My favorite ice cream flavor is

only a pint a day?
lol
(I don't buy ice cream much as I have NO control)

Other - Chocolate Marshmallow.
I also like the soft-serve 'twist' ice cream.

Call me weird, but I've never been a big ice-cream fan.
When I was a kid and all the other kids got excited about having ice-cream....I didn't want any!

I've had some really good 'specialty' ice-cream flavors in the past, though I never eat much of it.

Hey, Nan, I don't think you're weird at all! I only like vanilla because it makes a suitable base for that lovely blackberry dessert wine...:-) Left to my own devices, it wouldn't be in the house. But my hubby likes it and he's also the one who found that yummy blackberry wine. He's definitely a bad influence!
Funny, my mom and my brother just loved ice cream. My mom would walk a mile and a half (she didn't drive) to get to the ice cream place to get her "fix." She once replaced her refrigerator because it didn't keep the ice cream cold enough!

I said that I like them all, but upon further thinking, I decided that my favorite is mint chocolate chip. Like 4paws, I don't buy any though, because I have no control (and no metabolism).

I'm with ya on that Kelli.

AnnetteM, Willowwasp, 39654, Ceejaytown, we have a plurality.
After 50 years of taste-testing MANY kinds,

Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla wins hands-down - -
even over Haagen-Daaz and Ben and Jerrys and Bops!

Although Blue Bell Blueberry cobbler is a good runner-up. Never met any other kind of ice cream I didn't like, either.

In Bryan, Texas near Texas A&M University is a small creamery that makes Blue Bell Ice Cream. All their ice creams are outstanding but Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla is so good one can eat it for 20 or 30 years and never tire of it. It is really special. Sold throughout Texas. I dont know about elsewhere.

I really wish they would take this poll down - every time I see it I want ice cream LOL.

PS I know Blue Bell well from my Texas days - it is wonderful!

I have just entered Blue Bell ice cream in the Great Book of Lists for future tasting!

Butter Pecan.

....considering moving to Texas.... lol

Coffee varieties with chocolate and/or nuts are my favorite.
Blue Bell's Mocha Almond Fudge is what I usually prefer when I can find it
followed by Haagen Das Coffee (the best coffee ice cream, though I often add hot fudge)
and then Baskin Robbins Jamocha Almond Fudge (the one that introduced me to Coffee Ice Cream as a kid)

And believe it or not, I don't drink coffee - don't really like it without lots of milk and sugar. :-)

Sweezel - those are my second choices!! :-)

BTW, Blue Bell is made in Brenham, Texas - not far from the Antique Rose Emporium, another great Texas institution.

I love so many flavors... vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coffee, black walnut, butter pecan, rum raisin, rocky road, etc.

ceejay, one of these days I am going to take a weekend trip down there and visit both!

I voted "I don't like..."
Truth is I love it but I'm deathly allergic to milk products including Kraft singles, ice cream, whipped cream, milk, raw cheeses, riccota etc. Ages cheeses are fine Thank God!
I use soy milk, yogurt and stay away from those others... I crave ice cream but I light up like a renegade nuclear plant if I ingest it. Ugly.

I pick Butter pecan. About the only way I get it is when I buy it at the grocery cause most ice cream parlors don't carry it around here. Everything else but that.

i dont really like much ice cream and im not a cake fan!! give me PIE!!!

if i have to have ice cream butter pecan!

c'mon pecan praline. hard to find but i love it.

Caramel Cashew. Makes me want some now but it's a little early in the day to start eating ice cream.

I put "I love them all" because I'm pregnant and haven't found an ice cream I haven't liked... but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Huckleberry, and you can't find that here in Arizona... :(
Brittany

Gave it up when I joined Curves, but Häagen-Dazs Strawberry was my fav.

I like mint chocolate chip

Cherries Garcia--yummmmm

blue bell is available in Tennessee too, but since Texas also has all the great rose nurseries , I may move to texas , too!! LOL

Hey, all you Texans that enjoy Blue Bell. I like it, too, but usually go for HEB's Creamy Creations (store brand). Really good, and a bit easier on the budget. I always have Strawberry Cheesecake and Caramel Pecan Turtle in the freezer.

Yuska

how about just plain ol vanilla? homemade vanilla! if i can't get that, its Cherry Garcia:)

savagegardener - Come on down! :-)

Black raspberry.

#1 Chocolate in any form
#2 Peach...especially homemade peach.. (the amaretto/peach mentioned above sounded to die for)
#3 Turner Black Walnut

We only keep vanilla in the house so we are not tempted to eat the whole carton...and vanilla is good too...as is butter pecan, strawberry, mocha mint......

(I've just gained 3 pounds thinking about this)

Mint Chocolate Chip

I love[d] Haagen Dazs Peaches and Cream, but I cannot find this flavor anymore. Perhaps, they stopped selling it. Snug, :o)

I voted pecan praline, but I really don't like ice cream - I don't like cold things - my teeth are too sensitive. I do like pecans, though.

Ben and Jerry's 'Cherry Garcia' is my very favorite. I even like the frozen yogurt version they make almost as much as the 'loaded' stuff. But it's ALL good if it's ice cream. And I agree about Blue Bell. Purity may be a 'southern' brand too, but it's good. Someone wrote about an Amaretto Pecan above...I seem to remember that one too. I agree - we'll just have to go out and get those ingredients and make our own!!

39654, were you from TX? Or are you able to get BB up there?

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=6690249

marie, I used to enjoy that up in Michigan but the south doesn't get it :(


----I voted don't care for ice cream. I am picky when it comes to desserts. I figure it's seriously got to be out of this world for me to risk carrying it around with me the rest of my life LOL and most just don't make it to that category. I like lots of chunks of chocolates, fudges, caramels, candied nuts in mine. I've had homemade ice cream done by hand and also cranked in a machine, I've yet to taste one that's good.

----Brand matters. Blue Bunny is really just so-so unless you get their "premium" top of the line brand and that's pretty good, as well as BB. HEB even has a good brand! I like their birthday cake one.

But take it or leave it, I generally have the will power to refuse.

Butter Pecan,non of the rest really matter.LOL,Edge

So cute that butter pecan made the list on the survey. Must be something I don't know about :)

Daquiri Ice ... made by Baskin-Robbins
