c) Peppermint is awesome therefore peppermint ice cream is awesome
d) It's like a little huggle in each bite
(e) it also sometimes has awesome chocolatey bits in it)

Spearmint can kick peppermint's @$$!!

[HackerX]

Spearmint couldn't lift its foot high enough to kick peppermint's ass it's so weak

[Santana28]

anyone here have an ice cream machine? making homemade ice cream is AWESOME... i made a chocolate mint with kit kats in it the other day, and it was awesome. homemade cookie dough is really good as well. its so much better than storebought if you do it right... and so easy... i love my ice cream machine.

[PortInStorm]

I personally die for those peppermint patties (anyone remember those commercials way back when, with the ones who ate the patties and then pretended to ski on the coffee table it was so refreshing?), and peppermint-flavoured chocolate isn't bad either.

Due to an unfortuante incident as a child, I cannot abide by chocolate mint anything. Chocolate is amazing. Mint is amazing. Their powers must never be combined, as it results in evil.

If I could find just peppermint ice cream, I might like it. I love spearmint anything (sorry Hackerx, deal with it), but would agree it's probably too mild for ice cream.

I do have an ice cream machine and it is great, I must agree! Margarita sorbet was my favorite creation so far.

[MintNut]

[PortInStorm]

Oh, but it's soooo good- as long as you get good stuff, otherwise it's rather.... crunchy? Crystal- y?

Wait, what's the story there???

[OneBadMother]

Peppermint ice cream is pretty good, but not my favorite. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cherry Garcia, and Green Tea ice cream are the best.

Spearmint should stick to mouthwash and toothpaste. :P

As a child (I believe I was 3yrs old), I had a friend who *really* liked chocolate mint. So, for his birthday, his mom made chocolate mint everything. Chocolate mint chip cake, frosting, ice cream, candy...everything. I had chocolate mint chip later too....only not in that fun way. Ever since, I have not really been able to eat it. I try something like an Andes mint every few years and it's still not that great. It's been 25 years since that incident, and I'm still not over the damage.

or gum...
Spearmint tastes nasty unless it's involved with dental hygiene.

I like cookiedough, after 8, and chocolate rice crispies icecream.
melon and banana are okay depending on the maker.

I went to this icecream outlet in Japan. There were all the flavours you could ever think of (eg. curry chicken).

[HackerX]

So, After buying said ice cream previously, I had to do one better. So I toddled off to the shops and bought myself a tub of premium ice cream, plus some wafer cones. Now I can have peppermint ice cream all the time. And it's all mine :D

My freezer is an avalanche of stuff... things fall out every time we open it. I don't think I should buy ice cream.
I usually go to the variety store and get scoops of them. It's surprisingly cheap. i just hope it's relatively clean =/

Wow, that sucks. What an incredible waste of delectibility! What kind of world do we live in that one must choose between edible paradise and the companionship of a faithful sidekick? *sigh*

Holy crap... I had the exact same experience as a child, though it was one of my sisters who made me OD on chocolate mint... I cannot even smell it without getting a little queasy!

BTW, try peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter cups by B&J. It is, by far, the most outstanding ice cream in the entire world.

I'm more of a sorbet kind of person. However, PB ice cream is delicious. Chocolate with PB though, not vanilla.

I shall join you, Hacker, but only because of the awesome sway of (e). How can I possibly resist such temptation?

Love orange, strawberry and lime sorbet... not cream heavy and always refreshing!

That's all well and good, but this is a thread about peppermint and how it's better than all those.

I'm loading the water balloon launcher with a scoop of french vanilla and a scoop of mint chocolate chip.

makes all ice cream, even the loveliest of the crunchy pink minty kind seem like dull oily goop.

Gelato is food for INTJs. Crisp, clean, smooth...

[TheLastMohican]

How did I miss this thread? Peppermint is my favorite flavor of ice cream, preferably with chocolate chips mixed in.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I don't mind ye olde gelato... but nothing bets a real, creamy peppermint ice cream.... It is the food of gods and INTP's...


:D

Mint Choc Chip is my definition of heaven :)

[rwyatt365]

Sticking with ice cream, my needs are simple; Vanilla Fudge, then Pralines and Cream.

[curiousjane]

if you've ever been to a Friendly's restaurant you would know about their peppermint pattie sunday :) mmmmmm..... dark chocolate ice cream, mint syrup, chocolate syrup, bits of peppermint patties.... its to die for

Oh my goodness! I've died and gone to heaven!

Hardly anybody knows what I'm talking about when I mention how much I love peppermint ice cream ... or this Friendly's sundae!

(I moved as a teenager to an area with NO FRIENDLY'S :cry:)

OK, this is getting officially creepy how many things we have in common, kid. :suspicious:

Mint chocolate chip is my ultimate fave.
But peppermint follows on its heels.

[Cuivienen]

Looks delicious, I`ll have to try that when I`m next in the US (I`ve never seen it before in Germany)

HahahAHAHHAhahaha!

I have got to stop reading new posts in threads from the bottom up. I read yours and thought it was kinda weird for you to refer to people who disagreed with your ice cream preference in such a militaristic way (no friendlies). Then I read the rest and realized you meant the place, not the people. For the record, I always like the clown sundae at Friendly's as a child.

Also, peppermint ice cream might be awesome, I've never tried it, but those you defile it with chocolate....*shudder* No, I'll just never like at, as I have previously stated.

Yeah, you know me ... I'm a big meanie who likes to force her personal taste in ice cream on the unsuspecting minds of innocents.

I *loved* the clown sundae! Okay, all this talk of ice cream shops is making me crave some Friendly's. Right. Now.

Unfortunately, it would be a 15-18 hour drive for me to get to the nearest one. :(

You made me lol.

I have a vision of some crazy woman standing next to a child in Friendly's with a spoon of ice cream, shouting and forcing it upon him.


So, for you Peppermint Ice Cream lovers. If I were to try this stuff, what brand is best? Or should I just make it myself?

[rwyatt365]

Homemade ice cream - thoughts of a kinder, gentler time.

[curiousjane]

Edy's has some good Peppermint ice cream.

[ElstonGunn]

I always associate mint flavors with dental hygiene products. To me, mint chocolate chip ice cream always seemed like the same basic thing as freezing a tube of Colgate and putting a Hershey's Kiss on it.

I always liked Ben and Jerry's "Chunky Monkey" flavor, though. When I was a kid, I even named one of my stuffed animals after that stuff.

[Ytterbium]

Yuck I don't like mint.

Salty liqourice ice cream FTW!

[sriv]

Chocolate chip cookie dough...cookies and cream...chipwich...ice cream sandwich...so mushy.

[colmdubh]

It reminds me too much of toothpaste...maybe that's the deception...it must be good for my teeth it takes like toothpaste with choccolate chips, maybe if the mint flavor wasn't as strong some sort of vanilla-mint swirl?

[cypher72]

Mint ice cream is amazing. Actually mint anything is amazing. I've never had Friendly's ice cream. The only good ice cream places in my area are Strickland's and Handel's. They both make amazing ice cream, but the are regional businesses only.

hey--stop that! *smack you mushy* Peppermint!!

At the christmas holidays, the local ice creameries have a sweet peppermint pink smooth ice cream with cracklie chewy bits of Candy Canes in it.

It's the texture as much as anything else. Good peppermint ice cream is like a really good chocolate chip cookie: crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside.

solaris, If you make some, post a picture here so we can enjoy it. Or auction it for charity.

[HackerX]

It's surprisingly difficult to get plain mint ice cream without chocolate of some kind with it here. I don't mind either way

[Cuivienen]

You guys are really making me hungry for ice cream... and it`s 11.30pm and all the stores are closed, damnit :irked:

[Wapiti]

bump.

Mint chocolate chip sounds so good right now.

[Nihilum]

Spearmint can kick peppermint's @$$!!

Agreed! Chocolate does not belong with mint! Mint is the All-Powerful flavor.
