Cherry for me, my grandma would always have it and it was always delicious.
(I ask this as I am eating cherry ice cream)
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.
Orange sherbet was also a thing my step dad gave me, he’d always be excited to bring it home.
Plain old vanilla. We used to get those big gallon buckets of ice cream cause they were cheap.
SUPERMAN!
chip’n’mint
I learned to like it because of Johnny Test, it still is great.
Same. I didn’t care for it much. My dad always got the good stuff, vanilla.
Hokey Pokey ice cream. It’s a vanilla ice cream with honey comb pieces inside of it. I’m positive that most kiwi kids would answer the same way. A close second is boysenberry ice cream.
Same! Passionfruit also. Mmmm.
Pumpkin or peach ice cream has the strongest childhood association for me—a place by the highway sold it fresh & seasonally. These aren’t common flavors either.
What was your first memory of eating it?
Whisky & Ginger, from the front at Whitby Harbour.
Ooo, that sounds like a smacker.
How does it melt?
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.
Hoodsie cups in the northeast.
Bryers vanilla would if it was the same as it used to be. That was my go to add a kid. It sucks now.
Young coconut ice cream. It’s one of those flavors we can easily get from those ice cream carts that stop by the neighborhood usually in the middle of the afternoon. There’s also mango and avocado completing the usual three flavors the cart would have, and I would always buy all three flavors available (unless I really hate the flavor).
Some of the adults would opt to have the ice cream served in a bread bun (usually just repurposed hamburger buns, without the sesame seeds), but I always opted for the sugar cones.
Have you ever tried the bun?
Yep, I tried it. It actually is good with the bun. It’s like a poor man’s ice cream sandwich.
Chocolate chip, without mint, in baskin robbins.
After eight.
As a kid in Italy. A grown up taste but I loved it.
Reminds me of that holiday.I don’t even remember who made them, but the little single serve cups of chocolate ice cream with the wooden spoon
Boysenberry. It’s weirdly become very rare at least where I live. It used to be quite common
