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.

Fredericks Tutti Frutti. Fredericks are a small local ice cream manufacturer/parlour near to where I live - and they also deliver 👍

Magnum Tub Almond Ice Cream - the tub is lined with chocolate, a genius idea. Sadly, I'm not sure that they make it anymore.

I once made blackcurrant ice cream using a Delia Smith recipe. I had to use tinned blackcurrants rather than fresh but the end product turned out really well.

I'm not really a fan of ice cream, with the exception of Kelly's Cornish clotted cream ice cream (I have a scoop in my ice-coffee in the summer. It's the only time I eat ice cream though maybe not eat because it goes deliciously slurpable)

The best ice cream I ever had was from a ice cream van in Bude, Cornwall.

It was one of those old fashioned wagons and the ice cream was made locally.
It tasted absolutely incredible. Really smooth, double cream delicious.

I got the lemon meringue one, dh got chocolate, dc got the strawberry one. All excellent.

We went back a couple of days later especially for the ice cream!

Is the soft Mr Whippy type stuff from ice cream vans actually ice cream or is it something else ?

Haagen Daaz Pralines and Cream or Strawberry Cheesecake flavour

@Newnormal99

I have discovered Hackney gelato - millionaires shortbread is amazing. Also mince pie ice cream which is way nicer than it sounds.

My daughter said the mango sorbet was like eating a mango.

We never got along with Hackney Gelato (had the pistachio and salted caramel , I think). We had high hopes for it but we would probably not try it again

We used to have Rizza's ice cream when visiting family in Huntly (also NE Scotland) in the 80's. Can't remember specific flavours but remember it was delicious!

Local ice cream parlour does the best icecream.

Supermarket favourite is haagan daaz, usually praline, but like their new duo strawberry and chocolate flavours.
