Re: Favourite ice creams
I've got an electric Cuisinart ice cream maker which doesn't get as much use as it should to justify it's cost. I don't usually like commercial mint ice cream but I make a mint chocolate chip one using creme de menthe which is rather good. And although I don't drink rum, I do like a rum and raisin ice cream.

Many years ago, the son of The Lakes Ice Cream company was always inviting my friend's daughter to go out for a meal, but she kept turning him down. Just think, all that ice cream!

Re: Favourite ice creams
There’s a pub on Tresco, an island in the Isles of Scilly which sell a peanut ice cream. It is scrumptious. I also love any caramel or toffee flavours. I do really like mini cornettos too (or the full size ones to be fair )
Re: Favourite ice creams
I'm afraid I am partial to practically all imaginable ice cream and sorbet flavours, except rum and raisin or sherry trifle or similar ... consequently it's always very hard for me to decide what flavour to have and if OH has a different one to me I inevitably wish I'd had that

Re: Favourite ice creams
My absolute favourite is hazelnut, but I also like most flavours of really good gelato. I am not keen on the Mr Whippy type either. Purbeck ice cream is great, the only time I have had a chance to try it , I went for a blackcurrant ripple type of thing, but there were proper blackcurrants in it.
Re: Favourite ice creams
Oooh that black currant sounds good and Keen Cook 2, food envy is the worst isn’t it !!

Re: Favourite ice creams
Ice cream is something I eat rarely, have no real interest in the cheaply made stuff but like a really nice one. Of no use whatsoever is the information that W'rose used to do a clotted cream ice cream with apricots. Utterly delicious and no longer available. I remember some nice ice cream from the Scillies, one flavour was rose geranium iirc.
A properly creamy ice cream made with real vanilla is a delight, I've moaned before about the commoditising of 'vanilla' and subsequently the use of the word as a synonym of blandness. There's a Scottish brand, Mackie's I think, that make an unflavoured product labelled 'traditional', but customers call it vanilla anyway.
Ronaldo's gooseberry is nice if you're ever in East Angular.

I think it is useful information - in case anyone wants to try to make something similar!

Re: Favourite ice creams
I used to like the Loseley Farm ice creams, I think they had apricot and certainly Acacia Honey and Stem Ginger

Re: Favourite ice creams
Gooseberry sounds amazing . If anyone has ever made ice cream at home, I recommend Nigellas no churn method , produces great results

Re: Favourite ice creams
I love the Kelly’s advert too, in Oxford I found a Kelly’s ice cream van, soft ice cream out of a Mr Whippy style machine, but proper Kelly’s flavour. Heaven.

Re: Favourite ice creams
I have haven't had ice cream in the house for a long time now, so I bought a tub of Kelly's Vanilla the other week from Tesco.... it seemed about the best one in the freezer I thought. However I was quite disappointed in that if I was doing a blind tasting I would have thought it was one of the cheaper ones. IMHO the best thing about it was the tub it came in . Perhaps it had been so long since I last bought/ate ice cream that my memory exceeded my experience
