Continuing the theme of simple questions, my dear friends! But this one is for *research*. You'll see.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

And if ice cream isn't your thing - what is your favorite soda flavor? ^_^

Apple. I haven't had ice cream since Valinor, but the one made with apples from Yavanna's garden was truly something.

[fun_thementalist]

Apple? I don't believe I'd had the pleasure of tasting such a flavor in ice cream before - but I bet with a little cinnamon, it would be delightful.

How would you describe those sorts of apples from that garden - tart? Sweet?

[holdshisown]

A little cinamon and a pinch of cloves is how we had it. It was the treat I most looked forward to whenever I visited grandfathers court, no one could make it quite like Indis could.

Sweet, with just a hint of tartness to them. Quite unlike any apples grown under the sun, the light of the Two Tree's gave them... a quality all their own. Nothing else quite compares.

[fun_thementalist]

Cinnamon and clove - almost like an apple pie~~ it sounds delightful! :D

This is a land of dreams, my dear. Perhaps, perhaps, you can find an apple somewhere here that matches your memory? It would be a hint of home if you're yearning for it.

[holdshisown]

It was not so far of from that in taste, honestly.

You think so? I... I would be lying if I said I would not wish to. To have some small reminder of better days long gone by. It would be a wonderful thing indeed. Those apples hold many fond memories for me, though they seem such a small thing.

I honestly never had ice cream or soda before. My home town doesn’t have a place where ice cream and soda are often sold in ever.

[fun_thementalist]

what

really? my dear. my dear friend. I must introduce you. at least to ice cream - carbonation can be a little strange if you've never had anything with it before.

but *ice cream* is delightful, trust me.

[senorita_perfecta]

Yes. Both of them are very new things to me and I don’t normally go for them often as much as I might have gotten to.

Oh really? This should be an interesting experience to eat them for the first time.

[fun_thementalist]

well I certainly suggest trying new things here - it's a dream! you can easily take a note of what does and doesn't work once you're awake ~~

and of course, try all sorts of things you could *never* try in your waking reality, either! :3

what sorts of desserts do you normally enjoy?

[senorita_perfecta]

Well that is a very valid point. I should definitely check them out too back in the waking world to just be sure of it.

As for what kinds of desserts I do enjoy at home, there ate the tres leches cake, Postre de Natas (boiled milk), wafers with arequipe (which is like caramel milk), and arroz con leche (rice pudding).

Definitely vanilla! You can pretty much add whatever to it and it will usually taste pretty good!

As far as sodas go, I guess I like cherry cola but if I can't get that then regular cola is what I go for.

[fun_thementalist]

That is true! Fruit syrups or fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, candy pieces ... the possibilities are endless upon such a forgiving canvas.

A girl after my own heart~! Cola is my favorite flavor, truly. Though, I've been known to make it both sweet and fruity - like with cherry - *or* spicy. :3

[ribbonbon]

I totally agree! Plus, instead of adding stuff to it you can add it to other stuff! A warm brownie, apple pie, baked pears...you can even pour soda over it for an ice cream float!

I've had sweet and fruit colas, but I don't think I've ever had a spicy cola. What kind of flavor makes cola spicy?

[fun_thementalist]

that is certainly something I do ^_~ cola floats are some of my favorites~

a pinch of chili powder - plus some chai syrup to add *spices* and more sweetness to compliment the heat. I wouldn't have come up with it myself, mind you, I can't claim credit! a friend of mine whipped that up for me and it was a delightful (if surprising!) combination

I don't think I've had either, actually, come to think of it.

It's kind of hard to get stuff like that unless you're in July.

[fun_thementalist]

is that truly so? it's a shame, then, a true shame!

you *must* certainly give ice cream a try, at the least, my dear friend. soda is also something I adore, obviously; but carbonation can be a little odd if you've never had anything with that in it before, I'll admit ...

[bountyfull]

[ this feels a little extra... ]

I've mostly just stuck to water when I can get it, here has been... different. What kind of flavors would something like that even come in?

[fun_thementalist]

[ Gen is disappointed he's only coming off as a little extra. ]

ice cream, or soda? the answer to both, however is virtually any flavor you could think of!

generally, however, you're going to think of things more sweet or spiced - desserts, hm? so ... chocolate, vanilla, fruit flavors, cinnamon, ginger, citrus, coffee ...

maybe a good way to know what kind of ice cream or soda you'd like, is to ask first what desserts you like. ;)

[chocobosnap]

Man, okay, I know I shouldn't eat a ton of ice cream or anything right, but I totally love chocobo blast! [ Yes, it's for children, fight him. ]

I also just like regular cola too, except like, I can't drink orange anymore because of this bet this one time- ha I'm sure you don't care about that. Right. Hope this helps.

[fun_thementalist]

lactose-intolerant, my dear? I think there might be some ice cream out there which avoids that troublesome bit of bother ...

oh wait. *do* tell. what bet did you do involving orange soda? I'm sure it's nothing I hadn't done when I was younger, trust me :3

[chocobosnap]

Lactose intolerant? Nah, just health conscious.

Ha ha what bet with orange soda?

I never said that. There's no way we'd be dumb enough to do something like that.

[fun_thementalist]

well, I'll remind you, if nothing else - this is a dream. I can decide to eat my weight in ice cream and not be at any risk of diabetes, no matter how some might complain ;) you can indulge as often as you'd like, my friend.

'we', huh? it does usually take at least *two* people to be involved in a bet. at least assure me that nobody tried to cause an allergic reaction on purpose just to win, hm?

I'm not really into soda, but I do like chocolate ice cream.
What kind of research is this, anyway?

[fun_thementalist]

duly noted ;)

why, isn't it obvious?

[oursavinggrace]

Not really?
