Admittedly it must be at least twenty years since I last tasted ice cream so my tastes will likely be rather dated. As a youngster, I used to like the Lyons Napoli cornets with different fruit and other flavours. I liked strawberry the best, then orange then mint choc chip. Cornish ice cream was also quite popular but I might find it too rich now. Haunted House ice cream lollipops were a good compromise; better than bland Mr Men lollies but not as good as a Mivvi or Orange Maid.

Does anyone really like ice cream made with lumps of cookie dough ? It sounds grossAngry.

I love Mackies ice cream, particularly the chocolate one. I must try more of their flavours though :D

ThreeRingCircus · 19/03/2022 18:50

Haagen Dasz Praline and Cream flavour. The ultimate in my opinion!

Carte D’or salted caramel 😍

The new Ben and Jerrys one. It's a sundae with chocolate hazelnut ice cream. So good

Ice cream snob here. I always thought it was completely overrated (although I thought fudge Gino ginelli was amazing when I was a child), but I’ve since discovered places locally that make it fresh every day. Black cherry, please.

ClariceQuiff · 19/03/2022 18:59

Raspberry ripple in a tub from one of those old-fashioned ice cream sellers.

Northerngal123 · 19/03/2022 18:59

Rum and raisin
Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough or chocolate brownie
Haagen Daaz praline
But my favourite is a good old 99 Whippy with a flake

Soubriquet · 19/03/2022 19:00

I love the cookie dough ice cream Grin

The only other flavour I like is vanilla Blush

Though, I do like it with its properly made with real vanilla and not just vanilla flavouring

northernshite · 19/03/2022 19:03

How have you not tasted ice cream for 20 years 😱

I like rum & raisin

rachelohrachel · 19/03/2022 19:06

I very much miss Chocolate Salted Caramel Haagen Dazs - discontinued :-(

I like Scottish Tablet ice cream but always have to add more tablet as there's never enough.

And fudge Gino Ginelli, I'd forgotten how good this was - yum!

Rizza’s gold top, there used to be a shop in Lossiemouth (NE Scotland coast) sold it by the cone, it was divine . Don’t know if you can get it outwith Scotland .

The best ice cream I’ve ever had though was from a street seller in Plymouth in 1995, age 3 or 4, raspberry ripple - can still taste it now .

HerRoyalNotness · 19/03/2022 19:11

Movenpick Maple walnut. Haven’t seen it in years!

Salamander91 · 19/03/2022 19:11

I can't eat dairy anymore but I used to love Tesco's latte ice cream

WildRosie · 19/03/2022 19:12

northernshite. I suppose I can take it or leave it. No other explanation!

I'll look again tomorrow. Early start in the morning.🍦

Pistachio,whichbis really hard to come by now,failing that,toffee fudge/salted caramel.

Libertaire · 19/03/2022 19:15

The best ice cream in the world is served at Gelateria del Porto in Antibes. If that isn’t convenient, Waitrose’s No1 own brand stuff is delicious. Santo Domingo Chocolate is my favourite flavour.

transformandriseup · 19/03/2022 19:16

A lot of shops locally make their own ice cream and I probably wouldn't buy walls or nestle with the exception of Ben and Jerrys as a treat. Some of the Cornish brands are very good, Callestick and Roskilliies.

ShellieEllie · 19/03/2022 19:19

Rum and raisin

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 19/03/2022 19:20

Kellys ice cream is nice, i wish they sold more flavours in the supermarket, their mint choc chip is my favourite.

I like
cart dor mint choc chip
Ben and jerrys half baked
Haagaan dazs cookie dough

DaydreamerBetty · 19/03/2022 19:21

Ben and Jerry’s phish food, I don’t normally like chocolate Ice cream and would normally have strawberry/ fruit. I really like the chocolate chunks.

Notdoingthis · 19/03/2022 19:21

I like vanilla, or coffee, or pistachio.
I find any other flavours a bit much.
I can really take or leave ice cream. I am amazed people spend so much money on it.

WellNotReally · 19/03/2022 19:22

Arran raspberry ripple, god it's gorgeous. Others are any decent maple pecan (hard to find), and salted caramel too.

GestationalDiabetes · 19/03/2022 19:23

I find Hagen Daas far too sweet and do like Mackies. My best ice creams tend to be smaller local companies , and our farm shop has an amazing Alfonso mango sorbet

SiobhanSharpe · 19/03/2022 19:26

I used to love Ben and Jerry's 'Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz' , it was a true, strong coffee flavour! (With chunks of coffee flavoured plain chocolate in as well.) But sadly it was discontinued quite a long time ago.
I make Nigella's no-churn espresso coffee now.

thelastgreatdynasty · 19/03/2022 19:26

Another vote for pistachio. Agree it's difficult to get, unfortunately:(
