I love chocolate ice cream, it doesn't suck!

I have to agree about soft serve. Once CBS bought it the quality went to hell. But now I hear they are making some really high quality ice cream in Mexico. Modern equipment and better raw materials. None of those cheap eggs that had no density and couldn't sustain its flavor very lomg.
 
Fair enough. I will say that Spumoni has been a regular guest at the rmars family birthdays diners for numerous years. I do appreciate your set up though.:D

I love it! But I dont eat ice cream too often.
There is probably something to be said for chocolate carrying the weight of old classics vanilla and strawberry in a carton of neopolitan, as well!
 
Well yea, chocolate is super duper good stuff. It's the standard you must compare everything else to. It comes from a far away location. It's got soul. It's fancy and exotic and rich. You gotta like it and appreciate it. You have to. Because I said so. Since I'm on the internet, I'm an expert.

But that plain, straightforward vanilla? The simple, common, boring crap in the generic freezer section of the grocery store? Not only do I not like it, but it sucks, and if you like that Ada- uh, vanilla crap, then you're a bas- uh, I mean, food-clueless idiot that's beneath me.

Oh man, your killin' me! Don't get me started on Neapolitan!...........

Honey! Where's my blood pressure medicine? This guy on the interwebs just brought up Neapolitan.......

Seriously though, are Neapolitan and Spumoni the power trio's of ice cream or what? I think Neapolitan would be Cream and Spumoni is maybe The Police.....
 
I am curious what flavor of ice cream Adam Clayton likes. Probably vanilla.

I don't know man, I can see where your coming from but the dude has some serious Euro style, he dresses kinda upscale German fashion. I've seen him wearing some cool designer spec's in interviews. Sorry, I've worn glasses for 30+ years so I notice these things.

I would guess he digs a coffee or cappuccino flavor but I could also see him diggin' on some quality dark chocolate or something fairly eccentric. I think those guys own some high scale restaurants around Dublin.

OMG, I can't believe I just analyzed Adam Clayton's taste in ice cream based on his fashion sense......:help:
 
Talk me in to purchasing chocolate ice cream. I need pros and cons people !

I know that Jaco ate chocolate ice cream before every concert. Jamerson also ate chocolate ice cream before every session. Sadly, he never got liner note credit for it.

My buddy ate chocolate ice cream one time and said it sucked. It lacked highs and just tasted like mud.

I think I am going to buy some and then install Nordys or Fralins.
 
Can anyone tell me how to get the taste of chocolate ice cream without having to buy the expensive kind? I usually only eat chocolate ice cream at home alone in my basement, but I absolutely NEED that taste of the more expensive brand so that I might be able to put up a youtube video of me eating it someday...if Im lucky!
