I honestly hate mint choc chip, and also that old fashioned cheap Neapolitan ice cream people used to eat in the 1980s. Not massively fond of rum & raisin either!

Neapolitan - just why??? Lovely vanilla ruined by chocolate and strawberry flavoured awfulness.

I love pistachio ice cream and use it as a benchmark if we’re trying out a new shop.
BUT that McDonald’s one-off pistachio sundae was like eating vanilla and swamp juice!
A black mark also goes to homemade ice cream where the suspended fruit is frozen solid.

Rum & raison
Strawberry

Mint and chocolate chip. I always find it tastes like toothpaste. I'm not too keen on strawberry either.

Banana 🤮

I hate bananas and anything flavoured with bananas, milky things are particularly bad. The only things worse than banana ice cream would be banana custard and banana milkshake.

Rum and raisin. I just don't understand. Mind you haven't tried since I was about eight.

Chocolate flavour icecream is all wrong and bubblegum.

Bubblegum

BotswanaBay · 15/09/2025 22:24

Rum and raisin, but banana is a close second.

Strawberry

Indeed!

DinoLil · 15/09/2025 22:30

Chocolate 🤢🤮

Pistachio

AuraBora · 15/09/2025 22:32

I once had clotted cream ice cream and it was horrid.. Just really farmyardy! Ironically tho it was probably good quality unlike most of the ultra processed rubbish you get mostly nowadays (Carte d'or- I'm looking at you!)

Agree chocolate can be very underwhelming but recently had Waitrose Santo Domingo chocolate ice cream and that is amazing!

Always enjoyed pistachio when I've had it!

Mint

Something weird is going on with this thread. There are multiple double or triple posts

Mint. Mint flavoured anything is minging.

Its not just this thread, it’s been happening all over the site for a while now.

VanillaImpulse · 15/09/2025 23:00

Matcha is probably worst I’ve had but I hear there’s a baked bean flavour that I imagine would be worse!

80smonster · 15/09/2025 23:18

Vanilla - it’s so boring - strictly for kiddies.

Squarechair · 15/09/2025 23:19

Bubblegum. Blue bubblegum.

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 15/09/2025 23:25

Ooh I love banana. For me it's chocolate, as it's almost always too dark and strong flavoured. I don't know why manufacturers can't make a nice creamy chocolate.

I can endure strawberry but strawberries and cream is better IMO.

Bbq1 · 15/09/2025 23:30

Rum and raisin is the best ice cream flavour! Like mint too.

Bonkersbilly · 16/09/2025 00:11

Went on a Hurtigruten cruise around Norway and they had fish ice cream in the cafe. Didn’t try it!
