    My boyfriend and I are having a fight to the death, He claims the ice cream from the ice cream man is much nicer than the ice cream from the ice cream machine in shops and shopping centres. I disagree wholeheartedly.

    Who's right?

    I reckon a gelato in some exotic flavour from an Italian ice-cream shop has no competition really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭DeltaWhite


    From Ginos :D mmmmmmm best ice cream around :)

    There's an ice cream van that drives around my estate every day playing The Godfather theme.

    Those meddling mobsters, have a finger in every pie.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,439 ✭✭✭SunnyDub1


    Isn't the same machine :confused:

    That foul Mr Whippy shit is an abomination, and a creation of Margaret Thatcher.

    I just had a trio of homemade icecreams from the Italian ice cream parlour down the street. He has a menu that changes every day. I had banana + mango + kiwi, raspberry yoghurt and raspberry cheesecake. Big chunks of fresh fruit in each. Try getting that from a van!

    It always tastes nicer when the slaves make it by hand.

    I can't say I like either... the best ice cream can be found in little Italian cafes, sold in a nice, fresh cone, not squirted from a machine into something of the consistency and taste of cardboard.

    Yes, I'm a snob. And yes, good ice cream is something I desperately miss here in Ireland.

    Pistacchio, especially. *sigh*

    You made me sad now.

    Pack your bags and get out of his life.

    This relationship has no chance.

    They have some yummy ice cream shops in Ireland. Murphys is beautiful - and Irish, Aussie Ice and Ginos also do gorgeous flavours.

    I don't really eat icecream..

    There used to be and Italian ice cream parlour down here, out in Blarney.
    I would actually drive for 30 minutes just to get some ice cream there, but they closed shop about 2 years ago. :(

    I've tried Irish homemade ice cream, but I have to admit, I'm not a fan. I dislike honeycomb even when it's not in ice cream, I'm not a big fan of peppermint, I just generally miss the flavours I grew up with like Malaga, Pistacchio, Stacciatella, etc.

    Icey and creamy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    There is an ice-cream shop on my street that make their own ice-cream. On an average day when the temps are 20 or more you would have to queue at least 25 mins to get your scoops. No ice-cream from those machines come any where close to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I like my ice cream on a shtick, I do be chewing on it long after the ice cream is gone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,641 ✭✭✭bgrizzley


    make your own, better than any you can buy.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 240 ✭✭The Barefoot Pizza Thief


    Anyone who wants ice cream but is broke, here is a quick way to get some if all you have in the house is a carton of milk.

    Put the carton in the frezzer until the milk is frozen rock hard (usually takes four hours or so).

    Then, remove it from the frezzer and whenever you hear the ice cream man coming, go out and slap him over of the back the head with it and rob his.

    Frezzer? I take it your attack would be in retaliation for him stealing your spelling books then?

    I like mine gently rubbed on the thighs of a naked Cuban prostitute, or is that my cigars?

    No idea whether or not its true, but I've heard that there are all sorts of nasties lurking in the stuff you get in ice cream vans. Like traces of excrement:eek::eek::eek:

    Haven't tried Gelato yet but I do love Ben and Jerry's, sadly I can eat my way through a whole tub with a teaspoon, in one sitting:o

    Use to buy my xtc from the local ice cream man... few stashed down the bottom of a screwball scrabble. Nothing better than going bonkers on a sunny summers day.

    You never heard of a Frezzer?
    Frezzer

    The young and naive may believe that a frezzer is simply a freezer with a typo. The daft and dumb may believe that a frezzer is bad hair-do from the fifties. If you fall into one of these categories it is okay, for soon you will be saved. Below is everything and everything you would ever want to know about the frezzer.

    In the age of post-structuralism, Western society was in a constant quandary. Often questions were being tossed around along the lines of: "Do I really want a fish sandwich, because I do not know the true meaning of it?" and "What is oatmeal cookie chip ice cream? Which is more important, the oatmeal or the chip? You need to have both for the ice-cream, so how can you know?", etc.

    One sexy night, a man named Leon Phelps came up with a solution, a way to have it all and not a single worry. He invented ... the frezzer.Imagine a magic eight ball. Now imagine a cooler. Now imagine a poodle. Forget the poodle, but combine the magic eight ball and cooler. Voila, uno frezzero.

    A frezzor deals with all your food-related woes. Do you ever wonder if you cannot handle the salinity of bovinity divinity? Just ask your neighborhood frezzer for a helping hand.

    Frezzers became extremely popular in the post-structuarlist era, yet they did not do too well on the market due to a recall two weeks after production due to a few frezzers with "attitude problems".

    You may find one at a local novelty store, or java babies.

    Source.
