That's why I put, "Other." :wink: I wasn't about to list every flavor on Earth; and from how it looks so far, most people are fine with the selection. :D

Dang, I can't even remember the last time I had ice cream but my favorite used to be the 31 Flavors "Chocolate Fudge" or whatever that really, really dark chocolate flavor is called.

I haven't had ice cream in a long time, and I probably won't be having any in the near future, since I'm watching what I eat in an attempt to lose weight. I have a few favorite flavors. Maple Walnut is near the top of the list. Sadly, it's very difficult to get here in Pittsburgh. It seems to only be popular in New England.

One of my favorites that I can get in this city is a peanut butter mixed ice cream. Produced by a company called Hagan, I believe. Third to that would be the Reese's peanut butter cup ice cream which I believe is available nationally. Can you tell that I love peanut butter? Fourth after that would be any non-chocolate ice cream with nuts in it.

I'm kinda pathetic because I live about 10-20 blocks from one of the best ice cream shops in the country (Dave and Andy's for you connoisseurs who keep track of this stuff). Sadly, I have to be careful with non-storebought ice cream since I have a semi-severe allergy to eggs.

Belgian style chocolate is the super buttery-smooth milk chocolate, right?

I'm a dark chocolate fan myself. 8)

Maple Walnut and Butter Brittle from Fisher's in Reading Terminal Market.

Generally, I like any ice cream that's not made with thickeners like guar gum and carageenan. This rules out just about every supermarket brand, especially that poseur Ben & Jerry's garbage, which tastes like a frozen accident between a candy aisle and a McDonald's "milkshake". I'd rather eat crayons. Breyers Natural Vanilla and Turkey Hill Philadelphia Style are still okay. But I always prefer hand-dipped.
