Chocolate or Strawberry Icecream?

My sis and I have fights all the time on which is better: Chocolate or Strawberry Icecream? I go for the chocolate, but she says strawberry is better. what do you think?

Depends upon the brand. I'll settle for Hagen-Daaz Strawberry, though.

CHOCOLATE!!!!! Tell your sister to get REAL taste budds! Chocolate rule!!!

A really strong flavored Strawberry, with Strawberry Ripple and Whole Strawberries wins the decision for me.

Well, sometimes strawberry is better, but only specific brands. Otherwise, I'll settle for chocolate.

I like both, just depends on my mood. But there are few things that beat strawberry ice cream with big chunks of frozen strawberries on a hot summer day. You can feel a chill as you swallow the frozen strawberries, very refreshing.

Blue Bunny strawberry works for me. Big chunks of strawberries with their luscious ice cream.

Strawberry, hands down!!

Either is great, especially in a sundae with the other as a topping - Strawberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce, or Chocolate ice cream with strawberry topping.

CHOCOLATE-- hands down.. no fight about it... (not in my book anyway)

if those are our only choices i will have a two scoop cone---one strwbewrry--one chocolate!

I agree with tiki - Cocolate AND strawberry! YUM!

I've become a big strawberry fan in recent years, but I haven't found any great grocery strawberry brands. Actually, I prefer Breyer's strawberry way more than Hagen-Daaz.

But for a really great strawberry experience, go to Cold Stone Creamery and have them mix in their real strawberries and chopped almonds with their strawberry ice cream. My wife and I think it's out of this world. Just excellent. - Rusty

Rusty when I started reading your post, I figured that you preferred a lower fat ice cream. IMO Breyers is just north of ice milk, while the HD is one of the high fat brands. When you mentioned that CS is your favorite, I started to wonder, because CS is also a higher fat brand. Interesting.

CHOCOLATE!!! WITH CARAMEL AND SPRINKLES AND MORE CHOCOLATE AND WHIP CREAM AND CHERRIES AND MMMM



Much love to y'all

it depends on the brand and the season.. in very hot weather I prefer fruit flavors.. and the best strawberry I've had is a local brand called Braun's...
For chocolate it must be very intense and not too sweet... Godiva brand dark chocolate ice cream works well..

Tmiles -

I hear you and I can't explain the seeming inconsistency.

But Haagen-Daaz strawberry was just absolutely bland for me, flatter than flat, albeit with the high-fat essence you describe (which I found cloying and nasty), and far fewer berries (or even berry bits) than I might have expected to find in such a high-quality ice cream.

OTOH, I find Breyer's strawberry taste to be creamier and smoother, with a truer fruit flavor, although I will concede there may be better grocery brands to be found, if you might recommend some.

I do have to politely disagree with you about Breyer's. Their natural vanilla and butter almond cannot be beat, in my book. I wait in vain for a Breyer's pistachio flavor. I should really try their peach.

As for my Cold Stone strawberry recommendation, I urge you to give it a try. It's really sensational if mixed as described, just sticking with their strawberry ice cream, real strawberries and chopped almonds. I don't know if that can be topped, actually, by another strawberry brand.

Vanilla.

If it’s between premium quality strawberry or chocolate ice cream, that’s a tough call. But if it’s lower quality, I generally stick with chocolate, since that can still be satisfying, while artificially flavored strawberry ice cream is always a letdown.

A high butterfat chocolate, on the other hand any high butterfat ice cream.

I like chocolate. I like strawberry. I like vanilla. I hate neapolitan.

I'm with meowzart -- almost. French vanilla.
