It's summer! What's your favourite ice cream?

Yeah, even over here in rainy old Ireland we're gettin' the sun (so far) and it set me to thinking about this. Here's mine: the Brunch. Lovely crispy bits on the outside, white and pink ice cream inside. Yum!

They call that a Strawberry Shortcake here.

Those SS bars are my favorite of all time but I think they (like a lot of gas station food) are filled w/ preservatives so I try to get soft serve.

I love going to those relatively new Frozen Yogurt places. The ones where you pay by weight. I love being in charge of my own toppings. I don't know if they're everywhere yet, but here's one example:

Spoiler for Big picture:

The far left is where you get the frozen yogurt. It comes out like soft serve. They all have three nozzles, so you can either get one individual flavor (nozzles on either side) or a twist of the two (the one in the middle). Then, in the case here, they have the toppings bar to the left of the register. You get however much you want, since it's all done by weight. I've seen the usual options of nuts and berries, to candies like Reese's and snickers, as well as brownie, cookie dough, and cheesecake bites. The one we went to in Ohio had all kinds of breakfast cereal and weird sort of jelly balls.

I think this might be a flavour local to new brunswick dairy companies but caramel cowmotion is like a werther's caramel in ice cream form.

also moon mist is great and I'm pretty sure that's also a local thing around here. I pity the rest of canada who doesn't have great ice cream flavours.

Have you been to the Cows Ice Cream store in PEI? They have a second store in Niagara Falls and I noticed similar flavours there. It was the best ice cream I've ever had. Plus the souvenirs are so cool.

Spoiler for Americone Dream:

Either that but if it's not available I will pick up some of these bars

I usually get the coconut one but I will sometimes get the banana flavor if they are out of coconut.

Ben & Jerry's would probably win my award as well. It would be:

But I only had it a few times before it got discontinued in the UK, the bastards. My favourite one that's still in production is probably:
