PBS was airing a special about ice cream the other night-- maybe it was just my PBS. Did no one else see it?
Dippin' Dots: The Ice Cream of the Future. Or at least, that's what they were saying in 1994, before it became clear that IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO IMPROVE ICE CREAM.
I think there's a vending machine with Dipping Dots at the movie theater. i may have some when I go see the penguin movie on Sunday. To be, like, thematic. Or something.
I don't have a favorite ice cream. Unless it's the one I'm having right now. When I'm having ice cream. Which I am not, at the moment. So, no favorite.
I love Cold Stone Creamery. For a work birthday party we got a Red Velvet ice cream cake -- red velvet cake, cake batter ice cream, yummy frosting and pecans. Very yummy.
They sell Dippin' Dots at Shea Stadium in a cup shaped like a Mets batting helmet.
I've never had a Dippin' Dot, but truthfully, I'm not feeling the lack.
My favorite ice creams come from the City Bakery. Best flavors:
- molasses
- beer & peanut
- salt & pepper (unfortunately this one never made it out of beta)
I like salt & pepper squid. That'd probably make a bad ice cream flavor, though, as squid is too chewy.
Rio, those aren't ice cream flavors. Okay, maybe the molasses.
Has anyone ever had lobster ice cream? I haven't, I have only heard of it. I love lobster. I love ice cream. Together? They appeal less, somehow.
Okay, squid ice cream is the grossest thing ever.
Worse even than toe-jam ice cream.
I've had garlic ice cream. It was okay.
