All from Graeter's:
Orange and Cream (tastes like an old-fashioned creamsicle!)
Blueberry Pie
Black Cherry

I recently had Graeter's black cherry, and it's a winner for me. Of course I'm waiting for the wonderful peach ice cream come summer.

My favorite of all time is probably the individually wrapped spumoni slices you sometimes get served at Italian weddings ... that and Italian Lemon Ices (I know, not exactly an ice cream).

When I was a kid and going out for ice cream to Baskin & Robbins I'd usually order a double dip ... Daiquiri Ice and Lime Sherbet.

I liked Blue Moon and Superman as well.

Recently, I had an awesome sundae made with vanilla ice cream, Coca-Cola syrup and salted peanuts on top. It was a bit like putting salted peanuts in your bottle of Coke when you drink it.

Chocolate and peanut butter (the kind that has swirls of PB, not Reese's cups or anything).

I was in New England in August, where i'm from, and had the best ice cream ever. Cotton candy at The beach Plum in Rye New Hampshire. It was almost whipped cream texture with cotton candy mixed in. I don't know how they do it. I am a big fan of black raspberry, but have not found a good one in a long time. Also, I love the seasonal flavor pumpkin. I had it at Big Daddy's in Wells Maine. Delish.
I live in Florida now and ice cream is not big down here like it is in the northeast, buttttt, I did have great icecream at The Waffle Cone in Flagler Beach.

A few days ago I had my first taste of Jeni's at the North Market in Columbus. It was whiskey pecan. Very good, but actually too many pecans and not enough icecream. I still prefer Graeter's Summer Peach. Unfortunately it's now gone since it's no longer summer.

That reminds me of a fun flavor called Secret Breakfast which you can get at Humphry Slocombe in SF. It's bourbon and cornflakes in vanilla ice cream. I mean, not real bourbon you can get drunk on, but by association, I felt like I should be getting a buzz from it. :)

Mine is Peanut Butter Chip or some variation.

I'm definitely in the pralines and cream fan club, with Mitchell's in SF being the best I've ever tasted. Gelato--fresh ginger. Awesome.

Well, a good vanilla can't be beat, but coffee flavoured is my absolute go to. If a place offers it, I'll likely get it.

My favorite is anything involving mint. I love mint. Neapolitan is a close runner-up, although I guess technically that's not really a "flavor," per se...

I like vanilla frozen custard. Unfortunately, most places claiming to serve "frozen custard" actually serve soft-serve ice cream, regardless of what the law says.

With my absolute favorite ice cream flavor, Velvet's Brandied Peach, not available I am currently enamored of Graeter's Summer Peach and Velvet's Peach Cobbler.

Several years ago Braum's (a TX - OK dairy store chain) made a wonderful flavor: Chocolate Pecan Divinity. It brought back fond memories of ma grandmere who used to make divinity from scratch. Unfortunately, Braum's has discontinued the flavor.

But the flavor that has stood the test of time for my tastebuds is BR's "Jamocha Almond Fudge", but their prices have come to offend me. How can Braum's profitably sell two huge scoops in a waffle cone for $1.89 while BR wants 5 BUCKS for two miserly scoops on a sugar cone (and allow a friggin' tip jar, to boot)?

My latest "fad" (actually ice cream frenzy) is to make myself a caramel/cashew sundae with Breyer's Natural Vanilla which Sam's Club sells for $6.89 a full gallon.

(Ah, my latest e-mail from COSTCO informs me that they are now discounting NutriSystem!)

Black Baspeberry was very common in New England where I grew up. It's still among my favorites.
I also like SOME vanilla ice creams. Yes, vanilla. Vanilla gets a bad rap (often deservedly so) for being boring.   Much of it is boring. The problem is that most vanillas are TOO WEAKLY flavored, so you taste mostly the cream, and not enough actual vanilla. But, it's wondeful when you get a really good, strongly flavored vanilla. It is not boring when it has enough flavor.
At milk shake places that add flavor syrups, I have them do a triple shot of vanila.   It will light up your taste buds!

As I recall from my Arlington/McLean days, Giant Foods' "house brand" had a strong vanilla taste and "won" several WaPo "taste tests".

#1 favorite of all time - Lemon Ice Box Pie that I used to get at the old Janus Theatre ice cream shop in Greensboro.
Since that is no more, I've been making do with Lemony Sunshine made by Front Porch, a Carolina Churned ice cream that is quite good.

Haven't had the opportunity to try Graeter's yet. Maybe on my next trip East next year. My current favorite is Baskin-Robbins chocolate fudge. It has a very dense texture and deep flavor.

Re:Favorite flavor (mayor al)

For many years Pralines and Cream was my top choice, with Jamocha Almond Fudge second, and Pink Grapefruit Ice a close third. All from Baskins/ Robbins.
Now Graeter's is the source with Toffe Chip, Mocha Chip, and Fresh Peach being my favorites.

Has anyone noticeds that Sherbets are fading from the grocery freezers? We used to get quite a variety of flavors, now they have all disappeared except for the three color buckets in our local stores.

@lleechef-that gelato flavour has a wonderful tartness to it, and smooth texture..mmmm.

Since Mr. Hoffman could not get his Brandied Peach ice cream he decided on BORING vanilla. I got Limoncellato Gelato and it is delicious.

Michael Hoffman==brandied Peach..that sounds wonderful. Sad how they get rid of good stuff.

My favorite flavor hasn't been available in years. It's the Brandied Peach from Velvet Ice Cream in Utica, Ohio. Until a couple of years ago I'd call Velvet once a year asking whether they'd be bringing it back, and every year I'd be told it hadn't been decided.

Any flavor from The Creamery at Penn State.
ROAR LIONS, ROAR!!!
Ice Cream NOT worth the price - Cold Stone Creamery

Cold Stone Creamery is WAY over priced and does not measure up taste wise. Place was empty the other day..saturday afternoon, hot, not a customer is sight. I had a sample taste, did not like it and looked at the price and left.
