I adore strawberry ice cream, which is available in many options anywhere i've ever lived. It is the best and all the fruit-haters in my life are just plain misguided. I am usually more of a relativist, and believe that to each his own, but on this topic too many people have their heads up their butts. More for me and the lucky few.

Of course Steve's is a pale shadow--it was sold many years ago, and Steve Herrell moved his operation to Northampton, MA, where he's been beloved for many years. Moving back in on Boston is only right.
mint iced tea, and lemonade and milkshakes!
I like finger food--strawberries, bacon-wrapped shrimp, something that is as fun to eat as bubbly is to drink.
Shitake mushrooms are already here from my favorite stall at the Borough Hall farmer's market. They also sell lettuces packaged with roots for long storage, eggs, and honey.

I would kill for a row of rhubarb plants, berry canes, gooseberry bush, and sungold tomatoes
My favorite dessert is unquestionably strawberry (or any berry) shortcake, with fresh cream and biscuit!
I love to make pounds and pounds of cookie and pie crust, roll it up, and have cookies speedy whenever i want them. I often let my roommate play with them so she doesn't have to buy pillsbury.
Alcoholic- margaritas hands down (fresh limes though)
Non Alcoholic- iced tea
Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.
i love strawberry ice cream, BlueBell calls theirs "strawberries and homemade vanilla". they are based in texas but now available in about 17 states through the south and some of the southwest. their seasonal peaches and homemade vanilla is very tasty as well. and yes, difficult to mass produce. before they started making it, i had only had actual home made. i think there are so many bad strawberry ice cream experiences out there because strawberries are difficult and artificial flavors were widely used in the past, especially "strawberry" which has no relation whatsoever to the actual strawberry. BTW, BlueBell also has "ultimate neopolitan" which is their straberries and homemade vanilla, dutch chocolate and homemade vanilla. it will change your mind about neopolitan...thanks
I am a lover of chocolate or mint chip almost always when it comes to ice cream. However, yesterday in the extreme humidity of NYC we went out for some gelato, went over to the little stand outside Eli's on Third Avenue, ridiculously expensive, I know, and lo and behold I ordered the strawberry. It just looked so strawberry-y and good and refreshing. And it was. I am a convert. But I'll still order chocolate or mint chip 9 times out of 10.
Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.
Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!
I love a Sea Breeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ahhh!
Cherry limeade, made with club soda and not plain water. Fizzy and fresh and cold, it hits all the right spots.
I would argue that the best ice cream of whatever flavor is first cream, then whatever else is added in. This is why haagen dazs strawberry (ie cream, strawberries, sugar...) was able to sustain me for an entire pregnancy.... The pink stuff that tastes like strawberry jelly doesn't count in the debate. As for what's the best formulation, you can't beat homemade in june with freshly picked berries, unless it's homemade peach in august.
