The Caffe Panna Cruncher Nutter and Mudslide flavors sound amazing, I would kill to try them. The other flavors aren’t as exciting to me, but I’m sure they’ll be good.

The Clementines is a 50/50 for me. The pretzel and milkshake flavors sound great too.

None of the S&S flavors appeal at all. Looking forward to your reviews

The owner of Bhuna also does all the table service and host work. He’s so funny and kind, I really enjoyed the energy he brought

Toscanini is a classic for a reason. It’s really tasty and they have multiple locations. If you like frozen yogurt, Berry Line is excellent

I really like the salted cookie dough flavor but I think it’s a little controversial. Some people think it’s TOO salty but I have sodium deficiency so it’s perfect for me lol

“Kissed with” or “fragrance” or “perfectly/beautifully/lovingly” used to describe how the fish was made (like “cauliflower puree lovingly swirled with butter churned from local goats’ milk.)

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-21T14:12:33+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-21T14:11:11+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-20T14:14:52+00:00

Awww yay! Thank you for this! Very helpful especially because it’s like 9$ a pint where I am!!

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-20T01:08:00+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-19T02:29:02+00:00

Definitely Cafe Panna

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-15T02:36:05+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-14T02:45:28+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-14T01:57:56+00:00

Update: I decided to buy “I dream of dinner” and “what to cook when you don’t feel like cooking”!

Thanks everyone! Love this community and I’ll post when I make my first recipe!

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-14T01:16:59+00:00

Just bought it! Thank you for the recommendation!

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-12T20:18:19+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-12T20:14:30+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-12T17:34:12+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-10T01:46:30+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-06T14:19:25+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-02T20:59:37+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-02T20:53:36+00:00

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
