It tastes like bin juice smells.

I think it’s a shame it’s got raisins in. I’ve not had it since I was a child, but I remember enjoying the rum ice cream and having to eat around the raisins. I’ve not bothered since. I think someone needs to invent just rum ice cream. Or even better, rum choc chip 😋

I rarely see it for sale these days! I thought it had gone out of fashion!

NigellaAwesome · 02/09/2025 21:22

I didn’t know they still sold it. Last time I came across it was in the 70’s. It was my sister’s favourite, along with tutti frutti. Hated them both (flavours, not DSis) and will never convert.

SomethingFun · 02/09/2025 21:22

I like it, and coffee and mint choc chip. Not a fan of tutti frutti but I’ve never had a proper one, just gino ginelli in the 80s/90s so I’ll reserve judgement. The world would be a big pile of shite if there was only a few ice cream flavours to choose from.

WonderingWanda · 02/09/2025 21:18

I don't think I've tried it since I was a kid and thought it was a revolting taste and it was full if raisins which is a hideous thing to do to ice cream. Maybe I should try it again because I actually like rum now I am an adult...or maybe I will just have a mojito. In fact Mojito sorbet might be nicer!

GreenSmithing · 02/09/2025 21:17

I love it and rarely see it these days. Can't get behind mint ice cream though. Tastes like toothpaste

ApplepieGirl1 · 02/09/2025 21:15

Ah I adore rum and raisin and have a suspicion that I am rather more interesting than most, so perhaps you are right OP 😁

Gymbunny2025 · 02/09/2025 21:15

I don’t like rum or raisins on their own but do like the ice cream!!

Also don’t drink coffee as can’t stand it but do like coffee cake and tiramisu

im weird 😂

I always thought that I was being really boring when I ordered rum and raisin, will always be my number one pick.
I really miss our Thorntons shop, it was the only place locally that you could rely on to have the R & R

I worked for Thornton's when I was student, I hated the smell of rum and raisin when I had to clean down the ice cream counter every night but we used to sell loads of it!

i love a sorbet, passion fruit is delicious

Mum?....

Wherestheteenguide · 02/09/2025 21:12

It's one of my favourites...I don't shout about it and don't think I'm interesting. Just like to. But I also drink rum so...
For the carrot cake haters, that's also my favourite cake. Maybe there's a theme!

You are write. Bigly Time
It is evil, the work of the devil.
Even if you take them raisins out, it is still nasty. Then if you take the rum flavor out, it is still unpleasant.
Everyone loves Cherry Vanilla, and if they don't, they should be deported as they must be anti-American.

Oh WHY has the laugh emoji gone?

Honestly I love it but l was bought up on Rum BaBas and Old Jamaica chocolate 😁

Ooh, Old Jamaica. 😋 my dad loved that and would occasionally split a bar from his secret stash.

luckylavender · 02/09/2025 21:10

I love it. Don’t care what people think

Fuckish · 02/09/2025 21:10

I love it. It’s strawberry and chocolate I hate.

Pebbles16 · 02/09/2025 21:08

I haven't had it for years. The memory having been reignited: I would do MANY A THING to get a rum and raisin...
In the absence of R&R, I favour pistachio

My favourite ice cream 🙄

GellerYeller · 02/09/2025 21:06

Love it!
Also love walnuts in carrot cake.
I would love liquorice ice cream too.

Okrr · 02/09/2025 21:04

One of my favs. In Italy the gelato flavour is called Malaga.

MoominMai · 02/09/2025 21:04

How very dare you! I love rum and raisin anything really. I’m not hardcore though and if it gets ‘too real’ and overwhelming alcoholic tasting with not enough sugar then I may struggle though I’ll never let on - anything to protect my ‘interesting’ character haha

ThisIsHowWeDoItThisIsHowWeDoIt · 02/09/2025 21:03

I’ve got a family member who sells posh ice cream in their take away and rum and raisin is by far the top seller. Then vanilla.

Delicious! See also: coffee cake with walnuts.

Show quote history

There is a clue that walnuts will be found in that cake. I don’t like coffee or walnuts (especially together in a cake) but I had tried carrot cake once and liked it. Bought one from somewhere else and discovered the walnuts, almost hidden in there 🤢
