I remember when I was young and every meal came with ice cream after, or maybe that was just when Granpda Wayne used to come visit. He loved the stuff, and somehow we still do, even after having had an ice cream place ourselves. In San Francisco there are two ice cream places that I've made it a habit to go visit. They are Humphry Slocumbe and Bi-Rite.
Humphry Slocumbe has had some of the most interesting ice cream flavors I've ever had. My favorite by far was the Thai Curry Sorbet. Yea, you heard that right, Thai Curry. At first, my mouth didn't know what to make of the sweet sorbet combined with the distinct flavor of a dinner dish. After a few bites it was won over. While technically, this was not ice cream, the other flavors were. Other flavors I've experienced here include beet, salted carmel, carrot, and butter thyme. All of them were fun to have, and if you are interested in pushing the limits on what you expect from your ice cream, this is a good place to visit.
Bi-Rite is definitely my favorite. Like Humphry Sloclombe, they have some pretty unique flavors, however I have to favor Bi-Rite since half of the flavors aren't beer or rum (which rules them out for me). The Lavender flavor at Bi-Rite is the clutch flavor to get, however don't make the mistake I did and try to get it after some spicey Indian food. It is a really delicate flavor, and to appreciate it your taste buds need to be able to, well, taste it.
