makes me wonder if Earl Grey ice cream makes you bald... 
what your ice cream preference tells about your character

I like chocolate, but I'm shy and reserved, not passionate.
@ thestrangequark:
That's an interesting observation. What do you think is behind it?
Personally, I tend to believe that certain food traditions in the families might be the reason. In my experience people may adapt to foreign societies quickly on the outside, but they always have a strong tendency to keep traditional recipes/food preferences.
An ex of mine is part Native, part African American and part European (Italian & British). He's a cook by profession and does the most interesting (and yummy!) fusion of Italian, Ethiopian and Cayun cuisines.
Yeah, I don't think there is anything revolutionary behind it, just traditions influencing tastes.
We also did a survey of patrons after I got into an argument with my coworker over what one calls chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice creams served together. Neapolitan, of course, right? Except my coworker thought it was "Napoleon" ice cream. I tried to convince him he was wrong and we ended up surveying every customer as to what they thought. Sadly, 50% of New Yorkers think neapolitan ice cream is called "Napoleon" ice cream.
I absolutely love Neopolitan, not Napoleon! It is one of the rare ice creams where brand name matters though. Some companies do it so much better than others!
I agree. The other flavor where brand really makes a difference is mint chocolate chip. With some brands it can taste really crappy, and leave a weird aftertaste, so I only go with the best brands when purchasing this magnificent flavor.
Damn it. Now I'm craving ice cream.
Subtitles are your friends/.../The Dutch are so good at English because they get the original versions of all TV series. In Germany absolutely everything gets translated. It is a miracle that DS9 wasn't published as 'Tiefraum 9'
Dubbing should be illegal
-it's worse than what George Lucas did to the first three SWs 
-way worse actually; it's having actors perverting the work of other actors and directors and writers involved.But at least, you can reach for the remote and use the Tonwahl-button to change to Originalton -unless you, like I, receive the German signal by satellite
"Tiefraum 9"
Amen. Mint chocolate chip and plain ol' vanilla are the best. I've never had stracciatella, but it sounds like something I would really like. I like the texture of gelato better than American ice cream anyway.
Never been in the US, but I tried eating ice creams in Scotland and they tasted like iced butter to me. I suspect the American version would be not very far away from that.
