It's not what you're thinking, Spaw! (no Bourbon) We had "access" to milk, eggs and ice from the university. Then we raided our cabinets for various flavorings, coconut, peppermint, chocolate, banana, peach, cherry. Figs may have been used. We found that crushed ice in an electric freezer was about the best. (and then pack it in salt water/ice for several hours) Forget all that nonsense about hand-cranked freezers. I think that was just something my parents said to keep the kids busy. Come to think of it, we seldom waited several hours either.
