It's my favourite! Closely followed by coffee.

same!

Katemax82 · 02/09/2025 21:58

What?? It's my husband's favourite flavour and my daughter and I love it! I could think anyone who thinks ketchup is nice is insane but I'd be massively outnumbered

DialSquare · 02/09/2025 21:59

One of the only two ice cream flavours I don’t like. Tutti Frutti being the other one.

WorkCleanRepeat · 02/09/2025 22:03

It's my favourite (but strangely I wouldn't drink rum)

Same here. Both by far the worse!

Hairshare · 02/09/2025 22:11

YABU to call these people liars but VVVR to be astonished at their preference. It's horrible.

I strongly belive once you start liking rum raisin ice cream, you're officially old. Same wirh liking the Chanel no5.

I have just started liking Chanel no 5, which I previously loathed with a passion!

I’m with you OP it’s up there with mint choc chip, I like a good Cornish icecream, I make my own now I’ve invested in a icecream machine

rhubarb and gooseberries are also my pet hate.

Ooh, rhubarb and gooseberry ice cream would be great.

PP quite right about olives. Deeeee-sgusting.

InterestedDad37 · 02/09/2025 22:15

Absolutely love it. It runs a close second to Mint Choc Chip 🍦

Endofyear · 02/09/2025 22:16

I love it, it's probably my favourite flavour 😋 not sure why anyone would lie about it!

My favourite! Coffee and pistachio are in my top 5 too. What does that say about me?!

FlatErica · 02/09/2025 22:17

But I love it!

WellThisIsFranklyDreadful · 02/09/2025 22:17

God I love it. So very much! And I’m on a diet which you are NOT HELPING!

Ketchup IS disgusting. I'm with you!

JadeSeahorse · 02/09/2025 22:18

OP are you mad?

Rum and Raisin ice cream = Food of the Gods 😋♥️♥️♥️

dizzydizzydizzy · 02/09/2025 20:36

I love it! I loved it when I was a child too. My (young adult) DCs wouldn't like it because they don't like anything with an alcohol taste. I was always happy as child in the 70s to eat brandy butter or other desserts with alcohol poured on them .

Me too.
OP do you dislike Brandy sauce and Christmas pud?

CarefullyCuratedFurniture · 02/09/2025 22:19

Anything with raisins in (including a box of raisins) is truly disgusting. Raisins belong in the bin, along with currants and sultanas, and any other wrinkly fruit you can think of.

Ice cream should be mint chocolate chip, the end.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 02/09/2025 22:20

I like it!

It’s not my favourite of all but I do really like it.

Tastes like rum for one thing!

WaitWhatWhatWait · 02/09/2025 22:21

Spudlover · 02/09/2025 20:32

It’s genuinely my favourite, sorry! And I’m not remotely interesting.

It's my favourite too 😍

InWalksBarberalla · 02/09/2025 22:23

Rum and raisen was my favourite as a kid. Now it's a toss up between liquorice and coffee (which don't work together unfortunately!).

I loathe ketchup too!

And I like alot of the other ice cream flavours that run and raisin lovers are listing as favourites - pistachio, coffee, mint chocolate chip.

My favourite of all is the Italian stracciatella flavour but you almost never get it in the UK.

MumOfManyAliases · 02/09/2025 22:25

I went to a cafe in town recently and chose rice pudding and nutmeg ice cream. It could have been really nice but this one was rubbish- like a bland vanilla with bits of cooked rice mixed in with it.

Givemeachaitealatte · 02/09/2025 22:30

Kangarude · 02/09/2025 20:33

Yes, along with those who eat carrot cake with walnuts baked in 😱
What is that all about?

How wrong could you be - you take that back. Carrot and walnut cake is quite literally the best thing I've ever tasted.

I also like rum and raisin ice cream.

raviona · 02/09/2025 22:33

It’s my favourite. There’s not enough of it in this world
