Do you like it, and does the icecream man come to your neck of the woods?

Lastly, what is your favourite flavour, please?

SueDonim Wed 11-Aug-21 20:30:48

I tried Turkish Delight flavour ice cream last summer. Don’t do it! grin

MissAdventure Wed 11-Aug-21 20:31:37

Liquorice sounds intriguing.

Blossoming Wed 11-Aug-21 20:37:30

Yes
No
Pistachio

nadateturbe Wed 11-Aug-21 20:44:20

Yes I like it but too much sugar unfortunately.

nadateturbe Wed 11-Aug-21 20:44:52

Our ice cream van only comes twice a week, I`m his only customer down this bit of the bank. It`s made just a few hundred yards down the road from us, but they only do vanilla. From elsewhere I like mint choc chip and chocolate, definitely not strawberry. And I just have a plain cone, no flake.

MissAdventure Wed 11-Aug-21 21:10:39

Our ice cream man does a scoop special.
That's every icecream he has, in layers, with a bot of everything on top!

MissAdventure Wed 11-Aug-21 21:12:10

A bot?
I don't want one of those on top. blush
I've reduced the font size on my phone.
Obviously time to make it huge again.

At the moment I have a thing for Kelly‘s Cornish ice cream and fresh raspberries ?

Marydoll Wed 11-Aug-21 21:17:49

No ice cream van here. We are too posh ?

In Scotland, tablet ice cream or mint chocolate chip.
In Italy, dulce de leche

No van comes round where I live. I like lots of flavours. Close to where I once worked, there’s an old fashioned ice cream parlour/sweetie shop that sells the nicest Vanilla I’ve ever tasted. The shop changed owners a couple of years ago, and thankfully, the ice cream still tastes as good as ever.
Of tubs, I especially like Mackies, either Honeycomb or Vanilla. But my all time favourite is Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food, I’m convinced it has some kind of narcotic in it.

TillyTrotter Wed 11-Aug-21 21:19:18

You are an expert on ice cream Chewbacca. ?
My favourite is strawberry. Yes we have an ice cream van that comes around especially at weekends.

Chewbacca Wed 11-Aug-21 21:21:28

Whaaaat??? How many layers is that? Round here that could be 18 layers high!

MissAdventure Wed 11-Aug-21 21:22:49

Probably about 10 or 12 I reckon.
The bubblegum flavour is a bit strange.

Callistemon Wed 11-Aug-21 21:22:58

I hear him a few streets away but he never comes up our road.

Don't like Mr Whippy icecream.

I like Mackie's, varian and Kelly's Cornish clotted cream icecream.

Welsh Gold (no good for the teeth ? but very good).

Callistemon Wed 11-Aug-21 21:23:26

A Magnum will do if I'm desperate.

MissAdventure Wed 11-Aug-21 21:24:25

I like a feast.
The nutty one.
I used to like Fabs when I was little.

Chewbacca Wed 11-Aug-21 21:25:21

I'm on me way MissAdventure, get 'em in!

Judes icecream 500ml Chocolate and Cherry was on offer in Sainsburys the other week. I bought some with my online delivery intending to eat a small amount daily and save some for GCs but it was so lovely before I knew it I'd eaten the whole tub. grin I didnt even feel guilty, just happy.

muse Wed 11-Aug-21 21:42:25

Love it. Buy Kelly's clotted cream and their honeycombe one when they are on offer.

Morrison's salted caramel is delicious too Grannywannynanny. Same price. They were doing 2 packs for £1.50 a while back. I got as many in the freezer as I could.

No van for miles but I do see Kelly's van on a beach I go to the family when they are down here. 99 every time.

Favourite flavour - Rum and Raisin. Best I ever had was is from an Italian parlour in Falmouth.

MissAdventure

I would like to try lavender flavour.
