I especially love coffee icecream and birthday cake icecream.

How about you?

and..

What's better soft or hard icecream?

I prefer hard ice cream - mint chocolate chip or just plain chocolate chip.

I hate ice cream, but I love frozen yogurt! The wonderfulness that is frozen yogurt.

I had chestnut ice cream in France and I knew I'd never find it in the states, so I gorged myself on it. Banana ice cream is too rare but oh so good.

I don't "get" people who don't like ice cream. Has a mutant gene been identified yet?

Son! How wonderful to see you posting!

Anyway, ice cream is one of life's little joys. I love it when it just starts to melt and you can stir it around like pudding. Can't ID a favorite...it all depends on time, place, and mood.

But I will say that I tasted Key Lime Pie ice cream at a place called Mitchell's in Ohio and it was pretty memorable. Another flavor (at Applegate Farms in NJ) I never expected to like is Cantaloupe.

And Peppermint Candy ice cream, especially if it is the elusive pink color, is a shot straight down memory lane to my childhood. Grandma used to serve a scoop with a drizzle of Bosco as a special dessert. She also served vanilla with a healthy dose of Creme de Menthe on holidays. Not haute cuisine, but pretty tasty.

I'm more of a gelato person, but every now and then I like a Vanilla Malt cone from the ice cream parlor near me.

No one has brought up Ben and Jerry's yet? Well, I guess I will. I don't think my life would be as good as it is without Ben and Jerry's.

Favorite flavors: Strawberry cheesecake swirl, Brownie Batter, oatmeal Cookie Chunk, Fossil Fuel. OMGSOGOOD.

I just realized that the majority of those involve baked goods. Oh well. I like to mix baked goods with ice cream, especially brownies.

Black walnut ice cream. (to DIE for!)

The best ice cream in the world was the vanilla ice cream we would have at my grandma's house when I was little. The whole family would get together on a Sunday and the old wooden ice cream churn would come out. Grandma made the recipe that went inside and my dad and uncles would take turns churning it. When it was frozen we'd eat it with fresh strawberries from grampa's garden.

Now that was heaven...

In Lake George, NY, a few years ago, I had the best icecream at this little no-name place. It was softserve orange and cream. It had bits of orange and it was the creamiest ice cream ever. The best part about this place is that the icecream towers 10" above the top of the cone... and that's a small! We drove over an hour from where we were staying to get it some days.

Okay, you'll have to describe what chocolate "stracciatella" ice cream is.

A "stracciatello" in Italy is a rag-picker. The "stracciatella" I prepare for the holidays is basically chicken egg drop soup with either spinach or escarole in it. (The egg drops and the spinach or escarole look a bit like rags if you use your imagination).

I can't see how this could possibly apply to chocolate ice cream

Anyhow, my favorite ice cream is spumoni.

Best we ever had is a toss up between a little cart atop the Spanish steps in Rome and a place in Florence on Von Stinke St I believe (the spelling of the street is wrong but close enough)

Dollypop, this is the best I can find to describe the process. It's basically razor thin shards of bitter chocolate in vanilla ice cream. It's simpleness belies it's promise, it's highly addictive: - )

"Stracciatella comes in solid form but its characteristic low melting point means it can easily be re-melted for application either in Chocolate melters or even Microwave Ovens. Once melted it can be poured into Ice Cream or Sorbet just before freezing which produces 'shards' of Stracciatella creating both an appealing look to the product and adding extra taste sensations to the Ice Cream or Sorbet."

Godiva Belgian dark chocolate ice cream is absolutely divine. Even if two scoops of it is approximately 60% of your daily saturated fat intake.

Hagen Daaz Carmel Cone ice cream is amazing. As is Caramel Moose Prints and Chocolate Peanut Butter from Emack and Bolio.

Wow...BOSCO!!!

I adore pistachio ice cream, too...and spumoni (especially the pistachio part!). Anna Marie's Restaurant in Dupont Circle has some of the best spumoni I ever had.

I also used to eat Reese's Peanut Butter Ice Cream, which was vanilla ice cream with chocolate and peanut butter strewn throughout and pieces of actual Reese's every so often.

Oh, and Turkey Hill made a vanilla ice cream with chocolate-covered pretzels which I used to buy 2 gallons at a time when I lived in Philadelphia.

Pistachio is my all time favorite. In some Japanese restaurants I have had green tea ice cream which is also very good. I need to watch my sugar intake and Friendly's makes a retail variety with Splenda called Black Paspberry that is excellent.
