Trying to seem interesting?

It's my favourite and has been since I was a child

Chubbybetty · 02/09/2025 20:38

It's genuinely the best ice cream flavour in the world. I didn't even know it has any kind of reputation. Lidl do a lovely one.

Disgusting food!

It’s literally the only ice cream dh will eat. I quite like it too.

Same here. If it’s not an option when we’re all out getting ice creams he’s bereft (I hate it - salted caramel girl through and through)

But OP, he definitely isn’t doing it to be interesting 🤣

percypig84 · 02/09/2025 20:39

I love it, even though I don’t generally like alcohol in desserts. You’ve made me really want some now…

PearlClutzsche · 02/09/2025 20:39

What a bizarre take. What’s “interesting” about rum and raisin? I really like it, but hardly bleat on about it.

What’s wrong with liking walnuts in a carrot cake?

Satan's gonads.

Shmoigel · 02/09/2025 20:39

It’s banging! It’s always my go to ice cream flavour

CaroleLandis · 02/09/2025 20:39

The last time I saw Rum and Raisin ice cream was in the 70s! My father would have it very occasionally. I don’t recall my mother or any of us children liking it!

ClaredeBear · 02/09/2025 20:39

Before Ben & Jerry’s came along it was my favourite flavour!

SpottyAardvark · 02/09/2025 20:39

It’s definitely one of my favourites. I often choose it on our daily gelateria trips while on holiday.

MaryGreenhill · 02/09/2025 20:39

Honestly I love it but l was bought up on Rum BaBas and Old Jamaica chocolate 😁

WearyAuldWumman · 02/09/2025 20:40

I love it.

Blondiney · 02/09/2025 20:41

Agree OP, they're clearly attention seekers. 😁

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 02/09/2025 20:41

Coffee is the best. Tiramisu flavour just doesn't hit the spot in the same way. R & R, OTOH, is an abomination.

Bunnybear42 · 02/09/2025 20:42

Love it (well before I went dairy free!) they did a really nice one in Baskins Robbins a few years ago

Fragmentedbrain · 02/09/2025 20:42

WHAT IS THIS NIGHTMARE?

Sarah2891 · 02/09/2025 20:42

I love it too.

Slightyamusedandsilly · 02/09/2025 20:43

Dogaredabomb · 02/09/2025 20:32

It's my favourite! Closely followed by coffee.

Other way round for me. 1st coffee, then rum n raisin.

It isn't interesting though @Fragmentedbrain . It's old lady ice cream!

DoYouReally · 02/09/2025 20:43

Love it and rum & raisin fudge too.

No idea why you think people say it to be interesting. Any time I choose it, it's typically met with comments like "weirdo" or "don't know how you like that".

pizzaHeart · 02/09/2025 20:43

Dogaredabomb · 02/09/2025 20:39

Satan's gonads.

Carrots or walnuts?

DiscoBob · 02/09/2025 20:44

I despise choc chip ice-cream and mint choc chip. Any chocolate in ice-cream just tastes like plastic?
Rum raisen is kind of meh. I don't hate it.

DonaldJohnTrump · 02/09/2025 20:44

You are write. Bigly Time
It is evil, the work of the devil.
Even if you take them raisins out, it is still nasty. Then if you take the rum flavor out, it is still unpleasant.
Everyone loves Cherry Vanilla, and if they don't, they should be deported as they must be anti-American.
Executive Order, on this to follow shortly.

Carrots or walnuts?

Walnuts, carrot would be cock.

I am a rum n raisin ice cream wanker and proud
