My favorite is your basic with Gulden's brown mustard. It's also good
with some crisp bacon and a slice of tomato inside, too. Or a thin
slice of ham.

FWIW when we were in college there was a chocolatier a block away who
also made homemade ice cream with seasonal fruit. My favorite was
coffee ice cream with big chunks of great leftover dark dipping
chocolate. They did a thriving business.
