I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Okay I admit this time of the year is not particularly conducive to the enjoyment of ice cream. Miserable weather, dark evenings and freezing temperatures. It’s a far cry from the conditions in which one is meant to enjoy ice cream. The ideal is surely a hot summers day in Italy, walking the streets of turin, breathing in the warm air, the smell of hot pizza wafting through the cobbled streets, beautiful women floating past and the occasional Mini being chased by a Fiat in the distance.
Sadly this is grimy England. Here are three of the best ice cream flavours:
Half Baked
Ben and Jerry’s make a wide range of obscure ice cream flavours that include Pumpkin Cheesecake, Turtle Soup and Phish Food. But their best has to be Half Baked which is a mixture of two of the most popular variations Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Cookie Dough. The two are combined into a single punnet with delicious consequences.
Vanilla
Okay, this is probably the least sexy, least flashy flavour of ice cream but like Claire Danes this plain Jane grows on you. It can be combined with any desert or any other flavour of ice cream and can in its own right be gloriously flavoursome. A good vanilla ice cream is not a tasteless substitute.
Goat Ice Cream
Has to make the list for sheer absurdity. Goat ice cream, like most things that seem really weird to us, is, I am told, very popular in Japan. Made predominantly from goat’s milk but also including other aspects of a goat’s anatomy this ice cream probably pips rivals horseflesh ice cream and eel ice cream to the prize for the most ludicrous ice cream. Well done goat.
