OK, umeboshi and natto I totally agree. But if you knock kurogoma or matcha, you ARE FIXING FOR A BEATIN'. Hardcore. |

Crap, how'd I miss this thread?

Usagi, I used to think you were so cool. Then I found out you hate green tea ice cream. You lost at least 23 cool points in my book.
But you ice cream aficionados will be pleased to hear that I had ice cream-ish things not once but three times yesterday. I had a TCBY orange sorbet, a homemade banana milkshake, and a Yummi Yogurt vanilla-chocolate swirl cone. |

my weakness for icecream has always been strictly attached to the spirit of the the word "rich"
sorbet is the realm of flavors that cannot survive a dense experience.
inject air; prepare to die.
other than that, chocolate. |

I'm not sure how I'll live with this knowledge, but I'll have to suffer through somehow. The fact is, things like tea, mint, parsley, cilantro, and lemongrass make my stomach very unhappy, and even just smelling mint can make my tummy cramp up. I have to avoid the grocery aisle where the tea is, because the smell makes me feel ill. Believe me, I'd rather not be this way - it's a pain at restaurants.
I had some Rock And Pop ice cream at the Baskin Robbins Friday. Tasty! |
in japan they have the soft serve kind like we have chocolate and vanilla here. except its green tea and vanilla. super delicious

| i'm in the same boat as fiona, ice cream makes me really sick. not that that stops me at all from eating it, or anything, sugar shuts down my common sense. rose-flavored soft cream in japan smelled nice and tasted like nothing at all, and birthday cake ice cream from stewarts was the good kind of disgusting. and sherbet rocks my world. |

Last night I was at a thai resteraunt and someone ordered something strange. it was little lumps of ice cream encased in rice flour. the overall effect was intensely familiar but not at all easily placed. it was fantastic and fantastically wierd. can someone help me out with what it is that i ate? i would like to know more of it.

I know this must have already been said, but go to italy for good ice cream.
If you disagree with the above statement you do not really love ice cream. |

One of the ice creams I mentioned is made here in San Antonio by a guy named Justin, who is from Italy. He makes the best ice cream/gelato/sorbet in town, if not in the state and he makes it all right at the shop in small batches.
| Quote: | The Food
President Clinton declared the mango-flavored ice cream to be a national treasure and had it served at both of his inaugurations. Elvis would have loved the chili caramel and sweet onion flavors. Justin's own favorite is the caramel apple. He also makes ice cream from local or regional in-season fruits, including Poteet strawberries and Fredricksburg peaches. |

Y'know, you could just go back to the place, order more of the stuff and pay attention this time.
And you'd get More!

Man, what happens if a person in Japan has that tea allergy?
Mercy killing? |
