Bought some Oreos Icecreams today and they were the bomb!

Vanilla ice cream with a rather large spoonful or two of crunchy peanut butter.

Carte D’or Eton Mess is superb.
I also like a nice Cornish clotted cream vanilla like Kelly’s.

Home made Toblerone ice cream. Haven't had it in years but it's amazing.

I can make my own gelato and I have, any flavour, any combination, any kind that I want.
There is something to be said about freshly made ice-cream, not made then frozen to set it. That step often add crystallisation into the ice-cream which causes it to be more corse in texture and thus less creamy.
Sure there are lots of flavours and ingredients but to judge what is the BEST ice-cream, you have to strip it all back, hide behind nothing, don't hide behind chocolate chucks pieces or fancy toppings. Simply vanilla on a cone.
To that, it is Cremia in Japan, ice-cream made from the milk from Hokkaido. It is like nothing else you have ever tasted simply because the milk it is made from has different fat content than your average dairy cow. The ice-cream is smooth yet weirdly dense but not heavy. It coats your tongue with the fat from it just for a brief moment after you swallow it, lingers just long enough until you have the next bite. It gets really close in terms of balance of soft but soft not because it is whipped full of air like most soft serve you get, it is soft because of its ingredients.
It is simply delectable. Words cannot do it justice.

Neapolitan wrapped in cardboard when I was poor! Come on man; three flavours in one.
On the special occasion? Here's a scoop of vanilla with cream soda poured over it.
Less poor and a tub of mint choc chip became the king!
Then at a swanky restaurant on Southhampton Row in the mid eighties i was offered a cup of pistachio ice cream!
Today? Eh, praline and cream.

Got to be the Organic Green & Blacks Chocolate - when that's on offer at £3 a tub I've been known to get us 3 or 4 tubs - too good!

I love fancy gelato, especially pistachio, but I can’t be the only one that has a thing for terrible cheap vanilla ice cream?

Theres an awesome gelato shop in Sorrento down one of the narrow lanes in town and they do a creamy lemon made from the local lemons which are everywhere hanging off trees along the streets. It was so good I visited that shop almost daily when I was there
