OT Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

[andalusian]

For traditional ice-cream - Pistachio.

I also love Faluda (some people spell it Falooda) - which in east Africa is made with Pistachio ice-cream, vermicelli noodles and rose water.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Burgerville is now offering plant based ice cream sandwiches.

Sounds like something you'd love.

BARF!

As long as it's soy free, I'll be down

I have made coconut milk ice cream. My nephew is allergic to dairy.

 

[Lanny]

I'll add that I like Tillamook brand the best. I used to like Alpenrose, but I'm not sure if it changed or it's not still around?

I worked with a guy who owned a Baskin-Robbin store in Tacoma. He got all of his ice cream from Alpenrose and made regular visits to Portland to get it.

Give your nephew orange sherbet.

Burgerville has the best soft serve. Their strawberry shortcake sundaes are the bomb when they are the seasonal item

The best soft serve I've ever had I got from the local Izzy's in Hillsboro. Can't stand most of their buffet but I can eat endless soft serve vanilla cones. For one thing it's really super cold.

 

[crandc]

Give your nephew orange sherbet.

I also have made raspberry sherbet.

Tillamook is the best

 

[Chris Craig]

Dairy Queen dipped cones are a classic from way back that I still think are amazing

I used to go to a Dairy Queen stand when I was a kid. It wasn't a sit in restaurant. Just a stand. And I would get those.

Not a sweet tooth guy, but my wife loves that stuff. My uncle's wife owns an ice cream shop in Thailand and whenever we visit, that's the first place the wife and kids go to.

In Taiwan we go for shaved ice made from fruit puree' ....you pick out the flavor and make it yourself on a freezing cold grill after your meal which is cooked on the same grill...amazing tool can cook or freeze with the flip of a switch....it's called BING in mandarin which basically means cold. College areas are packed with these things...hot pot and grill and stir freeze your own desert after they come along and clean the hot grill...you can buy containers of the fruit ice at the market as well if you don't want to go out for it.

 

[riverman]

Just thought I'd mention having grown up on a dairy farm that Sherbet and Ice Milk are not ice cream!

 

[Lanny]

I also have made raspberry sherbet.

When I was a little boy between the ages of about 5 and nearly 12 I was addicted to raspberry rippled ice cream so much that I craved it above ALL else. To this day I like to juice some raspberries and mix them with vanilla ice cream so that the raspberry juice is swirled into the ice cream in streaks. OMG that brings up wonderful memories of me, my dog, my ice cream, my bike, my fishing pole and my swim trunks and being ten years old in Oswego.

Wife had this last time we were in Vegas:

Try cherries jubilee.

[crandc]

I made flaming cherries jubilee at a dinner party. It was a hit.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Daiquiri ice

B-R’s used to have a seasonal
Watermelon ice. That was my jam. Easy-going sweet tarts in the shape of seeds. So good.

I made flaming cherries jubilee at a dinner party. It was a hit.

When I was working at Boeing I kept two secrets from my wife:
1. I obtained my professional engineer's license from the state of Washington;
2. I learned some rudimentary reading and speaking Korean.
I took her to a what was once a great restaurant, Inn at the Key in Jantzen Beach. After a great dinner and cocktails, we ordered Cherries Jubilee. Before they came to our table to prepare it, I sprung my two secrets. She was ecstatic as was I when I saw how happy it made her. I used my professional crimp to crimp my license number on a napkin just for fun. Then I spoke some new Korean to her which was different than the Korean shehad already taught me. This was topped off with aa gentleman in a tuxedo who prepared and lit the brandy on fire just before serving us. The perfect evening with window seats along the Columbia river.

My cousin married the heir to the Umpqua fortune. It’s okay ice cream but it ain’t no Tillamook.

I made a mistake with Umpqua....the best ice cream is Lochmead from Dairy Mart, not Umpqua...Lochmead rules!

The best ice cream, hands down, is Haagen Dazs. Alpenrose is not bad, though.

Lochmead....! and they don't sell it by the teaspoon like Haagen Dazs.....!

 

[Lanny]

Look, crandc likes Haagen Dazs, I rest my case.

 

[riverman]

Look, crandc likes Haagen Dazs, I rest my case.

it's great ice cream...just overpriced and really skimpy on the portions.....it's not better than Lochmead in my view.

 

[crandc]

Look, crandc likes Haagen Dazs, I rest my case.

I do. But my homemade is better.

 

[Lanny]

I do. But my homemade is better.

I think we all know that.
I once made some homemade peach ice cream that turned out outstanding.

 

[crandc]

Peaches are ripening.

 

[Lanny]

Peaches are ripening.

Is there anything more delicious than a ripe peach? No, there isn't unless maybe it's homemade peach ice cream.

 

[crandc]

A ripe peach fresh off the tree. Quick rinse. Eat still warm from the sun.

 

[Shaboid]

Do Dippin' Dots count as ice cream? I can't remember the last time I had some of that. Maybe 20 years ago or so.

I had some about eight years ago, nothing to write home about.
