Licorice ice cream is amazing. I've only had it once from a boutique vendor at a festival, but if I could buy it in a store, it would probably be at least 33% of my ice cream purchases. Another 33% would be coffee, and the rest would be miscellaneous stuff that caught my eye.
Coffee ice cream is excellent except for the coffee part.

I am with you on the coffee ice cream.
Also mocha almond fudge is good.

Cookie dough ice cream is nasty. So is PB ice cream.
I remember as a kid Baskin Robbins had a licorice ice cream.
Licorice? Seriously WTF?
woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.

licorice ice cream rocks! I loved it as a kid and still do now.

Our local ice-cream company, Shaw's, decided to reintroduce it to much fanfare.

Peanut butter ice cream is nasty, but vanilla ice cream with melted peanut butter and chocolate syrup and whipped cream is heavenly. Sprinkles too if you feel like being a kid again.

Ben & Jerry's is great but it will make you fat. 30g of fat per serving. 4 or 5 servings per pint.

Cookie dough was my favorite for a long time, but I've always liked coffee. Mint chocolate chip is awesome too, and also cherry chocolate chip (with real cherries).

If you live near central MA and like ice cream, check out Kimball Farm. They make all their own stuff, and a "small" (below) is pretty much a pint of ice cream - I always get the kiddie size.

look, i like BREAD, but i don't put BREAD in my ice cream. And if i did, i wouldn't expect the taste to increase, but to decrease.

eh, it's the same for every ice cream. "Lite" ice cream or "diet" aren't even ice cream. They may be ice, but they ain't "cream".

I still like CCCD. There are some bad ones out there. That's my goto when going to homemade ice cream store/stand

A really good vanilla ice cream with either a little bit of hot fudge or salted caramel on top is where it's at.

Damn, I should have stayed out of this thread because now I really want ice cream, and I can't really have any probably for another 60-90 days (I had to make some big changes to my eating habits about a month ago).

i just read the body and regretted it

peanut butter ice cream is so sickeningly overpowered

in cookie dough ice cream, you can strategically distribute your consumption of the chunks to balance dough and cream

but in peanut butter ice cream? there is no escape

there is only overwhelming peanut-ish taste that seems subtle at first, but eventually steamrolls your tastebuds

i have tried peanut butter ice cream on numerous occasions but never finished a cone or bowl of it
I don't particularly care for peanut butter flavored ice cream, but peanut butter IN ice cream can be good. Baskin Robbins used to have a chocolate ice cream with a peanut butter ribbon in it that was good. Maybe they still do, I think the last time I went into an ice cream shoppe was three or four years ago, and maybe once in the three or four years before that.

I know it's horribad so I don't buy it. I think I had cookie dough ice cream once. It wasn't great but even not so great ice cream is pretty good. But I usually stick with the basics. Vanilla or chocolate.

Non-flavored for me.

Sounds to me like the pizza to sex comparison.
Really good pizza is very, very good. When the pizza is not-so-great, it's still pretty good.
