Ice cream should never be dull........



My local excuse for a deli (Montreal has deli's - Vancouver wishes) has this wonderful confection of various flavors with a vanilla base, some cherries, sherbet, nuts and a wonderful syrup at the very bottom which for a few years was wonderfully tasty leaving me wanting more. It was reminiscent of something I couldn't clearly recall...but oh it was nice.

Then it dawned on me. After 30 plus years of sobriety I was tasting RUM!

My alcoholism began finding "legitimate" reasons to keep on buying these things, maybe go for a six pack!

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

As a kid, we used to make ice cream.

It was cream from the dairy, ice, salt, sugar and a lot of ****ing work.

What flavor it was I have no idea but is was sweet and refreshing. I was NOT vanilla. Years later when I ate store bought ice cream all I tasted where chemicals. I think the early experiments to copy real sugar weren't very good.
 
Use to make home made ice cream as a kid also.
In those days you had to add all the ingredients in and hand crank the mixing paddles for what felt like hours.
It was really good though.
 
One of the benefits of living down here in New Zealand is that they do great dairy. Butters, cheeses, and of course ice creams. My all time favourite ice cream is a local one that I think is just an NZ thing. Don't remember seeing it in any other country, but very popular here. It is called "Hokey Pokey". It is like a French Vanilla with small pieces of honeycomb toffee through it which give it a hint of a richer toffee flavour without getting too sweet. That with some home made chocolate sauce (mother Ishms recipe) is my ice cream perfection.

Honourable mentions in the main commercial ranges to Orange with choc chips, Vanilla with natural Strawberry swirl, and Chocolate. You also get a lot of craft style natural fruit infused ice creams here and lots of them are really yummy.

I've never had that in ice cream, but I would love it! I love orange stick candy and the ice cream sounds just as good, if not better.

I confess to picking up a 1/2 gal tub of the orange/choc chip on the weekend. I don't do that too often because my self control is poor when I have it in the freezer! I do really like the orange & chocolate combination. They have a classic local candy here that is orange/choc, and when I used to visit here as a younger person it was always one of my first purchases after arriving. In the UK they have a wonderful cookie with orange/choc that I got addicted to when living there.
 

I would have a hard time resisting that combo too. And in fact I don't keep any ice cream because of my lack of self control. Especially that daiquiri ice - that lime taste makes if very addicting to me.
 
The one thing we love at one year old and at 100 years old is ice cream. I hope it is served in the next life (hot or cold).
 
I mix the vanilla with Hersheys cocoa powder to make a texture of a Dairy Queen ice cream. I remember when I was a kid my dad would cover the vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup the salted peanuts on top and it a Tin Roof. The combo od sweet and salty is great.
