I have an ice cream machine and make my own. And frankly there is not much that beats a good homemade vanilla icecream made with quality dairy and vanilla. It is completely different from all of the mass produced ones.
But yeah, homemade sorbets are fantastic too, and so incredibly easy to make.
A place near me always fucks with my requested spice because I’m a tiny white girl and they assume indian curry spice is too much for me (my ex grew reapers and I can cook with them even though they only bring heat and metallic flavor. I prefer the flavor of ghost peppers, but either way, a spicy vindaloo is workable)
But they always give me several mango gelato servings on top when they tone down the spice in my order, so I order the hottest thing I can, and they give me the toned-down version which is about what I want, and I get free mango gelato. Sexism win.
(and yes, I have compared what I get to what a friend gets from the same place, and it’s entirely different.)
Everyone disses vanilla, because it became commercialised.
But a good vanilla ice cream? Better than most other flavours. Excluding sorbets, because a good lemon and raspberry sorbet is best.

Vanilla is one of the classics for a reason. That’s a fuckin earned spot.

Good lemon sorbet is number one
So good
My top 2 ice creams are :
You cannot just leave passion fruit (maracuja) sorbet out of that list. It’s like old money mango.
Well, I didn’t try that one, so it can’t be in my top list
