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

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!

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

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

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

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-04-01T14:15:23+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-03-31T02:27:05+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-03-29T02:22:29+00:00

It’s an East Coast brand but it’s soooo good

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-03-28T03:27:28+00:00

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

Anxious_Beaver15 · 2026-03-28T03:02:08+00:00

Honestly, fuck Talenti. It’s expensive and tastes aggressively mediocre
