bboy_mn:
Well the peanut Butter and Jam reference above seems to say it all. I
know strawberry jam is popular in UK and is usually served with 'cream
tea' (or so I've heard). And I have to assume you have peanut butter,
which would make me assume that most kids eat BPJ's; Peanut Butter and
 Strawberry Jam sandwiches, or BPJT's Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam
on Toast. 

So if peanut butter and strawberry work there, they should work
anywhere. Makes sense to me. I think PB-SJ ice cream sounds good.
Although, not as good as the Peanut Butter ice cream you get from
Schwan's.

"Chunky Chocolate Peanut Butter Binge Premium Plus"
<http://www.schwans.com/shop/frShop.aspx?c1=1578&con=/shop/productDetails.aspx&prd=51742>

Creamy peanut butter-flavored ice cream with peanuts,
chocolate-covered peanuts, peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate
flakes, and a chocolate butter fudge swirl.

...mmmmmm.... cookie dough .....mmmmmm.... chocolate butter fudge
swirl ...

What I thought might be a good flavor and included it in my HP Story
"Respect" where the Dursley's (belive it or not) end up at Fortescue's
Ice Cream Shop. (It's believable in the story)

Deep Fried Marshmallow Ice Cream - .....mmmmmm.....
In general Marshmallow ice cream would suck, but think about it being
dip into a boiling vat of hot oil and deep fried just enough to
carmelize the outside but not melt the ice cream. The ice cream would
still suck, but how good would that carmel coating be? YIKES!

Just a thought.
