Cherry for me, my grandma would always have it and it was always delicious.
(I ask this as I am eating cherry ice cream)
Vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles (or jimmies for certain nor-easterners). I even have one tattooed on my arm as part of a boardwalk sleeve.
Boysenberry. It’s weirdly become very rare at least where I live. It used to be quite common
Oh, and Snickers ice cream. It conjures up images of vacationing in Holland or Denmark and trying to fish for crabs with a cord and a cracked open clam. For some reason I feel like the clam tastes like the caramel from the Snickers.
Orange sherbet in a cone. My grandfather used to get it for me after taking me to the park to play when I was around 4-6 or so. He passed away almost a decade ago and every time I have some, I think of him. He was the best.
Orange sherbet was also a thing my step dad gave me, he’d always be excited to bring it home.
“Lilly with nuts.” Italian ices
What kind of nuts?
Thank you!
Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ. It was the highlight of my summers as a kid.
chip’n’mint
Same. I didn’t care for it much. My dad always got the good stuff, vanilla.
I learned to like it because of Johnny Test, it still is great.
Lemon in an absolutely tasteless cone. I don’t have a specific image in my head except for the ice in one of those factory made cones.
Plus the song Gelato Al Limon by Paolo Conte. My parents had it on cassette and we would hear it in the car all the time.
None, the closest thing would be cheap chocolate spread with some medicine (we didn’t have a lot of sweets at home)
soft serve or soft ice. back in the country (GDR) where I grew up there was no other ice cream than that.
Plain old vanilla. We used to get those big gallon buckets of ice cream cause they were cheap.
Tutti Frutti. I mean, I hated it then and probably wouldn’t like it as an adult but it seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid.
Boysenberry
that’s also great for meat, minus the ice cream part
What is it made of?
I would imagine boysenberries. 😅
Ooo, That’s super cool!
It’s like, all the berries combined.
Honeycomb, from the northern Irish ice cream shop that was Queen Elizabeth’s favourite. The only shop they ever made outside of NI was in Windsor as the queen liked it.
Did it involve honeycombs?
Whisky & Ginger, from the front at Whitby Harbour.
Ooo, that sounds like a smacker.
How does it melt?
