Vanilla, but only the good stuff !

murasaki · 19/06/2023 17:43

Lemon sorbet or coffee

Bluevelvetsofa · 19/06/2023 17:44

Pistachio, but only from a gelati near the Trevi fountain.

Haagen dazs chocolate midnight cookies. Haven't been able to find it anywhere for years. Much much better than any other cookie icecream.

Vanilla here too. I don’t mind the cheap Mr Whippy stuff or the stuff with posh proper vanilla beans but I only have vanilla ice cream.

On its own in a bowl or in a cone. No wafer or cornet. Sometimes I like adding raspberry sauce to it

OneMoreCookieMonster · 19/06/2023 17:45

Rum and raisin

7Worfs · 19/06/2023 17:46

Mint Choc Chip every time

Brendabigbaps · 19/06/2023 17:46

Mint choc chip with proper chunks of choc, it’s got to crunch
not the synthetic cheap stuff

Aldi strawberry cheesecake or salted caramel / honeycomb from diary farms!

Ohmylovejune · 19/06/2023 17:47

Hocking Vanilla from North Devon. Cannot be beaten

No cos I don’t like cornets or wafers. Only ever get it in a cone

CaveMum · 19/06/2023 17:49

If I can’t have gelato freshly made and bought from a little truck in Venice, then I’ll go for either Aldi’s Vanilla Carte d’Or knock-off or Ben n Jerry’s Phish Food.

I have eclectic taste!

You don't see many trucks in Venice 🤔

Truck/trailer all the same thing and I definitely bought a divine pistachio gelato from one last time I was in Venice 😜

Farmageddon · 19/06/2023 17:54

Salted caramel is addictive.

Yellowdays · 19/06/2023 22:01

It has to be vanilla.

ThreeRingCircus · 19/06/2023 22:05

Pistachio. If that's not available rum and raisin is my back up.

ComtesseDeSpair · 19/06/2023 22:05

Bubblegum. The bluer and more artificial the better. I don’t eat ice cream more than a couple of times a year, but if I do it’s that, from the junkiest stall I can find.

I’ve no idea what flavour bubblegum actually is. It usually has hints of banana and toilet cleaner, I think.

spiderlight · 19/06/2023 22:06

Joe's.

soupmaker · 19/06/2023 22:10

Cherry or hazelnut or even better both served in a brioche like bun from a Gelateria in Sicily.

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 19/06/2023 22:11

Texture wise a very good chocolate.
Tate wise elderflower frozen yogurt.

Since I discovered my mild lactose intolerance was actually a dairy allergy, anything that won't kill me.
