Thinking About Ice Cream

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

I was thinking and meditating on ice cream. The best one I ever had was in the French restaurant in Barceló Maya Palace. The vanilla was truly vanilla and so was the strawberry. This seems a bit redundant, but i'ts rare to find an ice cream company that does not cheat in both departments. I had almost given up on strawberry, till I tried this once. Normally, strawberries is the worse ice cream.

For some reason, it gets really bad in the storages. It always ends up water down and chunky, with the strawberries frozen. This one was perfect, just perfect. Vanilla is another mess. It is good most of the time, but it gets water down too. Vanilla is one of the most expensive spices. All the vanilla flowers have to be hand pollinated. This quadruples the price of the vanilla.
