Walking along the river today we stumbled across an ice cream van. One look at each other, and we were off at a run towards it. We pushed aside the small children que-ing... Obviously She had some ridiculous flake based nonsense that had sprinkles and sauce (I ask you 🙄 ) Whilst I was amazed to see you could still get these!!!

OMG. I used to get these when I was about 6!!
surely the best? and of course you get to look cool, chewing your piece of bright blue bubble gum. AND you get a blue toungue!!
surely one of man's greatest creations?

No contest. Salcombe mud ftw 🙂
Hang on, aren't you like 18 or something? I was eating twoball screwballs when I was 7 and they were 10p I think.
EDIT 8p, and 10p with an extra bubblegum.
the problem with Ben & Jerry's, is it's trying too hard to be "different".
I mean marshmallows in ice cream? uncooked biscuits? nuts are bad enough but somewhat traditional. And then there's the price...
not convinced.
we have some Haagen Dasz vanilla in the freezer. it can bloody well stay there, that's overrated as well. watery.
Retro-tastic.

Ben and Jerry's is good for mass produced but you can't beat a small producer.

Llama is correct Cherry Garcia FTW
Molly, I'm nearly 20 I'll have you know LOL!!
but you can't beat a small producer.
Yes you can. Just because you're small doesn't automatically make your ice cream good, as I can testify.
Of course, this is STW, and people really DO seem to believe that the fewer people that have heard of something the better it is.
I'm not sure that was my claim grips in fact I know it wasn't. Small producers of most things tend to be better but of course your right some are crap. But a good small producer is way better than a good mass producer, which was my point.
Molly, I'm nearly 20 I'll have you know LOL!!
*checks diary* I think we had an early-life crisis planned for late May didn't we?
Anyhow...

Can't be beaten IMO! Hockings Ice Cream...

This is all you need

That
Or the stuff at The Bench in St David's, although the proprietor is a bit of a knob.
Or my local - Stewarts Tower or Janettas in St Andrews
Mmmm ice cream
I have that effect on a lot of people emsz, no need to be ashamed.
Sammie-Louise x
*was more likely to forget my own name*
[i]no need to be ashamed.[/i]
probably not, but I am going to have to be very very drunk... 😆
I'm not a massive ice cream fan, but good old raspberry ripple does it for me.
Flake 99 on a hot day can't be beaten.
Do you like rum & raisin ice cream then emsz?
Raisins euuurgh
rat poo. bleeeurghhhhhh
Twoball screwball was aways bonus but a good rum and raisin always goes down well. Near Windmere boat bit, or is it Bowness, anyway, there is a place that does Grannies Apple Pie icecream, lovely 🙂
Thayers
I can pick the raisins out? How about just having some rum? 😀
Salcombe Dairy, Joes or Burgess. Nothing else is really any good at all!
Hmmmm, Margot Leadbetter....yum! 😉
Yes, rum, lots and lots of rum. Although, there's a high probability of me throwing up all over you, OK?
Raisins are yummy - not at all like rat poo.
Rum on the other hand is awful, and rum and raisin anything is nasty.
Btw have any of you lot been to a Culvers?
[i]Raisins are yummy[/i]
No they're not, I think you'll find they're horrible 😀
No they are nice, otherwise why would I eat them?
Molgrips - You shouldn't be on this thread! Unless it's your cheat day of course.
emsz - you're supposed to want this crisis too. Now you're saying you're going to get drunk, then be sick on me. I don't feel special anymore....
*shakes head*... you lesbians are so difficult for a man to please!
[please don't ban me, pretty please]
LOLing at Yeti. GF has... I'll ask her for advice, OK?
Good to see Hockings mentioned!
i happen to work for them and it never fails to amaze how many people from all over the country seem to know it or remember it from holidays in North Devon!
I've always liked [url= http://www.everypoet.com/archive/poetry/Wallace_Stevens/wallace_stevens_the_emperor_of_ice_cream.htm ]The Emperor of Ice Cream[/url]
No nuts or fudgey bits though.
On the A51 between Chester and Crewe
Fantastic ice cream loads of flavours, farm setting with goats and pigs to entertain the kids and fantastic huge straw sculptures in the field every year
Is a compulsory stop en route to my parents, even the dog knows when we approach and gets all excited!
Eithe there or Bluebells in Spondon, Derby as recently approved by Prince Charles
3rd place goes to the ice cream place in Parkgate on the Wirral

Tom, where can you buy Maxibons in this country? I got some from Tesco once a while back but haven't seen them since.
Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie for me *opens tub, prepares to eat it all after todays ride*
Purbeck.
Especially the Honeycomb Hash, Tiramisu or Cider Sorbet!
Best enjoyed on a sunny July day at Lulworth Cove.
Best ice cream ever tasted (& sweetest thing on the planet) - Strawberry mashmallow sundae
Gi'us a spoon then DirtyG!

Safer and much easier than riding down Snowdon.
*passes yeti a spoon* you'll have to be quick as there's not much left...think i should maybe eat some proper food now!
Not tried much nicer than Mario's Supermix, although a good Rum & Raisin comes close 🙂
Also a very nice place called Heavenly in Llandeilo that make thier own ice cream in loads of different flavours. Christmas Pudding flavour is a particular favourite. They also did a Chrsitmas Dinner ice cream, but I didn't fancy trying that...

There isn't enough STW niche'ism on this thread, so the fantastically named Gay Odin chocolatiere on via Benedette Croce in Naples is the best ice cream I have ever tasted. I'm foaming at mouth just thinking about their rum and dark chocolate.
Last night the mrs made some homemade rhubarb crumble ice-cream, I was dubious at first but it was indeed glorious
