Nume is a guy with fairly classic American taste in food, so probably a root beer float, or a hot-fudge sundae (vanilla ice cream, cherry on top, no sprinkles, can take or leave whipped cream).

Ilraen is an Andalite. If we let him talk about food, we'll be here all week.

Gall and Derik are both still a little impressed with the concept of ice that someone didn't have to go carve off a frozen river or a glacier and isn't being used to keep real food from spoiling. Berk is in a cold climate, so I don't know that anyone there would often want such a thing. Frozen desserts aren't unheard-of on Pern, but they're reserved for special occasions. Cooled drinks are more common, especially in the tropical latitudes such as where Derik grew up, and there are plenty of fruits (and alcoholic beverages) one might use to make them. Anyway, the clearest idea I have about their preferences is that, given the choice between the ice cream flavors chocolate raspberry, strawberry peanut butter, and sticky toffee pudding, Derik preferred the first, and Gall preferred the last. I think they'd both like fruit sorbets and shaved ices, though. Put a dash of bitters on top, and so much the better!

And everyone likes chocolate. Derik will tell you klah is better, but as long as it's quality chocolate and not too sweet, you won't catch him complaining about it.

No points awarded for guessing that Jenni drinks iced tea. {; P For more of a treat, bubble tea!
