What is the best flavor of ice cream?

[Secret Chief]

Is an emmet and ant? You'd think I would know that being an entomologist, but that one was not in my vocabulary.

Yes. And used by Cornish people in referring to holidaymakers.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I made two threads today. One with a serious subject delivered in a serious manner and this one. There is an underlying seriousness to the way I set it up, but it is covered in chocolate and sprinkled with mirth. So the seriousness is rich in butter fat.

Six pages all ready. Wow!

Apparently, we would all rather have ice cream than be right or learn from our mistakes.

Sounds good to me.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Yes. And used by Cornish people in referring to holidaymakers.

I learned at least two new things today. That's a good day.

 

[Secret Chief]

That is a new one on me. Is it called slug? Or do you kill them with it?

Just imagining the worst thing (but the garlic one is real).

He was butchering that name with such brilliance.

Well, yes -- I did enjoy that. Douche de louche is just about wonderful (and they're all real words -- I'd interpret it as meaning "rinsing out sordids").

But now I have to confess, I screwed up, too: it's Spanish, not Italian as I claimed. Romance was always problematic for me, and that includes languages.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

It depends. For vanilla, vintage Breyer's is hard to beat. I used the word vintage because they used to make their ice cream without any gums. They even had a commercial that made fun of gums.

For Haagen-Daz I go for Vanilla Swiss Almond. For Ben and Jerry's it is Cherry Garcia.

I notice that some of the cheaper ice creams can freezer burn and there is a clear, gummy substance that separates out of them sometimes. I don't eat it often, but when I do, I like to buy the good stuff and leave the gum for Wrigley's or Hubba Bubba.

My mother was big on garlic. More than I realized. Someone said something about how I would sometimes smell like garlic when we were in high school. Of course, it would have been more useful to learn about that then when I could have done something about it. But I do like garlic a lot. I would try it in ice cream.

I noticed that, but I wasn't sure if it was me that was mistaken. But my introduction to that flavor was in Mexican restaurants.

I thought he was awesome. I didn't want @Mestemia to ruin his brilliance by ever finding the correct name.

But I wanted to tell him at the same time. I'm glad you did.

This is what the wife and I had last night. Ice cream doesn't get better for us:

That is one that I like to enjoy.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I had to go out and buy some ice cream. I haven't had any in several months. Cherry Garcia.

Perhaps we should also consider the worst possible ice creams. No fair using something you would never eat, such as car tires, as an ingredient.

My first suggestion: Dill pickle chocolate chip.

You have a future creating Chopped baskets.

I would sometimes smell like garlic

When I was in graduate school, some of the guys were making a meal that called for 1 1/2 cloves of garlic. Not knowing what a clove was and not wanting to seem ignorant, the meal was made with 1 1/2 heads of garlic.

Yummy but only recommended when everyone indulges. Otherwise, all creatures dead and undead, will stay far far away.

A little can go a long way. A lot can last an uncomfortably long time.

Some say it is chocolate, others say vanilla and still others claim strawberry. There are many more flavors. I have even heard of pork ice cream (yes, as weird as that sounds). Which is the hands down, best flavor of ice cream in all the wide universe?

Chocolate Chip Mint !

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Chocolate Chip Mint !

Another good flavor.

I know several people that do not like mint flavor in ice cream, but I enjoy it.

Mint is food of the goddess and chocolate just tastes good. Blend with milk of the sacred cow and you have a beautiful mix.

Cookies and cream.

I haven't soured on lemons and I agree with you. Sorbet is also less fattening. As a group, they add dimension to the choices in frozen dessert.

Yes. Also, at the end of a meal you are fairly full, so something light, refreshing and palate-cleansing is often just the thing, I find. Blackcurrant sorbet can also very good.
