What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

This roadside icecream place that's only open in the summer and makes all their stuff in house, by hand, has this flavor called triple chocolate chunk and it's got to be the best chocolate ice cream i ever had. Aside from that, ..... strawberry. Got to be strawberry.

I love ice-cream of all kinds, it really depends on my mood as to what flavour is my favourite. I usually categorise ice-cream into three types, though: refreshing, sickening and mild. Refreshing ice-creams are usually fruity flavours and usually include gelattis and frozen yoghurt and other stuff that doesn't make you throw up after eating a big dinner. Sickening are the really rich flavours like chocolates and caramels and stuff like that, the stuff that is really superifically yummy and orgasmic to your taste buds but isn't best to eat on a full stomach. Mild icecreams are ones that are usually a vanilla base, nothing too sweet nor strong.
Out of refreshing ice-creams my favourite flavours are coconut (YUMMM!), mango, anything kind of berry flavour or black sesame (I had this in Japan, black sesame deserts are really awesome).
On the other hand if I was in the mood for something sickening I would probably have something with white chocolate flavour, usually chocolate chips (white, milk or both) and either chocolate or caramel fudge swirls.
For something more mild, I'd have to say I love macadamia nut ice-cream, as well as cookies'n'cream or Hokey Pokey ice-cream (I believe it is originally from New Zealand, it has bits of hard toffee throughout the ice-cream).
Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.

For mixed flaovur combo's it's simply gotta be either "Pralene's and Creme" or "Rum and Raisin".
Single flavour straight up ... Bittersweet Chocolate Fudge bar none.
Under Canadian Law, by definition, ice cream sold anywhere in Canada (if labelled "Ice Cream") must contain a minimum of 30% butter-fat; the same Law that dictates that Homogenized Milk must contain a minimum of 4% butter-fat, although you'd be hard-pressed to find any containing more than 2%; but as with most things these days, the Law governing this is routinely ignored for expediency sake (and of course COST) and you're lucky if you can find ice cream that has more than 4% butter-fat. Of course with the reduction of butter-fat has come the widespread use of cargeen gum, carnuba wax, and other dirivative addins to simulate the texture the butter-fat, and maintain an acceptable price-point.
Like most everyone Canadians have come to live in a society that has welcomed and fostered the over-processing of our foods, and the preponderance of "Meals-made-ready-to-eat", repleat with expensive flashy (sorta says something about the consumer's intellect doesn't it?) and environment unfriendly packaging. The reality of artificually augmented ice cream is only one such abhorrent found at our local gocery stores.
There is hope though ... like those road-side vendors Sammy and Andy speak of, Devon Dairy (a regional Ontario manufacturer) still services what is known locally here at "Cottage Country" with it's distinctive rose-shaped trademark visibly displayed on screen-doors and coolers wherever ice cream is served by the scoop, and nary an enclosed Shopping Mall is in sight. Devon's ice-cream is still made that olde-fashioned way, and yes it contains 30% butter-fat, with no artifial flavours or addins ... and Lordy ... one lick and you'd have thought you'd done died and gone to heaven; but realists Devon Dairy is, knowing they could never, ever, compete in the wider urban mass-market, they remain content to serve the boondocks which have largely been ignored by the Dairy Queens', Good Humours', Baskin' Robbins', Nestle's, Laura Secords', Fanny Farmer's, Ben and Jerrys' and other of their ilk.
The cost of a single scoop of Devon ice cream ... about CDN$5.00 ... but believe me ... worth every bloody cent! No fancy flavours either ... just the basics: vanilla (doesn't have to be labelled French or otherwise, the colour of burnished amber, and so rich you break out in a cold sweat), chocolate (three varieties dependent solely on the sugar content - traditional, double, and bittersweet), strawberry, cherry, blueberry and raspberry (each in season with crushed pulp and seeds to boot) orange, lemon, lime and a couple of others.
Incidently, for those that collect arcane trivia, Saskatchewan is the only place in the whole world where ice cream still must be made with 30% butter-fat or it cannot be labelled (and sold) as such, and accounts for why Dairy Queen's (they are the only manufacturer here routinely using the medium) television advertisiments (on Canadian T.V.) stipulate their offerings are made with ice-milk, excepting in Saskatchewan, where it is real ice-cream. I have to wonder just how long Saskatewchewan consumer's will be able to hold out.
