My absolute fave. Then coffee

They wouldn't make it if it didn't sell.

It's delicious.

pinkpedi · 02/09/2025 20:57

Love it ever since I was a kid aswell!
Although now I'm an adult, I think it would be even better if it came with a shot of rum, kraken please! 😃

What’s wrong with liking walnuts in a carrot cake?

Show quote history

Walnuts are terrible and should not be hiding in carrot cake.

Squirrelsnut · 02/09/2025 20:57

I like it and often choose it. I particularly like when the raisins are a little frozen.

I love rum and raisin ice cream. I recently had it during a holiday to Devon. Absolutely delish.

Floranan · 02/09/2025 20:55

I’m with you OP it’s up there with mint choc chip, I like a good Cornish icecream, I make my own now I’ve invested in a icecream machine

rhubarb and gooseberries are also my pet hate.

I was very excited to see it feature in our hotel ice cream selection this summer, love it. I ordered a rum and raisin pancake once but it was just a raisin pancake that came with a shot of rum, most disappointing.

People who pretend to like olives however…

I have no need to pretend to like olives. Also delicious!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 02/09/2025 20:52

I really like it!

I couldn’t even imagine that some people had such a deep serious associations around a piece of cake. I know it’s a carrot cake but still.
Im not ready for this level yet. 😂

People like different things and it's nothing to do with wanting to seem interesting. My former husband claimed he was mortified when I ordered bubblegum ice-cream in a pub.

Kangarude · 02/09/2025 20:33

Yes, along with those who eat carrot cake with walnuts baked in 😱
What is that all about?

Delicious! See also: coffee cake with walnuts.

suburburban · 02/09/2025 20:47

It’s vile

OneKhakiFish · 02/09/2025 20:47

I'm not that keen on ice cream but rum and raisin 🤤 love it

Vitriolinsanity · 02/09/2025 20:47

You are quite, quite wrong OP. It is my favourite and to prove it I ate my body weight whilst in Italy recently.

Bathingforest · 02/09/2025 20:46

You are talking to the wrong crowd. It is my favourite, not sure was it because I am a retired wine producer but who knows

I despise choc chip ice-cream and mint choc chip. Any chocolate in ice-cream just tastes like plastic?
Rum raisen is kind of meh. I don't hate it.

I completely agree, I spit out the chocolate fish in phish food.

Christmashatglee · 02/09/2025 20:45

I am a rum n raisin ice cream wanker and proud

Carrots or walnuts?

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.
Executive Order, on this to follow shortly.
