Whatever problems a liberal jerk like me might have with Ronald Reagan, I will give the man this — In 1984, he had the vision to name July as National Ice Cream Month. And then, within National Ice Cream Month, there is National Ice Cream Day. This year, that falls on July 18. When Reagan made the declaration, he asked Americans to celebrate this glorious month with “appropriate ceremonies and activities,” which I will take to mean, “burying my face in a bucket of butter pecan.”
Over at Confections Of A Dangerous Mind, blogger Mark Marino details his deep and abiding love for all flavors of ice cream, but also reflects on how he always ends up “coming back to basics, like a carton of chocolate/vanilla/strawberry.”
Which leads me to this question for y’all: What’s the one ice cream flavor that will always get your mouth to watering?

There’s a dairy in South Florida called McArthur that sells both ice cream and milk. They advertise their ice cream on their milk cartons which I suppose isn’t bad but it throws me to see a milk carton with an entire panel that says “Smooth and Chunky.”
I cannot get enough of Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food.
Blue Belle Banana Pudding.
Or any flavor Ms. Marco would be willing to share with me.
My most recent fave is moose tracks, of a variety of brands. I still like a good quality chocolate chip (not mint), or a fudge swirl. If it’s really hot out, a big plastic tub of the-cheaper-the-better orange sherbet makes me happy. If I want plain chocolate or vanilla, I like those stirred in the bowl until like soft-serve consistency with chocolate jimmies mixed in. But for plain vanilla, I only get Breyer’s, the other brands seem too slimy.
Key Lime Pie.
