What is "plain" ice cream?

Following the "success" of my previous two threads in this section..

Time to bring up a topic that is quite impossible to flame.

What do you consider, is Plain Ice Cream?

- Flavourless ice cream; no flavoring added.

- Vanilla ice cream; vanilla taste added.

Why?

My answer:

Flavourless ice cream.

Literal of plain.

Flavorless icecream would be like .....frozen water. Then again, no such thing exists (that pertains to my knowledge), that and we all judge Vanilla to be the standard or 'plain' flavor these days.

I judge it as vanilla ice cream with nothing on it, as most of my family does.

Flavourless ice cream would taste like milk and cream I imagine.

which is a flavor

Sounds like a challenge to me.

Well plain and vanilla are different yeah but most people just consider vanilla and plain to be the same thing. So I guess you would have to consider plain being with no added flavour. But it certainly isn't flavourless.

Flavorless ice cream is just the sweet cream base of all other ice cream flavors; sugar, milk, and cream.

Exactly, it's just cream+sugar flavoured.

Marble Slab has it.

There's a flavour which is just called "cream" I believe. It's not bad.

Flavorless icecream would be like .....frozen water.

That wouldn't be ice cream, that would just be ice.

Frozen cream, yeah.

I just say it's vanilla. That's what my mother always told me.

I consider Vanilla to be plain. It's the most basic and, arguably, the most common/popular flavor.

Exactly, it's just cream+sugar flavoured.

Since this is true, "plain" ice cream does not exist. Vanilla is a flavor and therefore is not plain. Even if you made regular ice cream with the cream, sugar, milk, etc...the sugar still has "flavor" in it and so does the milk and cream. Since all of the ingredients to make ice cream have flavors, there is no plain ice cream.

The correct answer to the poll would be neither because there is no such thing as plain ice cream.

I'd say Vanilla since, generally speaking, more plain ice cream isn't served. It's considered plain because it's white and pure.

Vanilla has even evolved into a term for something's original. Example: There is a fairly popular mod for Super Smash Brothers Brawl called Brawl+. So people who deal with the two terms call Brawl+... "Brawl Plus" and the original Brawl, "Vanilla Brawl."

Since when have words and sentences always meant what they were supposed to. The way I see it when we see Plain Ice Cream we think of Vanilla Ice Cream. In this case Plain does not refer to no flavour but rather Ordinary. What I am basically saying is that when Plain is added with Ice Cream it no longer means no flavour. On it's own it does. Think of Plain Ice Cream as a name rather than a word added with a name (If you know what I mean). That's how I see it anyways.

I wanna try some plain ice cream.

If you said plain in an ice cream shop, they'd give you vanilla.

Question Answered.
But I do want some "real" plain ice-cream.
