Tosci's Burnt Caramel
My own bittersweet chocolate orange with cocoa nibs

[lifecollage.livejournal.com]

Mint chocolate chip
Pistachio (but not the green stuff)
Any variety of vanilla or chocolate filled with fudge, cookie dough, brownie, pretzel, etc (think B&J's Half Baked or Phish Phood)

Fresh Mint from Christina's this summer. I have never had anything like it before. Lots of other good ones too, but that one sticks in my mind so it is the current favorite.

ben & jerry's white russian, which they don't make anymore
Erikson's mint chip
hmmmmm...

cake batter ice cream as long as it doesn't have chunks in it

(no ice cream with chunks ever, except butter crunch sometimes)

mostly, I like blondes, in the ice cream range, because they mix so well with other things

but chocolates are ok

:)

[cutieperson]

oh, yay! another lover of ice cream without chunks!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Me too!

/aol

Seriously, though, chunks are *distracting*.

[keyne.livejournal.com]

I loathe most kinds of chunks, especially nuts and <shudder>bubblegum<\shudder>. I will, however, totally make exceptions for the dark chocolate in Friendly's Vienna Mocha Chunk, or the soft ginger cookies in Kimball's Ginger-Molasses.

I tend to prefer flavors with coffee, dark chocolate, or fall baking spices, though I'm perfectly happy with vanilla-and-chocolate-syrup, or dulce de leche.

I knew bbbsg was unfond of chunks in ice cream- I hadn't grokked you were of this camp. And now 'song is on the list. This is very useful information. *nod*

[bryttan.livejournal.com]

I'm kind of anti-icecream-with-chunks as well. :)

Ah, you ask me about ice cream? Let me tell you about ice cream!

[kebbykate.livejournal.com]

Friendly's forbidden chocolate rocks the house, dark, rich, and smooth. I haven't found a better competitor for sheer chocolateyness.

I like several varieties of chocolate with peanut butter: Baskin Robbins, Friendly's, and Turkey Hill all produce very acceptable varieties.

Our local ice cream palace makes a fabulous ginger ice cream, a basic cream with chunks of candied ginger to zing you pleasantly. I love this in the summer with a good fruit pie, the fruit, creamy, and ginger work marvelously together.

Also, probably the best ice cream on the planet can be found in Newtown and Bethel, Connecticut at the two outlets of Dr. Mike's. (This place gets into national guides to ice cream.) They only have about 10 flavors out at any given time, but they are rich and made perfectly. The strawberry is creamy with perfectly frozen fresh berries that you can bite into safely. Their house original flavor is called Chocolate lace, which is a basic plain cream with a local (Danbury, CT) made candy called Chocolate Lace mixed in. Chocolate lace is a simply sugar syrup candy poured in threads and coated in dark chocolate. I try to make the trip once or twice a year... It's about 15 minutes off 1-84 and worth the trip!

[mumble] years ago, the real Steve's Ice Cream (which used to be roughly where O'Naturals is, back when there was Only One) made a cinnamon ice cream that I was willing to walk from Tufts to get; it was an orgasm made frozen. That's still the metafavorite, but it is no more. Coffee is the currently most eaten ice cream; if it has chocolate incorporated in it (fidge, chunks, whatever), it's better still.

Steve's Ice Cream was such a treat. Now just memories.

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

Richardson's Purple Cow

[deadwinter.livejournal.com]

Vanilla Swiss Almond

[dani-namaste.livejournal.com]

I've always had a weakness for Strawberry, although I have to say that since discovering Toscanini's grapefruit and tequila sorbet, I've been searching for more of it.

[beah.livejournal.com]

I remember my first taste of Haagen Daaz's new "Belgian chocolate chocolate chip", when it came out, as the Platonic ideal of ice cream.

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

ooh, that makes me remember the very first Godiva icecreams, before they reformulated and repackaged. Now they're just ripoffs of Haagen Daz, but originally they were great, their caramel chocolate pecan to die for.

[mmayhem.livejournal.com]

I miss Bovinity Divinity from B&J

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Many things that include combinations of: chocolate, peanut butter, caramel. Ben & Jerry's made a "Chubby Hubby" ice cream for a while that was something like vanilla with chocolate swirls and peanut-butter-filled pretzels. Unbelievably vulgar and good.

I get a real kick out of Toscanini's "Sweet Cream" flavor -- no vanilla, just cream and sugar -- paired with a cup of very hot, very strong, unsweetened black coffee.

[cutieperson]

Chubby Hubby totally still exists. the Ben and Jerry's site even has a flavor locator so you can find it near you.

[lifecollage.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, the QC on Chubby Hubby seems to have slipped. I got a pint a few weeks ago and....there was no there there. No deepness of flavor. Worse yet, the pretzels were crumbly and the peanut butter sub-par.

Disappointing, all around.

Now, Half Baked on the other hand.....

[taura-g.livejournal.com]

Chocolate and Orange Sherbert

[tobi.livejournal.com]

Cookies and cream!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Pumpkin! Cinnamon! Smores! Peanut butter chocolate! Um, lots of things. :) No fruit, no nuts, no vanilla. Chocolate = teh awesome. Ditto coffee.

Now I want ice cream!

[ceo]

I still mourn Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough.

I've had some pretty stunning flavors at Baitcon; particularly Malted Milk Ball. That one somebody needs to make commercially.

I made Drambuie ice cream once; that came out really well (though next time I'll use more boiled-down Drambuie and less straight, for more flavor and more frozen-ness)

[cos]

lots of weird random flavors that appear once or twice at Baitcon.
And sorbets: watermelon, kiwi, concord grape...

[cloeigrrl.livejournal.com]

White cholocate cherry vanilla/cholocate ice cream. Ben & Jerry's use to make it but I have not seen it in ages.

MMMMMmmmmm ok thanks now I want ice cream :)

[manderwoos.livejournal.com]

Ben and Jerry's will be the death of me as they've sent all my favorites to the flavor graveyard:

From Russia with buzz: Sweet Vermont cream loaded with chunks of Georgia peaches. Packed with pieces of peaches where the north meets the south, this flavor created plenty of sighs in plenty of mouths.

KaBERRY KAboom: Stripes of strawberry and blueberry ice cream with white fudge and cracklin' candies. What a blast, we noted! A great idea until our mouths all exploded.

SNAFU: (Strawberries Naturally All Fudged Up) Strawberry and vanilla ice creams with strawberries, fudge-covered shortbread cookies and fudge and strawberry swirls. It was a little mixed up and quite a bit twisted and when we sent it away, there were many who missed it.

Half-Baked, Phish Food, Dave Matthews Band Magic Brownies, Chubby Hubby, and Dublin Mudslide are all good for a few bites and then they sit in my freezer for a year and I throw them out.

[lizzielizzie.livejournal.com]

Moosetracks (vanilla ice crema with chocolate cover peanut butter bits). Chocolate chip. Boysenberry.

[fenicedautun.livejournal.com]

You want my ice cream preferences?

OK, packaged easily available I love Starbucks Mud Pie (cookies 'n' cream with coffee ice cream and added fudge, yum!), Phish Food, and Haagen Dazs Mexican Chocolate. Less available, Dreyers Dreamery Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and B&J Triple Caramel Cup.

Boston ice cream shop flavors: Cristina's Morello Cherry Sorbet and Mexican Coffee (coffee with cinnamon, never saw it again!). Generally love anything coffee with chocolate/caramel/marshmallow. Often will go to Cristina's and have coffee ice cream with hot fudge, marshmallow, choccie chips and sprinkles.

B&J's Chocolate Raspberry Swirl (no longer carried often)

Also, a nice Blueberry Cream

New York Super Fudge Chunk
Guinness ( from Toscanini's )

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

Banana chocolate chip (Quality Dairy, central Michigan)
New York Super Fudge Chunk (Ben & Jerry's)
Guinness (Toscanini's)
Sweet cream (Tosci's and Rancatore's, both brothers make a good one; I tend to add junior mints to it)
