I garlic ice cream in Venezuela - it was absolutely gross and I don't know why I tried it. Chocolate and vanilla are popular for a reason!

Have you a recipe please? It's so hard to find this flavour now and its my absolute favourite!

Worst is an artificial strawberry flavour.

Lidl sometimes have rum and raisin ice cream in....

Chocolate. It shouldn't be cold.

MyBirthdayMonth · 15/09/2025 14:10

Liquorice.

It's from my ice cream maker book but looks like this...

Also, I follow the same process using cut up crystallised ginger and no rum or raisens. Makes a lovely gingery ice cream, if you like ginger.

These aren't soft scoop - I've never managed soft scoop with my ice cream maker. But it doesn't last long and I only make ice cream like this for special occasion meals as it takes a while.

Bubblegum it is revolting however coffee is my favourite and that is getting a few hates

ImWearingPantaloons · 15/09/2025 14:13

Any cheap ice cream - I’m thinking the stuff that comes in 4 litre tubs.

FannyCradocksDoughnut · 15/09/2025 14:14

Mint choc chip (frozen toothpaste yuck)

FirstCuppa · 15/09/2025 14:14

Chocolate that tastes like cardboard
Or those waxy fish things in B&J that never melt and taste of wax

godmum56 · 15/09/2025 14:14

liquorice

BlackCoffeeAndSugar · 15/09/2025 14:15

The strawberry out one of the neopolitan tubs

LetsTryAgainNowThen · 15/09/2025 14:15

I've had olive oil ice cream and thyme ice cream before, and cucumber sorbet. They were all unpleasant but the cucumber was the worst. So that.

Of mainstream flavours, I don't like mint.

DiscoBob · 15/09/2025 14:15

Chocolate. Especially the ones with big lumps of frozen dark chocolate in them.

Mint choc chip is gross. Like toothpaste.

Strawberry is kind of sickly and really fake tasting. So not a fan.

The best are hazelnut, almond praline, macadamia, pistachio and salted caramel.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 15/09/2025 14:17

Rum and raisin or chocolate

Chocolate because I have only really had cheap choc ice cream

BauhausOfEliott · 15/09/2025 14:17

I've never tasted a single ice cream that I actively disliked. I suppose if I had to rank them, I'd probably put bubblegum at the bottom; I'd never choose it. But I don't hate it or anything.

Hmmmmwineandchocs · 15/09/2025 14:21

Loads but of the top of my head rum and raisin, turkish delight, pistachio, bubblegum.

LOVE mint choc chip/salted caramel/strawberry and banana 😄

GameOfJones · 15/09/2025 14:22

ExquisitelyDecorating · 15/09/2025 13:45

Mint choc chip closely followed by rum and raisin

My two favourite flavours!

Salted caramel is definitely the worst 🤢

Plastictreees · 15/09/2025 14:22

Cookies and cream / cookie dough.

Nooo pistachio ice cream is amazing 🤩

rainbowunicorn22 · 15/09/2025 14:25

anything mint. I have never heard of banana, but novelty ones like Biscoff are revolting and not like the real thing. A lot of chocolate now is not nice, very chemically disgusting. whatever happened to nice Neopolitan or Tutti Frutti? A lot of them now are awful

steppemum · 15/09/2025 14:34

bubblegum,
sickly, artificial and anyway, what is there to like about bubblegum flavour? Why would you even consider making it into ice cream?
And then it is blue.....

MumbleJumble123 · 15/09/2025 14:40

Banana (the artificial flavour, I actually quite like the healthy ‘ice-cream’ that’s just frozen banana blended up with some dark chocolate chips) or bubblegum.
My son also once insisted on a fake orange flavoured one once in a theme park that was absolutely disgusting (I think it’s the only time I’ve ever thrown an ice cream away).

I love rum and raisin ice cream (there’s a restaurant near us that makes it’s own and it is delicious) and other controversial flavours like coffee, lemon, and salted caramel.
I also had a matcha/white chocolate one the other day that was lovely (and matcha always comes up on the threads about horrible foods that are inexplicably popular)

My absolute favourite is a dark chocolate sorbet with either candied orange or candied ginger, both of which horrify my husband!

Icecreamandcoffee · 15/09/2025 14:41

Bubblegum, candyfloss or unicorn - all either electric blue, purple or pink, purple and blue and seem to drive my DD absolutely wild.

Strawberry

Completely agree! It’s horrid. Even the “good” stuff when it’s that flavour!
