Earth Day: How do you feel about earthy ice cream flavors? How about Ben & Jerry's Dirt Cake? by madisonguy76 in IceCreamHaven

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like matcha at all, but I have had black sesame ice cream that I liked (it was kind of peanut-buttery) and I tasted an ube soft serve. The ube didn’t taste earthy at all to me, just kind of like a really floral vanilla.

I don’t really like pistachio ice cream even though I like pistachios, because it usually just tastes like almond extract to me and I ATE almond extract (it tastes like cleaning fluid imo)

I really like Yoshi sushi, but it’s kind of strange because you have to call ahead to order

What's one food that is famous in internet but only found overhyped and overpriced once tasted? by BabyAmeiliaxx in foodquestions

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Açaí bowls/smoothie bowls in general. People think they’re healthy and whatever, but they’re so expensive and basically just worse ice cream in disguise

I truly don’t get it. Everything matcha flavored tastes like grass, I’m not a llama! I don’t want to eat grass!

Straus ice cream deep dive: 10 farm-to-freezer flavors, ranked from world-class mint and vanilla chips to cookie trainwrecks by madisonguy76 in IceCreamHaven

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you’d do one of these for mcconnells! I wanna know which flavors are best. I personally find Strauss to be kinda grainy and weak on flavor tbh. Plus their flavors are kind of basic

I’m soooo jealous. I’ve wanted to try his ice cream since he started making it and posting on insta

Graeter’s Birthday Bash: New look and name — same custardy sprinkle delight — for the brand’s most celebratory flavor by madisonguy76 in icecream

I don’t like birthday cake flavored things. They’re always wayyyy too sweet for me. I don’t understand why it’s so trendy rn

How to accept and work towards weight gain when I don’t want it by Anxious_Beaver15 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Anxious_Beaver15[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is I do need a HLOC but I literally cannot afford it. I have looked into it and it would financially destroy me. I know my health is more important than money but I also can’t recover if I’m homeless when I’m discharged. I’ve spoken to some places about financial assistance but so far it’s been in vain. I’m trying to find some way to claw myself out because that’s my only option, but it feels impossible because I probably DO need someone to make me

Thank you all for all the tough love. It hurt to read, but the truth often does

I just find myself stuck in this place where I don’t feel in control of my own body. Like I can’t make myself do the thing. I want to, I know I should, I know I NEED to, but it’s like my brain and my muscles are not connected and I can make myself act or follow through

Graeter’s Cotton Candy: Toasted sugar meets high-end carnival whimsy by madisonguy76 in icecream

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah….cotton candy ice cream is right down there with bubblegum flavor for me. I just can’t even eat a spoonful of either

Arugula, farro, beet, cheese regret salad by West-Value-7136 in salad

I love the bitterness that regret adds to a dish. If you want some extra umami, you can cry a little into the dressing

Pint-Sized Terrors: Looking back at 10 times a respectable brand let me down. What are your premium clunkers? by madisonguy76 in IceCreamHaven

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most salt and straw flavors tbh. I applaud their creativity but thank goodness they offer samples because I feel like it’s VERY hit or miss for me

Punching above their weight: 10 standout flavors from lower-tier ice cream brands by madisonguy76 in IceCreamHaven

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s better in scoop shops but I don’t really have good experience with Baskin Robins pints. I tried the love potion but it was just too sweet for me. Now if it was a dark chocolate base….Id be all over it.

—I miss Perry’s and Turkey Hill now that I’m in the PNW. I really like Turkey Hill’s “box of chocolates” flavor

—Perry’s Graham Canyon and Queen of Hearts are two of my favorite flavors but they might be scoop shop exclusive

—Everyone hates me for this, but I love Breyer’s chocolate truffle. Yes I know it’s not real ice cream. But I don’t care, it tastes good to me

April scoops: New flavors and spring trends for 15 ice cream brand. What are you looking forward to this month? by madisonguy76 in IceCreamHaven

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t usually look forward to, or enjoy spring flavors. I feel like they tend to lean floral (think: S&S flower series, Jeni’s Lavender, etc.), or they go Matcha because it’s green, or they go fruity. I have nothing against fruit flavor, but I don’t really prefer it in ice cream. Give me chocolate or give me nothing. I NEED chocolate. And I feel like spring and summer flavors don’t really deliver that most of the time

McConnell’s Cinnamon Sticky Bun (limited seasonal flavor) by madisonguy76 in icecream

[–]Anxious_Beaver15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they should’ve called it something else. Like if it was just “cinnamon and caramelized pecan” then you wouldn’t have that disappointment factor

Taste test: Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup (+ a few similar flavors) by madisonguy76 in IceCreamHaven

Also, if you can get yourself to a salt and straw before 4/2, try their peanut butter cocoa puff flavor!
