Don't ya agree?

Yet.............

AI Overview
In Canada, chocolate is the most popular ice cream flavor, followed by vanilla, mint chocolate, maple walnut, and butterscotch

I guess the U.S. is less woke and picks a white flavor........

In the United States, vanilla is the most popular flavor. Also from AI.

All poking fun aside (don't take this too seriously), how dull to have vanilla or chocolate as your favorite flavors?
Mine is and continues to be Tiger Tale.
Of course I am being partial:

Tiger tail ice cream, also called tiger tiger or tiger flavour, is a Canadian orange-flavoured ice cream with black liquorice swirl.

Close 2nd would be............

Mint chocolate chip ice cream was invented in 1973 by Marilyn Ricketts in England. Ok, despite that, I really like Mint Chip.

What are YOUR favorite ice cream flavors?

Adversely, if you care to share, what flavors do you avoid?
 
Tiger Tail, ick!

I like chocolate or butter pecan or pistachio or coconut. Orange with a licorice swirl? No, no no no.
 
Chocolate
Cookie dough
Mint chocolate chip.

I said I like pistachio. I've never liked licorice, or anise, or fennel.
 
There's a coffee ice cream I sometimes buy from Trader Joe's. Smooth, velvety .... I'm smitten by it.
 

Favorite would be moose tracks which is vanilla with peanut butter cups and fudge or cookies n cream.

The worst is something like bubblegum, way too sweet.
 
It all depends on where you shop for ice cream.
A good vanilla ice cream with raspberry coulis,
Pistachio ice cream with rose syrup,
lemon and basil gelato,
Haagen daz dulce de leches,
used to be my favorites.
Overseas we had spaghetti ice cream from an Italian gelateria and their combo of strawberry and lemon was fantastic.
Now everything is just too sweet anymore.
I will NEVER put an orange licorice combo in my mouth.
 
Orange Sherbet
Chocolate
French Vanilla
Mint Chocolate Chip
Daiquiri Ice (Baskin Robbins)
Pistachio
Butter Pecan
 
Oh, but vanilla when done right is such a glorious taste. It's why nearly all recipes for baked goodies include it.

Plain chocolate is also exciting - but there are more ways of doing chocolate so it's trickier getting the right one. And I find the chocolate experience changes a lot as the ice cream warms up - from the 1st bite (or lick) to the last.

Would love to try that. Might have to explore on my own. Though how to do the licorice flavoring? Only high quality ones, please.

Oh, is that a Canadian flavor? If so, where about would I have to get to?
 
Not a fan of black licorice so I would pass on the tiger tail.
I do tend to like flavor though, salted carmel, rocky road, etc. but a real good quality vanilla ice cream is very good.
 
For all the vanilla lovers on here:

You DO know why nowadays something is called "so vanilla", don't ya?

Sheesh, talk about living dull lives. Just SO vanilla.

It's about flavor.
Good quality vanilla ice cream is good.
Is it my favorite flavor? No.
