including six varieties of Moose Tracks® ice cream and over 30 other flavors, including Bear Claw®, Caramel Caribou®, Mother Lode®, Bear Foot Brownie® and Peanut Butter Iditarod®. The company also has licensing agreements with Mrs. Smith’s® and Andes Candies®. Denali ice cream products are available at most major grocery store chains, ice cream shops and convenience stores nationwide.

Denali Flavors is perhaps best known for its signature flavor, Moose Tracks, which swept the nation in the mid-90s and remains so popular today that it outsells vanilla in some brands. The Moose Tracks brand family has grown through the past decade to include eight flavor varieties – Original Moose Tracks®, Chocolate Moose Tracks®, Cherry Moose Tracks®, Original No-Sugar-Added Moose Tracks®, Extreme Moose Tracks®, Mint Moose Tracks®, Mocha Moose Tracks®, and Malted Moose Tracks® – and a broad line of novelty ice cream products, including cones, ice cream bars and ice cream pies.

In addition to their roles at Denali, owners Wally and June Blume are deeply involved in charitable work worldwide.

Denali Flavors

So depending on where you are, the brand will be different, but the flavor is the same.

And merleniau--the coconut almond chip must be a back East thing; never seen it out here.

Cynthetiq · 08-26-2008, 08:23 AM

almost forgot... if it's at ~~Thrifty's~~ (now defunct) Rite-Aid, it's Chocolate Malted Krunch. Back in the 80's it was still $.10 for a hockeypuck "scoop". $.10!!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!? It was just crazy! Now it's a $1, but still a great bargain compared to any other ice cream stands.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Thrifty ice cream

You know there's going to be a time, 40 years down the line, when many of us will be boring our own grandchildren with stories about how much stuff cost. ("When I was a boy, gas cost less than $2 a gallon, a movie cost $5.50 and a lap dance cost $20!")

But by far the best bargain of my childhood, which I intend to tell my grandkids about every day of their young lives, was Thrifty drug store ice cream. Even in the late 1980s, it was 10 measly cents for a single cone. Ten cents! If you lived a few blocks away from the Thrifty and looked down as you walked, chances were good you would find that much on the way to the store. It was, without a doubt, the best deal of my life.

Drug store historians will argue that Thrifty ice cream still exists, and the brand never died when Rite-Aid bought out the chain a decade ago. But it's dead to me. For one thing, it costs more than a dollar now. That's a 1,000 percent price increase in less than two decades. Even Ed Barbara thinks that's a heartless rip-off of the consumer. I also recently saw someone using a rounded ice cream scoop at a Rite Aid, which is like making a "Dukes of Hazzard" movie and recasting the General Lee as a Prius.

A few observations of/tributes to Thrifty ice cream:

1. The scoop was innovative: I'm not sure what you would call the Thrifty ice cream scoops, which would dispense the frozen treat in little pucks, with 90 degree angles when you looked at the ice cream from the side. As a result a triple scoop would look more like a stack of tires than a snowman. This made the ice cream about 50 percent more stable, which was better if you were a little kid. It was kind of like having training wheels on your cone.

2. The ice cream was edible: Notice I didn't say "good." I often noticed little swirls of red in my mint chip, because the little shards of ice would cut my tongue. But it was more than good enough. The mint chip and especially the chocolate malted crunch were my favorites. The latter flavor was like eating chocolate ice cream with the most delicious packing material on Earth inside.

3. The employees were often cool: Sure, you'd get one or two clerks who rudely made the kids at the ice cream counter wait 15 minutes while they helped the customers who were actually generating a profit for the Thrifty Corp. (One wonders if the 10 cent ice cream might have led to Thrifty's demise.) But you got the impression that the checkers enjoyed the break of heading over to the ice cream counter. After all, they were kids once too. And on really hot days Thrifty would usually have a full-time ice cream person.

I'm no businessman, but if I owned a national chain of stores, I'd fill this void right now. Ten cent ice cream at Kragen Auto Parts?

Thrifty ice cream ruled.

snowy · 08-26-2008, 08:32 AM

Yeah, they so don't serve ice cream at my Rite Aid. That place is a cavern of sadness.

archpaladin · 08-26-2008, 08:45 AM

Coffee oreo. So very delicious.

Starkizzer · 08-26-2008, 09:35 AM

Thrifty ice cream was my saving grace when I was working ovens at Little Caesar's. I loved their peach mango ice cream.

But I think my all time favorite ice cream is Dreyer's Spamoni. Yum!

girldetective · 08-26-2008, 12:31 PM

Mandarin chocolate from Baskin-Robbins (I find it just very occasionally).

I also like Breyer's Vanilla and Tillamook's mint chocochip.

mmm-mm-m

Mister Coaster · 08-29-2008, 10:23 AM

Excellent article, Cynthetiq. I'll be passing that one along.

CinnamonGirl · 08-29-2008, 10:54 AM

mmmm...ice cream.

Peppermint is probably my favorite, but that won't be around for a while... so I'll go with Cookies & Cream, or Butter Pecan.

Really, though, there probably isn't an ice cream I don't like.

vanblah · 08-29-2008, 11:46 AM

Blueberry ice-cream is my favorite. I usually have to make it at home because I can't ever find it in stores. TCBY is on a blue-berry kick right now.

I also like peppermint ... but again, I have to make it at home since Baskin-Robbins only serves it during the Winter. Which doesn't make sense, peppermint ice-cream is AWESOME in the Summer.

Grasshopper Green · 08-29-2008, 05:50 PM

I'm not a big fan of ice cream. When I'm really in the mood though...I like plain old chocolate the best.

ngdawg · 08-29-2008, 06:51 PM

Godiva's Raspberry Chocolate Chunk...
Edy's Cherry Chocolate Chip...
Turkey Hill's Cherry Vanilla Duet...
Edy's used to make THE best combo-vanilla fudge swirl with malt balls. Alas, the last time I saw it was at a sub shop that sold it only by the scoop.

Fotzlid · 08-29-2008, 07:24 PM

Turkey Hill and Edy's are the best ice cream available commercially. Ben & Jerry's is over-rated.
As far as my favorite, anything with peanut butter is good for me.

Ayashe · 09-06-2008, 11:03 AM

When I am really in the mood for something rich, this would be the winner. I don't keep ice cream around very often, probably for very good reason.

noodle · 09-16-2008, 03:09 PM

this makes me sad, since i can't eat ice cream any more.

pistachio is my all time favorite followed by dark cherry chocolate (anywhere), st. augustine mudd (Kilwin's), and freshly made vanilla bean with peaches, and rocky road. i used to love ice cream.

sapiens · 09-16-2008, 03:48 PM

Historically, my favorite ice cream has been vanilla. Lately, it's been either lemon meringue pie or huckleberry ice cream. Both very good, and good together.

StellaLuna · 09-16-2008, 04:35 PM

Cake Batter, babies!!!!

Just J · 09-16-2008, 05:09 PM

A container of Heath Bar Crunch with one jar of hot fudge and one jar of caramel topping, a can of whipped cream and a really big spoon. Pour, pour squirt, scoop, eat - repeat until it's gone. It's all about the toppings with me.

Meditrina · 09-17-2008, 10:19 AM

Now how did I miss a thread about ice cream??? I need to visit the food forum more often.

I love any kind of ice cream that is chocolate based. I love to have things in my ice cream, like choc chips, nuts of any sort, pretzels, etc. etc. IF I have to have vanilla based ice cream, there better be plenty of chocolate syrup around!

Just J Upright Location: Dallas / Fort Worth	A container of Heath Bar Crunch with one jar of hot fudge and one jar of caramel topping, a can of whipped cream and a really big spoon. Pour, pour squirt, scoop, eat - repeat until it's gone. It's all about the toppings with me.

Meditrina Junkie Location: LI,NY	Now how did I miss a thread about ice cream??? I need to visit the food forum more often. I love any kind of ice cream that is chocolate based. I love to have things in my ice cream, like choc chips, nuts of any sort, pretzels, etc. etc. IF I have to have vanilla based ice cream, there better be plenty of chocolate syrup around! __________________ "Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles." ~Alex Karras
