I hate Japanese Ice cream, and fo r that matt er most of their sweets.
Wah? I love Pocky. I love doorayaki. I even love those powdered red bean buns they serve with macha tea. Some have been known to choke on'em. I also like macha ice (green tea ice). What about red bean soup? Yummy.

strawberry flavou any kind of ice cream as long as it's strawberry organic strawberry ice-cream is nice too. I prefer my ice cream without anything on it but if i do have something it would have to be strawberry syrup.

banana split is yummy!

A few nights ago I found an old container of ice cream in the freezer, it was left over from when I this boyfriend and this one time that we bought some ice cream. It was one of those ice cream containers that has two varieties of ice cream in it, this one was half Vanilla and half Goody Goody Gum Drops. But when I found it there was only Vanilla left. Vanilla was my half of the ice cream purchase. So I ate it.

rainy- eating ice cream can be tough, no?

I have been eating ice cream everyday, just before I go to bed...

― Julio Desouza, Sunday, 4 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yeah.

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.

― Martin Skidmore, Monday, 5 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

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

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.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 14 July 2003 10:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

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!!!

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 14 July 2003 10:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

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!

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 14 July 2003 10:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

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!)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 14 July 2003 11:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

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 (a2lette), Monday, 14 July 2003 11:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 14 July 2003 11:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 05:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― Karen, Tuesday, 15 July 2003 06:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

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!

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 10:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 10:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 10:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 11:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― Nellie (nellskies), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 12:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 13:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 13:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 14:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

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....

― Vicky (Vicky), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

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

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 14:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

"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.

― LC, Wednesday, 24 March 2004 12:07 (twenty years ago) link

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

ICE CREAM IS ESSENTIAL

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:20 (twenty years ago) link

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!

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:26 (twenty years ago) link

two words: aero honeycomb.

you already did.

jesus isn't looking, I swear.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:32 (twenty years ago) link

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.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:34 (twenty years ago) link

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

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:35 (twenty years ago) link

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 (ktepi), Saturday, 27 March 2004 04:37 (twenty years ago) link

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*
