A float in a bowl sounds a little odd, but the flavor should be the same as in a glass or mug. Interesting.

If you could put the ice cream in the mug and then hard freeze them before pouring the Guinness over, maybe that would cut down on the soupiness....

With Guinness?

As a kid I used to have them with lemonade, and while I can almost imagine it working with Guinness, it does sound a bit odd.

No, I believe the term you're looking for is "delicious."

On a separate but related topic - I was buying vanilla ice cream yesterday to top some fudge brownies I'll be serving at dinner tonight.  I was looking for the best and most creamy possible vanilla ice cream, preferably one with actual vanilla bean visible.  When I finally found one (Breyer's, I think it's the one miles used), my girlfriend was like "Gross, it's got SPECKS in it!"  I spent 10 minutes trying to convince her that the specks were where deliciousness lived, to no avail.

Now I have Edy's double vanilla and will just have to live without.  Damn anti-vanilla lobby.

On the other hand, now that I may have some leftover, it's pretty important I buy some Guinness and give this a whirl.

What does she do with mint chocolate chip? Eat around the cippity goodness that is chocolate? Sigh...her loss though.

As for the Guinness float, looks good, seems good so it must be great right? I'm going to try it next time I get some Guinness but I don't think I'm going to try and get a bottle just to do this (underage makes it sometimes difficult). I think it would be better in a chilled mug, kinda like a root beer float. That's just me though.

I think I will try it in a chilled mug, too.  I'll have to get a new one.  It will just feel wrong using my A&W mug for this.

You need to break up with her.

Well, I'm back to report that the ice cream, despite not having specks, was delicious - although it might've been the warm brownie under it that did the trick.  Also, I'm considering posting the recipe for the roasted pork chop entree somewhere, since no fewer than 2 people declared it "the best pork chop of my life."

I don't think I'll break up with her over her non-appreciation of vanilla, but I'm certainly doing my best to reform her - she's come a long way into the world of deliciousness, there's just a few things I need to work out...

Nonsense!  Break up with her!  it is the only sensible thing to do!  After all, the Internet said so.

I think I found the missing ingredient that separates this from the likes of ambrosia or manna - Guinness Ice Cream.

If I ever get my ass in gear (and get an ice cream maker), I am ALL ABOUT THIS.

Yeah rather than breaking up with your girlfriend you may want to just get an ice cream maker and then you can work together to build an ice cream you both enjoy. It is a bonding experience to make ice cream with another person. I have one and it did not cost me much and it is magical. Home-made chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups...home-made French vanilla with a warm brownie and caramel...home-made mango sorbet with, um, a spoon and a bowl. These are simple and easy-to-make delights that I cannot live without now that I have lived with them.

That Guinness ice cream looked pretty interesting, I have never made an ice cream with molasses before. You would definitely have to refridgerate it for way more than 2 hours though or you will get soup.

There is a place in my neighborhood that makes Guiness ice cream. I think they are Jamaican, is Guiness a big thing there?  Anyway, if you are ever passing through the DC area I will tell you where they are.

When I was in Puerto Rico, I had Nutella ice cream.  Which was fuck*ng FANTASTIC.  Should you ever encounter this elsewhere, partciulary in the DC area, please call me 911.
