Hey, yesterday my friend's mom treated us to ice cream. So we went to a little authentic diner that I've never been to. There were alot of flavors. And three sections: ice cream, frozen yogurt, and gelato. I've tried gelato before and I loved it, so I looked for a flavor in the "gelato" section. The flavors were were like: lemon, chocolate, pistachio, cappacino, and this random colourful thing. So I thought the "random colourful thing" would be tasty. So I picked that. And the store person gave me 2.5 scoops of it in a large waffle cone. When I started eating it, I immidiately disliked the flavor and everything. Because inside, were little bits of fruitcake things. You know, in fruitcakes there's those little colourful cubes. And my friend was eating happily with her mom. And it wasn't even gelato! I had to finish the ice cream, even though it tasted gross. I couldn't throw it, because it would of been rude. *sigh*

Has anyone else regretted an ice cream flavor they picked?

I tried this grape flavoured crap. Except instead of eating it... I complained and returned it! lmao!! It worked, too! (They threw it out - NOT put it back in the tub. =P)

I once tried a pina colada flavor of ice cream at a local shop once that I wasn't all too thrilled with, but it was still okay.  I've never had an ice cream flavor that I just couldn't finish. 

Although, I once had a concrete (blizzard type thing)at a local frozen custard stand, and it was supposed to be "banana pudding", and it would have been okay if the chunks of banana in it wouldn't have been from a completely green banana - so the custard was good, but the mixed in stuff was gross.

You can always ask for a sample before you buy a flavor, you know.

 

Also, 2.5 scoops of gelato and a waffle bowl?!  I hope you're trying to gain weight and not lose it, because that sounds awfully caloric.

I always ask for samples before getting a new flavor of anything.

I always get a sample first unless it's something I've had before and I know I like it.  Even the same flavor will taste different at different locations.

So, no, I have never gotten a flavor I didn't like.  If anything, I get something I like too much and then regret the calories.  :)  Not that I have had ice cream in ages, anyway....

that sounds like you had spumoni. I stick with my usual flavors and I don't that much of anything anymore, blech!

Next time, try zabaglioni (sp?) gelato.

Gelato is ice cream, by the way. Maybe what you were hoping for was sorbetto, a dairy-less frozen dessert (usually made of fruit juice)?

Omg yes that was the name of the ice cream mrsdagle ! I was trying to remember what it was called. Thank you.

And next time, I'll ask for a sample :)
