Coffe, toffee and banana. Used to love McDonald’s crème egg ice cream 😋

All you liquorice haters are why I can’t find my favourite flavour anywhere 😭

Isn't there more left for you?

Tutti frutti, rum and raisin, liquorice plus any ice cream that bears only a passing relationship with anything that could reasonably be called food. I’ve never tried bubble gum ice cream but I can well imagine it would jump straight to the top of the list if I did.

Actual strawberry ice cream is delicious, as is banana but strawberry flavour and banana flavour are nasty.

On the whole ice cream is something that is best homemade. In this house, raspberry is a big favourite.

Chocolate
Strawberry
Salted caramel

Same. I'm a liquorice addict but I've never seen it in ice cream form.

FcukBreastCancer · 15/09/2025 15:36

Bubblegum or coffee (but I hate coffee)

It was briefly available in the posher supermarkets before salt met caramel, but I’ve not seen it in a few years.

The only time I’ve had liquorice ice cream (or more accurately liquorice gelato) was in Italy. One of the friends I was with had been raving about it but when we tracked some down she declared it not as good as she remembered and didn’t want it again.

Jamesblonde2 · 15/09/2025 15:41

Tutti Fruitti

MaggieBsBoat · 15/09/2025 15:52

I live in the EU and all the ice cream parlours have liquorice and it is bloody phenomenal!!

Nothankyov · 15/09/2025 15:52

Vanilla

Obeseandashamed · 15/09/2025 15:54

Strawberry, banana, or coffee

Endofyear · 15/09/2025 15:55

Cheap raspberry ripple 🤮

I absolutely love rum & raisin as long as it's a good one and not cheap and nasty rum flavouring!

My favourite is a Nigella recipe - salted caramel and jack Daniels 😋 it's easy to make and delicious!

Nothankyov · 15/09/2025 15:52

Vanilla

Chocolate. I love chocolate but not a fan of chocolate ice cream or milkshake unless it has added flavours in it. Cheap vanilla is also rubbish.

Liquorice.

Yes! I had it in France once, it was called Regalise and it was - first spoonful ‘mm that’s quite interesting’ then ‘this is horrible!’

Otherwise mint chocolate chip and all the ones with chunks of cake/ biscuit/ dough to bulk out the ice cream.

EverardDeTroyes · 15/09/2025 16:02

Amazed at all the hate for coffee. It is my first choice always, and I am not a coffee drinker.

Hard to say which is the worst flavour. I wouldn't have anything at all if there was only bubblegum, rum and raisin or banana on offer.

I understand people's dislike for mint choc chip and chocolate but could be persuaded to have either.

Basically, just save the coffee or a good salted caramel for me and I won't have to make a decision about the worst flavours.

Notagain75 · 15/09/2025 16:06

Rum and raisin by a long way

TenPenceMix · 15/09/2025 16:14

Chocolate

Dutchhouse14 · 15/09/2025 16:14

Chocolate, too rich and sickly

PermanentTemporary · 15/09/2025 16:18

Anything except vanilla. I’ve lost tolerance for most ice cream.

Guiltypleasures001 · 15/09/2025 16:22

Mint choc chip

Endofmytether21 · 15/09/2025 16:28

From Scotland … Iron Brew. Bright orange scoop of vileness.

MrsMoastyToasty · 15/09/2025 16:41

Melon ice cream. I had it 40+ years ago from an ice cream parlour in Brittany. It was disgusting.
