Nearly everyone loves ice cream, though we each may prefer a particular flavor. Most of us can agree on vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. I have a good friend living in Sweden who says when she first moved there, ice cream came in vanilla, chocolate, or pear. Last summer the Build-a-Bear in Copenhagen called their mint/chocolate chip bear “Pistacie” because Danes apparently don’t eat mint/chocolate chip. In Japan you can buy fish, squid or eggplant ice cream. I’ve heard Denny’s new maple/bacon ice cream is all the rage. My dad used to ignore the wide assortment at Baskin Robbins in favor of black licorice. I love their daiquiri ice, though I haven’t had it in years. Generally we just buy vanilla. It goes with everything from apple pie to fudge brownies. If you whip it with a banana, peach or mango, it makes a terrific smoothie. Not a bad way to celebrate Vanilla Ice Cream Day.
