My favourite flavour is chocolate, but the best ice-cream I've ever had was Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked.

So what's your favourite?

Chocolate ice cream, with chocolate chips and white chocolate sprinkles, covered in chocolate sauce.

I like chocolate.

Unless you've tried Mackie's vanilla. Then again, I'm not sure if you can get it outside of Scotland...

The fact that it comes from Scotland makes it interesting and fun. It is now above Vanilla in the ice cream heirarchy. Regular Vanilla is still dull, though.

The main Mackie's ice cream, the one in the blue and cream coloured tub, isn't actually vanilla flavoured, it's unflavoured: just plain ice cream. It is absolutely gorgeous though. They've apparently just released a vanilla flavoured one too, so I apologise if that's the one you were referring to. You can get the plain Mackie's just about anywhere in England now, and I saw the honeycomb one once. I come from Aberdeen originally, and the first time I saw Mackie's in a freezer cabinet down here, I panic bought the lot!

The blue tub is the one I'm talking about, yes, but I'm sure it's really vanilla-flavoured. The package might say "plain", but some crisps say that and we all know that means Ready Salted. It's good to hear Mackie's branching out though, I thought it was just a regional thing like Cream 'o' Galloway.
A profession shall be created for me. Involving ice cream. And the world will cease to be scary.

Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough is a current fave. Also their chocolate flavours. And carte D'Or Mescarpone. Shit, I feel hungry now...

I'm more into brands. Graeters, based out of Ohio, makes a superior ice cream. I've also heard that Blue Bell ice cream, in Texas, is a strong contender for America's best ice cream.

Definitely no vanilla. Unfortunately, to find that link, I found myself looking at all the flavours we can't get down here. As if living in England isn't punishment enough.
