Licking or gobbling an ice cream?

ice cream triples - It is a sweet frozen dessert, made from milk fat and solids, sugar, flavoring, a stabilizer (usually gelatin), and sometimes eggs, fruits, or nuts. It can be served in a sweet cone or ice cream cup.

Do you lick ice cream or just bite the freezing cream? I think it is better if you will not lick it or even gobble it in a way that you eat it voraciously, right!?, i think even ice cream does have the proper way of eating it. What do you think is the proper way? What is your way of eating ice cream?

I don't lick it at all and because I don't like to lick it, I never get it in a cone, I get it in a cup and use a spoon if I'm getting it out somewhere. But I usually eat it at home with a spoon and most likely in a float.

yeah,maybe it is better if you will eat it in a cup so that you will not lick it, i think licking is not so good, but for me i respect those people who licks ice cream for the reason that in that way they are happy enjoying the cold cream, thanks good!!^^

I always lick. If I'm going to gain the calories, I want to savor it for as long as I can!

I don't know any proper way of eating icecream..!! I lick the icecream stick and gobble the cone cream ..!! Those icey falvoured sticks tastes terrific when you lick it..!! And in case of ice "creams" its gobbleing up small small portions of the ice creams..!! I follow these two ways and I enjoy it a lot. :)

I am not much fond of ice creams. However when I eat one I will get it in cup and use a spoon to eat it. I never had eaten an ice cream in a cone. Then there are some verieties sold in packs. That also I eat using a spoon. The main reason for me to avoid cone ice creams is that I don't like to lick them. Thank you

if the ice cream is on a cone I will generally neither lick nor bite, but kind of "suck" the icecream from the top, when I get to the cone I give it to either my husband or one of the children. I prefer my ice cream in a bowl, and eating it with a spoon.

i have sensitive teeth so i just lick. i don't know if there's a proper way of eating that..but i think you can taste it better when u lick because it kinda melts in your tongue. that just my opinion though.
