What flavors come to mind when you think of classic ice cream flavors?

[snoopy7548]

If you grew up in like the 20s-40s, it's probably lemon. Otherwise, it's vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry all the way. Anyone here that old?

EDIT: I just realized pretty soon we'll have to be specific when referring to the '20s. And the new classic flavors will probably be weird shit like cotton candy and avocado.

None of the above...

Fucking Ben and Jerry's or nothing at all.

Which flavor, you stupid bitch? Ben and Jerry's is a brand.

 

[Cozarkian]

hmm, maybe....but tomato is a fruit. It can't possibly be anything else.

Gelato is mostly like ice cream, but it isn't the same.

It can and is something else. It is also a vegetable. Vegetable is not a scientific classification, it is a food/cooking term. Being a fruit scientifically is not mutually exclusive with being a vegetable.

Gelato and ice cream are both dairy based frozen desserts, but they aren't the same. Just like oranges and grapefruits are both citrus but aren't the same.

They don't have "flavors" it's not strawberry, banana, Neapolitan or any of that shit. It's just a huge fucking mixture of awesomeness.

Americone Dream, The Tonight Dough, Half Baked, Everything but the, Peanut Butter World, Smores... pretty much all of the above. They all kick-ass and it's hard to find a shitty one.

You know, I never considered that. When I think fruit, I think "swollen ovary," because that's a fruit. If it isn't an ovary, then it isn't a fruit.

So, the use of vegetable is to classify "not fruits?"

Same here. If you went to a 'custard stand', as my mom called it, those were your choices. You could get more variety if you went to the store and got the half gallon cartons: butter pecan, maple walnut, fudge swirl. My dad usually brought home Neapolitan, aka chocolate, vanilla, strawberry.

I voted chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry because that was what I grew up on. But, I'm knowledgeable enough to know that this answer varies significantly with age and location. And it varied even more over the centuries.

Does anyone have a gif of Homer Simpson digging through the cartons of Neopolitan ice cream going "mmm chocolate" and then "Doh!" when only the stripe of chocolate is gone?

 

[FerrelGeek]

This is like the "Is a tomato a fruit?" argument.

I've seen it stated that knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit and that wisdom is knowing to not put a tomato in a fruit salad.

Chocolate chip cookie dough

Yeah, the whole 31 flavors thing is bonkers. When I grew up it was chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Then rocky road and chocolate chip came along and pretty soon a whole pandoras box of swirly gooey stuff.

"Marge! We need more chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream!"

You grew up in the 1920s before rocky road became mainstream?

This is one of the oldest tech forums on the internet.

Well, it wasn't mainstream in my house, I thought it was a later development, maybe not...

I am sorry for your loss.

Spumoni should be on the list.

That is gelato, bro. We're talking red-blooded, freedom having, American ice cream.
