We are very much Experiencing Summer here in the UK, which means I’m almost always thinking about eating ice-cream which means you get this post. No further explanation necessary?
Chocolate
Simple, classic…better in a different form than whatever state of matter ice-cream is. Chocolate ice-cream is like poetry. Sure it reads nicely, but isn’t poetry meant to be spoken?
Vanilla
Who doesn’t love a classic that goes with everything? Beaches, airports, Sunday afternoons at your local cafe. That’s right, this one is 100% thrillers.
Strawberry
Nobody likes strawberry ice-cream, surely? Then again, there’s always a niche. Like books about military history.
Cookies and Cream
In contrast, doesn’t everyone love this ice-cream? It’s nothing but romance. Two pieces that were made for each other…
Mint Choc Chip
Oddly divisive? Not special enough to be this divisive. Just like the influx of self-help literature.
Pistachio
A (delicious) acquired taste. You don’t know how good it is until you’re obsessed, i.e. fantasy fiction.
Cookie Dough
Solid choice, can’t go wrong, always go back. Narrative non-fiction.
Coffee
This flavour tastes good in every form, but it can be a little bit too strong sometimes, just like sci-fi.
If you got this far, feel free to tell me how incorrect my ice-cream opinions are! 😅

You bet I’m going to tell you how incorrect your ice-cream opinions are, Rabeeah! 🤣😜 Excuse me, but chocolate and strawberry are some of the best flavors out there!! Whereas vanilla and cookie dough… hmm, they’re edible, but very bland 🤔 And coffee is just about the most disgusting flavor I can think of! 😬
However, since you paired my favorite genre with pistachio ice-cream, I think I’m willing to forgive 😄 Although in my opinion, the very best flavor (hazelnut) tops even that!
Also, I just love that you paired mint chocolate chip with self-help literature because, I have to say, I’m one of those people who is skeptical about both 😁 I’m a grumpy twat, apparently 😂
Anyway, I loved this post, it was super fun to read! (Even if it did give me terrible ice cream cravings…)

I gave myself ice cream cravings while writing this, so I’m glad you shared that pain 😓
I can’t believe I forgot to include hazelnut! Perhaps I’ll have to write a part two, as I won’t disagree with you there 🤔 even though you’re calling my positive choices bland flavours 😤
I just don’t get the mint choc chip/self-help hype, but perhaps I haven’t sampled it enough 😂

What a fun idea for a post! I think your coffee and genre comparison is spot on. I enjoy sci-fi, but if it’s a bit too heavy on the science-y side, I get turned off.

Thanks! Me too! I love fictional pseudo-science as much as anyone, but I personally prefer scifi with fewer detailed explanations…
