Ice cream again

It can be a poem or we can play it straight like we do here.

I lament the Ben-and-Jerryification of the creamy flavorful cold dessert most all of us love for its texture and its taste.

Ice cream should be smooth.


Ice cream should be velvety.

Lumps of candy bars and cookies complicate a straightforward treat.

I don’t want my tongue to encounter popcorn when I look for the excitement of a neutral flavor, simple chocolate.

Uninvited caramel candy bars or hard peppermint mar my experience. I turn to gelato for what I crave.

“You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream.” What’s your favorite flavor? A clever pun or a single origin like plain old vanilla or coffee?
