Which ice cream flavor reminds you of your youth?
Which ice cream flavor reminds you of your youth?
Cherry for me, my grandma would always have it and it was always delicious.
(I ask this as I am eating cherry ice cream)
Raspberry ripple!
Neapolitan. We always seemed to have it around when I was very young.
Plain vanilla dyed blue; they used to call it delfino I think
Bryers vanilla would if it was the same as it used to be. That was my go to add a kid. It sucks now.
Orange sherbet in a cone. My grandfather used to get it for me after taking me to the park to play when I was around 4-6 or so. He passed away almost a decade ago and every time I have some, I think of him. He was the best.
Strawberry.
Boysenberry
Plain old vanilla. We used to get those big gallon buckets of ice cream cause they were cheap.
chip'n'mint
Same. I didn't care for it much. My dad always got the good stuff, vanilla.
Honeycomb, from the northern Irish ice cream shop that was Queen Elizabeth's favourite. The only shop they ever made outside of NI was in Windsor as the queen liked it.
Hoodsie cups in the northeast.
Tutti Frutti. I mean, I hated it then and probably wouldn't like it as an adult but it seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid.
Two come to mind.
- Classic cookies n’ cream
- The 1-gallon vanilla-fudge swirl that they used(?) to sell at walmart. I think it was called the party bucket or something like that.
Those two flavors usually take me back
Vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles (or jimmies for certain nor-easterners). I even have one tattooed on my arm as part of a boardwalk sleeve.
Not gonna lie, I don't know all I remember about it was that I grew up in London UK and it was yellow. It was like standard ice cream growing up but I have no idea what it is.
Oh, and Snickers ice cream. It conjures up images of vacationing in Holland or Denmark and trying to fish for crabs with a cord and a cracked open clam. For some reason I feel like the clam tastes like the caramel from the Snickers.
Lemon in an absolutely tasteless cone. I don't have a specific image in my head except for the ice in one of those factory made cones.
Plus the song Gelato Al Limon by Paolo Conte. My parents had it on cassette and we would hear it in the car all the time.
Whisky & Ginger, from the front at Whitby Harbour.
Crappy 4L bucket tiger ice cream
soft serve or soft ice. back in the country (GDR) where I grew up there was no other ice cream than that.
"Lilly with nuts." Italian ices
Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ. It was the highlight of my summers as a kid.
