Ice Cream, now and then

[needshave]

Whats your favorite ice cream flavor? As a child, as an adult?

 

[C'est Moi]

Chocolate. Then and now. (But I will eat just about any kind.)

Love blue bell Mexican praline but they are not making that flavor right now. Chocolate as a kid but any blue bell now.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Vanilla

 

[hearlady]

Chocolate, Pistachio, Coffee, Toasted Almond, Vanilla.

 

[Pappy]

Vanilla but coffee is a close second.

Now in no particular order.....strawberry, chocolate, and sherbet.

When I was a pup I recall helping make banana flavored ice cream at home that was really good.....I'd turn the crank while my stepdad drank beer and added the salt and ice as needed till he saw that my arm was about ready to fall off and then he'd sit his beer down and give me a short break.

As a kid, any ice cream I could get ahold of was my favorite. As an adult, Publix Blackjack Cherry tops the list.

Then, chocolate.
Now, salted caramel vanilla or coffee.

I have found I like particular flavors in certain brands.Right now I'm on a chocolate chip mint binge from Weiss. Friendly's Forbidden chocolate and plain vanilla from Haagen daz. Years ago I loved butter almond. I don't see that much anymore, they seem to make more butter pecan.

Ruth, I’m curious about Butter Almond, I have never seen or heard of it before. Did it taste like butter pecan only with almonds spotted through it?

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Butter almond was made just like butter pecan but only using almonds. I found the almonds to have a more mellow flavor than the pecans and the ice cream a bit more buttery. I found this photo on the internet. I'm not sure if they make it anymore or if it was the brand I had years ago.

Thanks for the information on Butter Almond. I’m going to try that. I have some Caramel Ginger Snap. Excellent.

Butter pecan and vanilla...

 

[tortiecat]

Never came across an ice cream that I didn't like!

 

[Falcon]

Rocky Road

Butter Pecan

Almost anything else.

I vave some every evening.

Chocolate and chocolate

 

[SeaBreeze]

As a young child I liked vanilla or strawberry, didn't like chocolate at all. Now my favorite available ice cream is Baskin Robbin's Pralines and Cream, they used to have Creme de' Caramel which was my fav, but they discontinued it.

Ruth, as a teen I loved the Breyer's Butter Almond it tasted so good. I really didn't like almonds, but they were tiny and gave the ice cream such a smooth flavor and texture. Nowadays, the only Butter Almond I've seen is Tilamook, it's half chocolate and half butter almond.....but not nearly as good as the Breyer's from back in the day.

 

[MarkinPhx]

As a kid -Chocolate
Now-Salted Caramel

 

[JFBev]

As a kid, the "Creamsicles" (those orange popsicle)
Now, cookie-dough ice cream.
Always, chocolate

 

[helenbacque]

Chocolate then, chocolate now.

 

[Lethe200]

When I was a kid: strawberry

Now: Black Walnut on the extremely rare times I can find a premium brand. Don't like the standard stuff with all that air whipped into it, ugh. Otherwise, butter pecan and maybe coconut pineapple, both from Häagen-Dazs.

Spouse loves Talenti's Alphonse Mango, the least sweetened and most like fresh mangoes we've found so far!
