Upon discussion about Ginger's favourite ice cream flavour, I threw a poll together to see what people thought. This may just lead to moving any further ice cream discussion to this post, but that's okay. We'll organize, here. The answer choices are really just plain ones and ice cream flavours I like (my favourite being peppermint) since I honestly have no idea what flavours Ginger enjoyed. If anyone is still curious I can attempt to find more info. Actually, it's really not necessary to vote. The poll is quite bogus actually, just leave a comment here if interested.

Great! I chose Strawberry, as mentioned before... just have this idea she liked that - she wasn't vanilla, and may have liked chocolate, but there's something about strawberry that just says, "Ginger"...
ReplyDeleteI found a picture of her with is most likely a shake, but may be an ice cream 'float'...of course, it is in B/W, but the concoction is definitely a light color...could very well be vanilla...I posted it on G-ology, as a visual aid...
And, not sure about the variety of flavors thay had back then...I may be totally wrong, but I think I remember back before cookie dough ice cream was created (oof, I'm getting old!)... rocky road has been around quite a while, tho...as well as peppermint flavors.
More research will be performed...there is no option...
Probably the pink one!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe because Ginger's hair is strawberry blonde at times? Haha!
ReplyDeleteYeah I think cookie dough is newer, Rocky Road came out in the 20s I think, and definitely peppermint I could see emerging in the early 20th century, though I could be completely wrong... when was ice cream invented in the first place? I have another question that I think I will post here next week... it merits some discussion.
Lauren
I dont know why, but I see her as more of a honeycomb/ rum and raisin type girl :P
ReplyDeletexx
Haha! I think after I find all of her movies this blog will take a new direction - The Ginger List: A List of Questions to Ask Ginger.
ReplyDeleteLauren
I can't picture Ginger with a chocolate ice cream cone. I'm thinking she gravitated towards the fruit flavors like strawberry, black raspbery, peach, banana, orange pineapple. I also see her liking vanilla. I expect she didn't stick with one flavor, but given the above facts, I pick her favorite as cherry vanilla.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, since Ginger had an ice cream fountain in her home, I'm sure she made her own ice cream, too. You know, with one of those hand crank ice cream makers - pour in the recipe, add ice, add rock salt, and get cranking. That's probably why Ginger could eat lots of ice cream and stay thin. She burnt off all the calories cranking.
"She burnt off all the calories cranking."
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to dancing?
Lauren
It's vanilla - she had an ice-cream fountain of it in her house. I see PG Aunt has already said this though :D
ReplyDeleteSolved! Sounds like a true American.
ReplyDeleteLauren
Cool that she had her own fountain! Wonder whatever happened to all of that...
ReplyDeleteHow cool would it be to have the 'soda dispenser' deal, or really anything else from it!
...I still think Ginger's fave was strawberry, although that may have not been as easy to 'concoct' back then, just due to availability... but she WAS in California, which has produce year-round, as far as I can tell...
...we really need some ice cream historians on the case, y'all...
PG Aunt and PG Dagda??? ...so, what is 'PG'? Pro-Ginger? from what I've been told (and know) about y'all, I would say so! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see y'all on the 'blog' side of things! Do y'all have blog sites? I would be interested in those - seems to be a decent blog 'community' starting up for VKM!
P.S. - It's still STRAWBERRY, y'all... :-]
