What dose icecream taste like?

Question

My parents are Vegan and I've been a vegan since birth. My vegetarian friend works at DQ and she keeps teasing me to go lacto.

Answer 1

You'll never know till you try it.

The first time I ate pizza, I was 16. Until then, I hadn't known what I was missing. I've eaten a lot of pizzas since then!

Answer 2

Haven't you ever seen the soy ice creams in stores? They taste exactly the same as that. The rice milk ice cream tastes a little weird, but there are some great companies, like Soy Delicious... you can even buy a whole quart of chocolate chip cherry ice cream that tastes just like Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia, but it's animal free.

If your friend at DQ is teasing you, it's more likely you should get a new friend than change your life and who you are deep inside out of fear that she's making fun of you. What kind of friend does that?

By the way, haven't your vegan parents told you about the reasons why they don't eat dairy? Do some research, and if you figure out you just don't care about the same reasons they do, maybe make the switch. But I have a hard time believing that one, your parents never bought soy based ice cream, and two, that you don't know or believe the ethical reasons behind being vegan. That's like saying you're Catholic like your parents are, but not knowing what Jesus is. O_o;

Answer 3

Soy ice cream, in my opinion is almost better than real ice cream.  There are so my varieties and while a little more expensive, they have nearly half the fat of regular ice cream to boot!  Stick with soy, you might regret trying dairy.

Answer 4

It tastes like soy ice cream.  Almost exactly like it.  Why eat dairy ice cream when soy tastes so similar?

Answer 5

its cold and creamy. u also eat it with a spoon!!!

Answer 6

To me, Tofutti brand dairy free ice cream tastes just like regular ice cream. I love Better Pecan flavor. I just wish they made coffee "ice cream"

Answer 7

Like vegan soy or hemp ice cream but nauseating. (at least to me). I think vegan ice cream such as Soy Delicious and Purely Decadent and Toffuti taste way better than any non-veg ice cream I have had.

Answer 8

It tastes g***** delicious... but DQ ice cream isn't good.

At the moment I don't think Cold Stone or Marble Slab offer soy ice creams (they do have sorbet), but if they ever did, those would be the places to go.

Soy Dream and Tofutti get very, very close.  Probably to the point where you wouldn't even know if you switched someone's regular stuff with soy, but there is a slight difference.

The only problem with the soy brands is there isn't enough variety (because there isn't a big enough market for it yet).  I've only seen maybe 3 different flavors of soy ice cream... compared to hundreds I've seen of regular.

Answer 9

If you've had soy ice cream, you're not missing anything. It tastes almost exactly the same except the vegan stuff is ethical and not as bad for ya.

Now if you'd never had dairy ice cream OR vegan ice cream, now THAT would be a travesty. D:

Answer 10

I'm vegan and can honestly say vegan ice cream is so much better!! Your actually lucky to be vegan from birth!! I wish I was!! But I have been for 3 months and going strong!!

Answer 11

your "friend" at DQ needs to respect you more. there are some things that you can kid about and others that you absoluty CANT. dont let her change you. ice cream isnt worth letting inocent animal die.

Answer 12

There are great vegan alternatives to ice cream. There's even a cookbook, I believe it's called Vice Dream, so you can make your own.

As for what reg. ice cream tastes like, it depends on the flavor, but generally it's cold, creamy, and sweet.

Answer 13

Tofutti

Answer 14

I'm not a vegetarian, but am lactose-intolerant:) ...  Tofutti Cuties (the little "ice cream" sandwiches) are actually pretty good; and some of the soy pints are fine.  I don't really like the rice ones though .....Assuming you can eat sugar, try SORBET (no dairy).  Hagen Daz has wonderful raspberry, mango and lemon sorbet......

Answer 15

gorgeous!  especialy ben and jerrys!!! YUM

Answer 16

Soy ice cream is just as good...well...almost. it's close enough.

Answer 17

Sorry trying to describe a taste is something like explaining sight to a blind man. But here we go...

Ice Cream is sweet like sugar (are you allowed sugar?) but not overpowering like raw sugar. It is cold but not so cold that it feels bad. Other then that it tends to taste like the flaor of the specific ice cream some like Strawberry, Blueberry, Mango or other fruit flavors you are familiar with.

Yes, I like ice cream!!!

Answer 18

Im a lacto vegetarian and my vegan cousin came to visit yesterday and we had soy ice cream at her house and im never eating dairy ice cream again!! yummy
