TimeOut

With the warm weather this week, and ice cream being on sale at the local grocery store, I am indulging! My current favorite flavor is Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk (sweet cream cinnamon ice cream with oatmeal cookie and chocolate chunks). I have som...  

I will go with Pistachio Almond from Baskin Robbins. JerryW

...here in LA they call Baskin-Robbins, "31 Flavors." At Baskin-Robbins I tend to go for fancy flavors, like toffee crunch or peanut butter chocolate (I have a drive-thru Baskin-Robbins a few blocks from my house!), but at Haagen-Dazs I usually have straw...

We have to settle with macadamia nut. we do however have tons of small ice creem makers that make great stuff in many varities. Best regards, George

When I come to Paris you will have to share your favorites! Macadamia nut ice cream sounds divine. Cheers, Daos

If you ever visit Hawaii, check out Lappert's ice cream for their excellent Macadamia nut flavor. -MW

I get coconut or sometimes ube? (taro) because I like to complete my tropical experience! Cheers! Daos

We can always arrange (and would be pleased to) arrange a tout of the famous ice creams places in Paris. Not to mention the other great foods. Best regards, George

Paris is quite possibly the culinary capital of the world! Cheers, Daos

I'll have to try that B&J taste for sure . For me, favorite ice cream by the scoop here in LA is the one at Bennett's (the Grove), the flavor in question is white chocolate raspberry (from the places that I've been to obviously, there's always a bunch I h... 

My favorite ice cream shops in the greater LA area are (in no particular order): Handel's Ice Cream (try their Hurricanes) Paradis Gelato Bar (not technically ice cream, but a delectable frozen treat all the same) Cheers, Daos

I'll make a mental note so to remember to try them out! As a matter of fact just had a little ice cream while watching Leon The Professional so good food + good movie=going very happy to bed LOL . Cheers, Filip This message has been edited by Adamska on 2... 

It is action-packed, thrilling, poignant and humorous. Great performances by Jean Reno, a precocious young Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman. Reno is always fun to watch IMO. Have you ever seen Crimson Rivers? It's a French film starring Jean Reno and Vinc... 

I love watching Reno and his movies in most part appeal to me very much. Tais-toi is among the best comedies I've seen . As far as memory serves me I haven't seen Crimson Rivers (could be wrong), but now that you suggested it and I've looked it up on imdb... 

...let me know what you think! Cheers, Daos

haven't had a TV since last year though so the lap-top is the do-it-all bit of kit for the time being . Fortunately it's got a great screen and blu-ray capability!

Fosselman's (on west Main in Alhambra), Milk (on Beverly near El Cayote) and Mashti Malone (on La brea near Sunset). Scoops is good but in a bad area near L.A. city college. Don't forget old school Thrifty's ice cream like Malted Chocolate Crunch! -MW Thi... 

I haven't had any of those LOL , a lot of catching up to do I guess!

Total brainfreeze on that one, especially after I made my cousin Paul drive me around Alhambra looking for the storefront after seeing it featured on Huell Howser's California Gold! Everyone keeps talking to me about Milk. I will have to check it out. Thr... 

Palate slightly. Ever heard of pulut hitam aka black glutunious rice with coconut milk flavor? It's really yummy. For those with Friday happy hours in mind, there are alcohol flavored ones too. Cheers PAt

Black glutinous rice with coconut milk?! I am so excited about that flavor! I wonder if I can mail order some. I have mail ordered ice cream from Ohio to LA before. I wonder if I could mail order from Singapore!? Hmmmm. I don't think I could go for vanill...

Here it is Daos. And business is brisk. There are people willing to flout the law just to eat this stuff as it is an offence to park your car on the zig zag lines in SG. cheers PAt...  

Udders is an awesome name for an ice cream shop! You must photograph the glutinous rice ice cream for me next time you go! It sounds so intriguing! Thanks for the pictures. Hope those ice cream fans don't get parking tickets. Cheers, Daos

Just bought the Hagen Das Green Tea ice cream flavor, haven't tasted it yet but will this weekend. -MW

Maybe I have rose-tinted memories of eating ice cream in Paris, but I loved their hazelnut ice cream and also candied chestnut. Yum! Salted caramel seems to be a hot flavor around town lately. I've seen ice creams, cookies, macarons, and pies with this fl... 

for Hagen Daz and BR31

...Starbucks coffee flavored ice creams? I like coffee itself, but don't seem to enjoy coffee-flavored things like ice cream or tiramisu, generally. I find it so weird that I can like a food, but not items flavored with it. I have a friend whose long-time... 

with ben & jerries coming a close second G

I agree, Graham! Both brands make a good cookies & cream flavor. Ben & Jerry's has a new-ish flavor (introduced last year, I think) called "Milk & Cookies" which is like their Sweet Cream & Cookies on steroids. Look for it! My greatest disappointment in i... 

i dont know if i like the sound of the late night ice cream creme brulee sound superb as it has to be my favourite dessert. i dont have enough choice in my supermarket, but i'll soon be somewhere with better choices. Obesity here i come...  

...for home very often, because I would definitely be fatter than I already am if ice cream was readily available each day! Cheers, Daos

Used to love Harry Potter flavour, green fluorescent color. hi Daos. Cheers. Luc

I wonder how it tasted? I've never heard of it! I'll have to seek it out. Maybe I should ask my friend at Warner Bros. (home of the Harry Potter movies) about it. Have a wonderful week, Luc! Cheers, Daos

my favorite "different" flavor is Thifty's Rainbow Sherbert. It's a tart flavor but somehow very tasty. Cheers, Anthony (picture from costco.com)...  

Is rainbow a mix of flavors? Curious... Daos

It's a hit or miss for people I think. Ping doesn't like it. - AT

I will ask for a taste next time I'm at Rite Aid near my office. They have a Thrifty. Say hi to Ping for me!!! Cheers, Daos

... but NOT as ice-cream ... I more prefer banana, melon and Strachiatella .... but i'm not a true ice-cream eater ... only occasionally Filip

The local gelato place has an excellent version! My favorite fruity ice cream is strawberry, followed by peach. I like all the summery flavors. Cheers, Daos

. . . and I've had it only once, late '70s at a Baskin Robbins. I've popped in a thousand times since, and they never have it :-( . . .

Some of the date producers make their own ice cream and stuff like date shakes. Daos

. . . Follow Your Heart in Canoga Park has non-dairy date shakes that I'll stop in for every once in a while, but I'd break my vegetarian diet for a scoop or two of Baskin Robbins date ice cream . . .

There's a new vegan ice cream place near my work that I'm interested in trying -- more as a scary experiment than anything else. I'm perfectly happy with real ice cream. Cheers, Daos

. . . "Let's do lunch!" ;-) . . .

FYI -- the vegan ice cream place near my office is called KindKreme if you want to check it out further online. Cheers, Daos

Oatmeal Cookie Chunk is MY favorite flavor as well. The sad part is, it's actually one of the harder flavors to find. It's not quite as popular as some of the other B&J's flavors, and it doesn't get much love (except from me). I'd say a close favorite is ...  

The Oatmeal Cookie Chunk is definitely not easy to find everywhere. I love it! There's just the right amount of cinnamon in the ice cream base. Keep an eye out for that new Late Night Snack flavor. I'm dying to try it, and it's been sold out at my store f... 

I forgot all about the Late Night Snack flavor! I've never tried it but now that you mention it, I'm hungry all of a sudden...
