ICE CREAM

I like strawberry best but it is surprisingly hard to find, at least at a reasonable price, so I generally buy vanilla which is very cheap indeed.

I just read that Sainsbury's six top selling ice creams are all Vanilla?!?!?!?!? what fresh madness is that?

I am a new convert to Phish food, dodgy hippy connotations aside, it is princely.

Chris! Hello! I add to From Russia With Buzz, also Cherry Garcia and Baileys Hagen Daz and an ice cream I bought from a small shop by Lincoln Cathedrall which actually tasted like apple pie, not just apples. I'm not sure jow it works, but it tastes love

Strawberry, mint chocolate chip, coffee heath bar crunch, oreo cookie, cookies and cream, and in the freezer now but not yet sampled: cherry vanilla.

Gianduja, Coffee, Vanilla, cookies and cream.

Italian ices esp. Benfaremo and esp. peach and lemon. Sorbets esp. Ciao Bella and esp. blackberry.

Latin Playboys' "Lemon 'n Ice"

without question, the best ice cream can be found here:

mark h. i was in oxford for the first time in like 10 years and i met that cow! highlight of the weekend for me.

my faves are mint chocolate cookie and coconut. mint chocolate milk shakes rule.

I could eat ice cream until it came out of my nose. in fact I often do

however, ice cream that has more chunks and gunge and foreign bodies in it than actual ice cream = dud.

MARINE ICES!!!

Colette, there are now two G&Ds in Oxford - the original George & Davis in Little Clarendon Street and the newer George & Danver in what was the St Aldates Cafe. The latter is bigger and more central and has decor which includes grass for the cow to eat (wooden spiky bits painted green), but the original one has mooing competitions. If yr moo is judged the best you win free ice cream!

Ice cream rules! We had home made ice creams in the garden yesterday with waffle cornets & neopolitan ice cream. num! (n.b. neither the ice cream or cornets were homemade - just putting them together was our inspired genius!)

thanks Mark H...i'm going to a wedding in oxford on saturday, so maybe i'll try to get into town early to have a cone and check out the cow stuff a bit more. is it bad that i'm wondering if that will be more fun than the wedding itself?

Colette - do not feel guilty, cows & ice cream, there is no more fun to be had!!

I had mint chocolate chip ice cream last night. Yum!

I miss miretti in Turin. I still have not found a better ice cream parlour.

There can be only one... McConnell's Turkish Coffee.

The ragnarock of coffee ice cream

Rum and raisin, mint chip, jaffa, mocha, coffee cream, I'd kill for any of them!

I am sitting in a humid, sweltering, unairconditioned office. Just bring me ice cream. Any ice cream. This is a challenge for west end-based ILXors - email me and I'll tell you where to bring it. Thanks!

NB any ice cream made of dairy. If anyone tries anything with that soy crap, why, I'll...

mark, you should work here. it's also unairconditioned, but when it gets really hot, my boss buys ice cream for us all. nothing too fancy, just magnums and similar, but it is such a nice treat to have once in a while.

Did I mention that our cafe is loaded up with buckets of the stuff for free ;o)

and fresh buckets too, which is always a pleasure

The best place is on Lygon St which is just like in italy cause they make it fresh every day, my favourite is Ferrero Rocher but I liked the fig as well. IT was good, I had fun.

Well Collette, I'm out of work and very clever and stuff, so I'd be happy to! Where are you, and when do I start?

Um, the rest of you, I don't mean to nag but could you get your butts over here? I'm wilting, yo.

I had a scoop of toffee creme, a scoop of banoffee and a scoop of strawberry cheesecake. And I'm still wilting.

somebody is here right now with free ice cream. I just went vegan. *sigh*

I'm freezing, co our air-conditioning is far too efficient. I had to have a soup at lunch to warm myself up, and I need to buy some tights so i can put them on when i get into work.

Still, I'm sure I'd like an ice cream as soon as the heat hits me when I walk out the door.

One of the takeaways in Walthamstow have a freezer with Kulfi to takeaway, I think by the time I get out of the vicky line this afternoon I'll be needing one....

Teeny, turn back! There's still time! I hope you took one anyway, to, uk, look after it for someone else...

it must be nice having one's own Underground line.

I can't remember the name of the ice cream i had the last time I was at G&Ds (see reference upthread), but it had brandy in it, that much I do remember. It was huge too.

Hey Annabelle!

"Ice Creeeeam!" was one of the dumbest things I used to say at when listening to techno buildups. "Sugaaaaa!" and "Get Ready For The Paaaaain!" too. I should have been shot.

Wow, suddenly techno buildups sound GRATE! I will try and emulate this technique at Club FT tonight, if it isn't copyrighted, or anything.

Noone regulates your world but you! Go for it tigerstyle!

Peter is all powerful, yes

ICE CREAM IS ESSENTIAL

I'll bet some creamy milk chocolate ice cream, with thumb-sized chunks of chocolate-covered maple cream, would be really spectacularly good. But dammit, it's Lent, and I said I wouldn't!

two words: aero honeycomb.

you already did.

jesus isn't looking, I swear.

But I'd already bought the Aero honeycomb for post-Lenten use! The ice cream, I'd have to go buy the ingredients and all. It'll wait. I don't have any maple candy (that's what I meant, not maple cream) right now anyway. But it sounds good.

dammit, yes it does. you're killin' me here.

You could do it yourself with Breyer's extra-creamy milk chocolate ice cream and some chocolate-covered maple creams (American Spoon makes them). Damn, that'd be like the best sundae ever. With pecans! Roasted sugar-covered pecans still hot from the oven.

Tep, you're killin' me here.

Ice cream -- hm, well, right now I'm really craving a DQ-style banana split, but having it be an all-strawberry affair instead of the three flavors it normally puts. Complete with chopped nuts on top. Mmm.

I'd go on and fantasize about all the super-rich chocolatey goodness that comprises many of my favorite flavors/kinds of ice cream, but seeing as though I'm developing a pimple just thinking about it, I won't.

I do, however, highly resent the implications made early on in this thread (ha, three years ago!) that Taco Bell = Mexican. That's just crazy talk. Taco Bell bears little relation to actual Mexican food. And I would adore the opportunity to bring actual Mexican food to Europe, but I don't have the funds to do so. Drat.

*sniffles, shuffles off to sleep*

where are some good places to get ice cream, in london?

Rose Petal ice cream and Salty Caramel ice cream .. oooh, I could get some today!

Sorry, gareth.. back to you.

Dunno about London but the kiosk at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh has delicious ice scream. As does Luca's in Musselburgh and Morningside.
