Im curious which ice cream flavor is the most popular. Mine is plain old vanilla. Any one else have?
chocolate mint
soft
Interesting question:
Pistachio, but I can’t get it here (not Chalov Yisroel).
I was once in NYC (Queens) where they have a store called Max & Mina’s, which has many different flavors (some CY and some not), and picked up some strawberry cheesecake Ice Cream. It was very good, but not really an Ice Cream “flavor”.
Is this thread serious? Ice cream really comes in different flavors? When did that happen?
Heh. No discussion of ice cream flavors is complete without talking about Max & Mina’s. 🙂

gavra: Max & Mina’s is cholov yisroel? (You indicated you are makpid on CY.)

“Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, two brothers-in-law shared a dream to create an innovative ice cream store that would be a neighborhood gathering place for families. Burton “Burt” Baskin and Irvine “Irv” Robbins had a mutual love of old-fashioned ice cream and the desire to provide customers a variety of flavors made with ingredients of the highest quality in a fun, inviting atmosphere.”

Wow, I guess I haven’t eaten ice cream in a long time.
Pralines and Cream, Cookies and Cream, or Cookie Dough!!!!!
Max well: It was a while back, and only some flavors were CY (they were listed on a board on the back wall, to the far left of the flavor list).
This may have changed, and they may no longer have any CY flavors.

I was last there about six months ago. They had some CY flavors then — but they were usually the “traditional” flavors and not the wacky ones that M&M is known for.

Are all of M&M’s products kosher?

Yes (assuming you mean Max & Mina’s and not M&M Mars. 🙂 )

no
but ill change from chocolate mint to chocolate
I can’t believe no one mentioned coffee. That’s my favorite. Vanilla would probably come next.
(I love coffee ice cream topped with hot fudge and cookie crumbs!)
Mint Chocolate Chip – a favorite of mine since childhood.
Ittisa asked me to mention her favorite flavor is Vanilla soft. Does not like chocolate.
Who is Ittisa?
If this thread stalls we can open one on your least favorite flavor.
Mine is black licorice.
Max well:
Who is Ittisa?
Go learn some gemorah and get back to me 🙂
Another flavor I really don’t like is Herring Ice Cream.
Sauerkraut and Fudge?
My best flavor of ice cream is coffee but I cant find any cholov yisroel coffee ice cream here. too bad. thats what happens when you live out of town.
cookie dough is my favorite by far (and i just had it yesterday for the first time in three yrs, cuz i can’t get it cholov yisroel (i took on cy in 10th grade)so someone who knows my father was catering some kind of event and cookie dough was ordered (parve) and he ended up having extra, so he gave some to my father special for me!!!!!!! i am so thankful! (of course, i just sit there pickin out the dough!) blinky, don’t chicken out! it’s soooooooooo good, just like reg cookie dough. just in ice cream.
mint choco chip comes next. then coffee mocha chip.
Meatball-Fudge Ripple.
Meatball fudge ripple is pretty bad but it cant compete with (combination of above)
herring-sauerkraut-vanilla swirl
Putting aside Max & Mina-style flavors, I’d have to say my favorite is Rocky Road, followed by a dark, deep chocolate.

My husband says any flavor other than chocolate or vanilla is not ice cream, it’s a perversion.
I say as long as it’s dairy and unrelated to anything salty/savory, it’s delicious!
I can’t believe no one mentioned pickles and ice cream or pickle flavored ice cream.
tomim tihye – I’m sorry to read about your shalom bayis issue.
Perhaps your husband and yourself should avoid ice cream altogether.
No question about it – PISTACHIO, followed by Jamoca Almond Fudge, Heavenly Hash, and anything with chocoltae chunks, cherries, and banana.
Least favorite – cholent-flavored and M&M had this, don’t know if they still do.
BTW, M & M candies ARE kosher, just not CH”Y.
Does Max and Mina’s have earwax flavor?
Vanilla.
Mango – absolutely without question.
Blinky – I haven’t had it in a while since normally it’s chocolate chip cookie dough but if you get big chunks of cookie dough I think it does taste good.
fave flavor- cookie dough (or if necessary cookies and cream. But its not half as good) and blinky you’re losing out on not trying it…
worst flavor- a fruity ice cream. Fruit is fruit and ice cream is ice cream. But a good fruit sorbet is always good.
Does Max and Mina’s have earwax flavor?
Yes, right near the vomit style ice cream.
“I can’t believe no one mentioned pickles and ice cream or pickle flavored ice cream”
Only gets sold to pregnant women (kills two birds with one stone).
Mine is a vanilla soft ice cream IN A CONE with peanut topping. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!
Now, about the other flavors…go try some Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!
Kishke
blinky, once this tread opened my eyes, I knew I had to get out there and find out for myself if there really were different flavors of ice cream.
So I headed down to the city, where they have stores with ice boxes, and what do you know – they had more than 30 flavors! I thought it was a joke, but I sampled them all. Then I went to a different store and tried some more. My favorite was the kishke.
I really miss Haggen-daaz Rum Raisin and Carvel Butterscotch.
All the CY stuff tastes pretty much the same, so picking a “favorite” is kinda pointless.
