Kawartha has this salted caramel truffle flavour I fucking miss so bad from when I lived in Ontario, or that PC Black label bourbon vanilla is soo good if I actually go to (local Loblaw’s variant, not doxxing myself) but usually I go to Sobeys cause it’s closer so I get stuck with regular Chapman’s or Haagen-Dasz which is fine but it’s just not really the same but I don’t wanna go all the way to (city redacted) just to get an ice cream because why would i do that. Anyways, what’s your guyses’s favourite ice cream. Gimme some suggestions available in canuckistan or stuff to try when I visit the US.
Here’s an article for you.
To Defy the United States, Fidel Castro Built the World’s Greatest Ice Cream Parlor
I want to go to there, but truly I’m afraid to meet my ice cream heroes.
Marble slab creamery if there’s any still around here in canada. They do the whole song and dance mixing the ice cream on a cold slab with the flavours using these metal scraper things. Pretty sure they still exist. Otherwise i just fuck with the radioactive ice cream sandwiches I have the taste of a raccoon
Oh shit! Looks like they have one in Halifax so I will have to try this out next time I’m there!
“A revolution without ice-cream is a revolution not worth having” — OP
There was this ice cream cone that had a slightly sour citrusy outer layer, delicious pear ice cream that was not overly sweet, and a core of salty toffee ice cream. It was the perfect ice cream cone, and those bastards stopped selling it. All the others taste so much worse in comparison now that they don’t even seem worth buying.
You might like the PC Black Label Yuzu Citrus flavour. That whole combo sounds pretty baller, but you’d get a similar sourish citrusy ice cream vibe, maybe!
my ice cream hot takes:
- ben and jerry’s has gone to shit since they sold to unilever
- peanut butter is a criminally underrated ice cream mix-in
- it is too damn hard to find banana ice cream these days
I don’t wanna go all the way to (city redacted) just to get an ice cream because why would i do that.
Comrades get long-distance Ice Cream, as a treat.
can’t imagine going 20 minutes each way across a car bridge on a bicycle to go to a grocery store when I could just not do that and go to the other more different grocery store that’s like 3 blocks from my house
Local Ice Cream Desert
Local Ice Cream DessertUnder socialism every street corner shall have an incredibly convenient little store where planning and feedback tailors its inventory to the neighborhood! I’m both being funny and serious!
Tillamook icecream is pretty good. They make this pecan-caramel thats fucking amazing.
Seconding this
I also like their White Chocolate Raspberry
Cornish cream or Scottish tablet. That’s all you need
I don’t think I’ve ever seen either of these flavours in north america. Will have to try sometime if I ever visit the Cracker Peninsula.
Lol, the cracker Peninsular. Love it. Probably the only reason to visit
In the early 2010s Blue Bell did a limited edition Red Velvet Cake ice cream that was my favorite thing ever. I didn’t know it was limited edition and was heartbroken when it disappeared. Blue Bell hasn’t indicated they’re ever gonna bring it back.😔
Last year Walmart released a hilariously tonedeaf Juneteenth ice cream that was absolutely torn apart on social media to the point Walmart was just flat out throwing the ice cream out. It wasn’t till after i learned it was Red Velvet flavor.
I’m like 99% sure I’ve seen a red velvet flavour from halo top. Not sure if this helps.
Oh shit! Thanks! Gotta check that out!
malted milk & coffee are the best flavors imo
I just recently learned you can buy malt powder at the grocery store and have been switching up my occcasional evening bowl of chocolate ice cream.
Mmm, ice cream so good mmm 🤤 gang gang
Pop pop pop!
Idk how to post emojis from Sync, but (I’m vegan.) Vegan ice cream is a little trickier since you’re relying heavily on whatever the base is made of for taste. YMMV but for me, Oat milk base is best, Almond is fine, Coconut is meh because its very overpowering and all flavors taste like coconut, anything with pea protein in it is gross, and so is that weirdo Avocado ice cream that was probably created to harm the reputation of vegan food.
All that said, try the So Delicious brand that you can get at Walmart or probably other supermarkets. They have Oat, Almond, and Cashew bases that are all pretty good no matter what flavor you get. I like the double chocolate chunk, I think its called, because I used to be a huge chocolate head whenever birthdays and stuff came around.
You don’t like Avocado? The concept weirded me out at first, but I’ve had Avocado shakes with chocolate and I loooove it
Someone I know informed me there are a lot of recipes online for making your own vegan ice cream with avocado, so I’m wondering if it’s a Tofurky situation where old-school vegans were eating avocado ice cream before we had access to all the fancy brands we do now. That was before my time, but it would make sense. I’m not an avocado hater in other contexts, I just don’t think it makes a very good dairy replacement. I pile them onto my burritos though. It’d definitely be my last choice if I were trying to convince someone to go vegan.
Haha dang you bringing up Tofurkey in that context is real. I remember eating tofurkey like 14 years ago and it was soooo gross but years later the Italian Sausagr they make became a staple in my house and still is, and I’m an omnivore.
I tried the Avocado smoothie at an Asian restaurant I was eating at a while ago. I feel like I’ve seen them on Vietnamese and Thai menus a lot, so I think sweet Avocado preparations have been around for a long time. I know I’ve definitely gotten weird looks when I’ve told people about them though so I agree I don’t think it would be the first thing to have a someone skeptical to Veganism try for sure
This is heresy, and I know it. But I fucking love Talenti’s Roman Raspberry sorbet. Almost as good as when I visited Italy years ago. Not ice cream, per se, but it makes me very happy.
Sorbet fucking rules. Raspberry sorbet with either shaved chocolate or m&m’s in it 🤌
oh my god, bless that sounds amazin
If I see it at a store, i like the Milk Bar birthday cake ice cream. I’ve been on a PB ice cream kick tho lately. Idk if that place is available in Canada tho.
