", but "what kind" is also often used to mean what flavor. ") "What type" sounds more as if you are looking for something unusual -- low-fat, organic, soy-based, etc. That's just my opinion, but I eat a lot of ice cream!

You could certainly ask "what flavor ice cream do you have?", but "what kind" is also often used to mean what flavor. (It could also mean "what brand?") "What type" sounds more as if you are looking for something unusual -- low-fat, organic, soy-based, etc. That's just my opinion, but I eat a lot of ice cream!
