I need my burger freedom so I voted for limiting ice cream. I think I consume burgers way more than ice cream (not something I wanted to realize today though – thanks Eick…).

I picked the ice cream to limit. I am a one flavor kind of gal and could eat Butter Pecan Ice Cream until the end of time, no substitutions.

But I like the burgers my husband makes along with a good, greasy burger from a local diner, plus McD’s once in a while – so even with different toppings – I really couldn’t pick one specific burger I could live with forever.

And as was said above me – there are a million other desserts and I don’t eat a ton of those anyway – I have to have the beef

F ice cream. I’ll limit myself to just one (Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia perhaps? so that I can eat burgers whenever I want.

A) There are a million other desserts
B) Burgers are an actual substantive meal
C) Burgers are more delicious
D) I never eat dessert/sweets
E) When you are traveling and there is no where to eat, you might want a burger at a rest stop or something

This was an easy one for me… I don’t like ice cream. (I know, shocking!)

Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Everything with extra Jalapeño peppers.
Five Guys for the win!

Burger, without a doubt. I very rarely eat red meat, anyway, plus I’m allergic to most sauces, so I’m happy with a plain cheeseburger, ketchup and mustard. On the other hand, I love love love frozen yogurt, and would be miserable if I had to live without it

Burger absolutely – Snug Burger from Snug Harbor in Grand Haven, MI.

I could eat that burger every day for the rest of my life and die happy. And I would like the freedom to switch up my ice cream every now and then so having to stick with just one flavor would be sad.

I went with the burger simply because while burgers are good, if I’m not limited topping choices I just need to choose one type of burger that I’d really like and then go wild with toppings if I wanted variety. Personally I’d go with a Five Guys Burger. The thing about ice cream is that toppings are great but you know it really is about the variety of flavors that you can get with ice cream, and combining ice creams with each other to make a really awesome sundae.

This is the easiest question in the world. If I can change the toppings for either the burger or the ice cream every time I eat one why wouldn’t everyone want to limit the burger. As long as you pick a place that offers a really delicious burger you can add cheese, bacon, bbq sauce, onion rings, or whatever your heart desires on that particular day, always making it different. A burger itself is always the same, the only difference is the quality (which in this case you choose at the beginning) and the toppings you add (which you select every time). Ice cream on the other hand is generally appreciated for the flavor itself and not the toppings. Unless you are a person who only likes vanilla, why would you want to limit your ice cream choice when there are hundreds of different flavors to choose from?

I enjoy ice cream far too much to be limited to only one brand and one flavor. I’ll just stick to one burger, and that’ll be the one I make at home on my charcoal grill. Cheese, onions, and lettuce.

I like burgers a certain way, but I don’t want to limit myself to just Five Guys, or just Clarkesburger, or just homemade burgers.

And while homemade ice cream is nice, it can’t compete with a Butterfinger McFlurry.

I choose to only eat In-n-Out Double-Double, Animal style.

Too many good ice creams out there to limit to one choice.

Lick’s Nature Burger (a veggie burger here in Canada) is the unwavering burger choice I already eat, and won’t order any other. Already living with it.

As for scream, some days it’s a chocolate craving, some days it’s vanilla, and some days it’s any of the other 8million flavours out there!

I’d MUCH rather vary the ice cream, are you kidding me?

Wow. Ice Cream has a big chunk for a food that’s meatless and cheese-less.

Burger, no question. There are so many kinds of ice cream out there, and I can make my own if I get bored (it’s not actually that hard if you have the right tools (a Kitchenaid and the ice cream bowl) , whereas burgers require a meat grinder and a grill, and touching raw meat. (ew)
I’m not even sure what burger I’d pick—probably a Gardenburger, honestly.
