Mocha is my favourite ice cream flavour. Vanilla of the options given though.

Vanilla, hands-down, (preferably real Cornish clotted-cream vanilla ice-cream.) Also if it's made from real Jersey island cow's milk.

If you're going to treat yourself to some ice-cream occasionally, then make sure the cream is a good quality super-soft cream and worth the treat.

No competition, as I can't stand fake chocolate flavoured ice-cream, (it doesn't even taste like real authentic and organic chocolate.) Chocolate-flavoured ice-cream usually has a very artificial flavour taste to it. Vanilla flavoured ice-creams usually taste more authentic. Also chocolate ice-cream tastes sickly.

Vanilla is lovely and creamy and delicate... it's nice served by itself or with a drizzle of strawberry or raspberry or cherry sauce. I also love the scent of vanilla as well as the flavour of vanilla-pods.

I find Häagen-Dazs and also Ben & Jerry's ice-cream are both so overrated and overpiced... and also far too sickly when they start adding too many OTT extras into their ice-creams, like cookies, etc, which spoils it... plus I don't like the ugly and unelegant oversized tubs that they're sold in. The ice-cream itself isn't even of a super-soft texture. People often assume that a higher price = better quality in life. Not necessarily. I find that's definitely not the case with Ben & Jerry's and Häagen-Dazs. (Rip-off ice-cream.)

Traditional British '99's' are still extremely popular in the UK.... and they only cost 99p.

'99's' are freshly-whipped ice-creams that are served from special ice-cream churning machines on a lot on UK beaches and inside mobile ice-cream vans here.

The only form of chocolate in the extremely super-soft creamy ice-cream is in the form of a Cadbury's milk-chocolate flake bar... as shown below.

I wouldn't turn down a 99... that was my favourite ice-cream as a child (along with Wall's Vienetta or a Cornetto.)

The texture of the cream is beautifully soft, the flavour is kept very delicate and simple, and it's not too sickly.

I like thin layers of authentic dark chocolate pieces that are carefully laced and weaved inbetween layers of mint or vanilla flavoured ice-cream ... such as in the extremely popular Anglo-Dutch ice-cream brand Wall's 'Vienetta' (below.) Dark chocolate always complements mint. I like this as the actual ice-cream itself isn't chocolate flavoured.... the ice-cream has a cool and delicate mint and vanilla flavour.... only the authentic chocolate chip pieces that are gently laced between the mint and vanilla ice-cream are real dark chocolate pieces.... so it's not over-sickly.

The Anglo-Dutch company Wall's have kept the same popular recipe for decades in their popular 'Cornetto' ice-creams (which cost less than £1.50 for one Cornetto ice-cream from cornershops, or £3 for a pack of 6 of them from supermarkets... and Wall's 'Vienetta' ice-creams (which can be purchased for as little as £1 in supermarkets and will serve a family.)

Wall's Cornetto (strawberry or vanilla flavour with raspberry sauce) are my favourite ice-creams, or Wall's mint chocolate Vienetta.... these are the nicest ice-creams I've tried. I like the very soft texture of their ice-cream.

Wall's only uses a small solid piece of surprise real milk chocolate at the bottom of their highly popular 'Cornetto' ice-creams. (The chocolate is kept out of the actual ice-cream flavour, which is very soft and creamy textured and laced with strawberry or raspberry or mint or just a small touch of chocolate pices or authentic chocolate chips.)

Home-made vegan Vienetta.

These 99 ice-creams sold in Selfridges in London take four hours to make and have edible diamonds and edible gold in the ice-cream.

What do diamonds taste like?! Geez, look at the price... what an extravagant waste of money. (US$130 = GBP£99, or 111 Euros.)

I went to a good Italian ice-cream parlour in the West End of Central London once with my English boyfriend. The ice-creams served there were similar to these traditional English dessert knickerbockerglory ice-creams (below) which cost less than £5.

An ice-cream parlour in Westminster, Central London, served ice-cream made from human breast milk.

The owner of the bar was Matt O'Connor who campaigned to be one of the London Mayors.

He advocates breast milk as being more natural and healthier for humans to consume than using milk from cows.

All the human breast milk donated to his ice-cream parlour was screened beforehand... but Westminster City Council closed down the premises amid health & safety concerns of selling products containing human bodily fluids... despite all the screening which was done before the milk could be donated.

I remember many years ago now when a foreign ice-cream company launched garlic flavour ice-cream. Seriously - no joke.

I don't think it was ever popular.

I never tried it (the thought of garlic flavoured ice-cream makes me shiver,) and so I gave that a miss.

No, despite all the creative ice-cream flavour crazes that are launched each year... my favourite ice-creams are still traditional Wall's Cornetto, traditional 99's, or traditional Wall's Vienetta.... and I much prefer these simple ice-creams and traditional flavours and also the soft texture to the far more expensive brands and new flavours of ice-cream by Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry's.
