Food Survey results (part 2)

Part 2 of the Food Survey results...

Which of the following is the type of chocolate you prefer the most?

13% chose white chocolate, 21% chose milk, 54% chose dark. Comments included: "Just not white", "Milk. No white. Hmm, maybe it's milk after all.... Could be white. Um - do I have to decide???, "I like all chocolate, can't eat dark it give me a migraine."

What is your favourite kind of ice cream?

1. Coconut
2. Chocolate
3. Fudge swirl! (You know, the kind with the chocolate stuff swirled into vanilla?)
4. Swiss Mocha
5. Gregs
6. Chocolate, maybe with added Baileys, or Cointreau...
7. Jamocha Almond Fudge
8. Ben & Jerry's Cool Britannia
9. Mint choc chip. Though I haven't had any in ages because there just aren't any manufacturers in the UK who make a decent brand. The Ben & Jerry's variant is quite nice but the chocolate 'chips' are too big (what an odd complaint, but it's true. They get in the way of enjoying the ice cream). Another answer would be - that ice cream made in the original Swensen's store in San Francisco. I get to make another pilgrimage there in August and I'm totally looking forward to it. I'll be on my own so maybe I'll just camp out on their doorstep for an hour or 2, having a variety of cones and watching the fog roll by.
10. Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough followed by a flavor called Moose Tracks.
11. fudge marble
12. Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia
13. Baskin Robbins chocolate mint chip
14. Mint chocolate cookie. Most anything by Breyers. Most any homemade icecream. Velvet's Moose Tracks. Ben& Jerry's Chunky Monkey and Chubby Hubby. Knight's chocolate raspberry (local scoop shop) Young's Pumpkin (local dairy w/ scoop shop)
15. Commercial: White Russian by Ben & Jerry's. Specialty: Gianduia by Ciao Bella Gelato. Restaurant: any by Redwood Park in San Francisco (ice creams that are handmade when order is placed). No longer available: Dark Chocolate by Vivoli Gelato (specialty shop in Berkeley, California went out of business at least 10 years ago) and Wild Maine Blueberry by Ben & Jerry's.
