To believe anyone who claims to like rum and raisin ice cream is a liar

It tastes like bin juice smells.

That must be the rum, as I think mojito tastes like toothpaste and bin.

Never tried R&R ice cream, but love walnuts in carrot cake, or any cake really.

Revolting flavour

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.

Oh yes - delicious, slightly warm, moist, carrot cake with walnuts.... served with rum and raisin ice-cream 😋 oh that sounds amazing!!

Leilaandtheloggerheads · 02/09/2025 22:50

what an utterly bizarre thing to say.

Dweetfidilove · 02/09/2025 22:52

YABU!

Gladysknightjustwalkinmyshoes · 02/09/2025 22:55

Not ice-cream but old Jamaica chocolate yum 😋

Empress13 · 02/09/2025 22:56

Nope love it sorry

ladygindiva · 02/09/2025 22:56

Yanbu. It's fucking disgusting. Raisins have no place in ice cream, or chocolate for that matter.

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

Oh I love carrot cake mmm

Oh yes!

When I was a child my parents used to go to a Whist Drive every week and the booby prize (person with lowest score at the end of the evening) was always a bar of Old Jamaica.

Before I was old enough to be left at home on my own I used to go with them and just help serve the teas, fold the raffle tickets etc. but I was always hoping one of them would come last so they got the chocolate!

Sadly for me they were both quite good players and were more likely to come first and win something boring like several rashers of bacon and half a dozen eggs. (Yes that really was the star prize!)

Rum&Raisin choc ices from the local offy (off-licence) in the 80's 😋 I think they were about 7p and I interspersed them with mint ones.

magicstar1 · 02/09/2025 23:07

I love it! I make it too and it's a family favourite....along with rum & raisin cheesecake.

freerangethighs · 02/09/2025 23:10

It's not my absolute absolute favourite on its own, but it is really amazingly good (and arguably the best ice cream to serve) with dark chocolate, with brownies (especially with walnuts), and/or with pecan pie.

Shitmonger · 02/09/2025 23:18

My dad likes it.

He’s American though so already quite sus really.

MrsBruar · 02/09/2025 23:22

It's yummy!

I'm pretty into maple-walnut ice cream right now. 😋

It’s delicious and I’m really interesting.

@Kangarude
my recipe includes walnuts and pineapple. 🤗

Starling7 · 02/09/2025 23:29

Yum

DiscoBeat · 02/09/2025 23:32

Ugh. Glad to leave my share to the weirdos that like it (light-hearted!)

NorthLion · 02/09/2025 23:35

Oh my god it’s my favourite flavour and I had absolutely no idea people felt it was attention seeker…..

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 02/09/2025 23:37

I love rum, like raisins, like ice cream, so yes, I genuinely like Rum & Raisin Ice Cream.

Raisin & Biscuit Yorkie is also by far the best Yorkie, and Fruit Club beats the crap out of any of the other varieties.

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 02/09/2025 23:38

I'm kind of with you; it's the texture of the raisins.

Bizarrely, I have a major weakness for Rum and Raisin Ritter Sport. It's so rummy! Although to be fair, it's hard to find ANY Ritter Sport bar that disappoints.

Walnuts are never bad... get them in the carrot cakes I say.

To be fair, I never thought this. I just found it odd that people could cope with the texture of the raisins.

OriginalUsername2 · 02/09/2025 23:52

It was my 2nd favourite flavour as a child in the 80’s! First was mint chocolate chip. Now it’s good old vanilla. It’s not a sign of anything 😆
