But thanks to the awesome nutritionists that I've been seeing for the past two years, my stomach lining has slowly healed... and I am once again able to eat frozen deliciousness made from milk and cream and sugar. I am ECSTATIC, which I'm sure any ice cream lover can understand.
After ten years of being ice cream deprived, though, my memories of enjoying delicious frozen dairy confections are pretty vague. I remember that my grandparents used to take my family to the Dairy-O, the local soft serve stand on the corner with a somewhat dilapidated red and white striped awning, but I don't remember what I ordered. Probably just a chocolate and vanilla twist cone. I know that when I was growing up, my favorite thing to get from an ice cream truck was one of those cookie ice cream sandwiches, and my favorite Baskin Robbin's flavor was called Gold Medal Ribbon. In junior high, my best friend had a slight obsession with Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream, so I must have tried it at some point. But I was only vaguely aware of all the tasty flavors and variations of ice cream available to a frozen dessert connoisseur.
So when I discovered that my stomach had healed enough to allow me to eat ice cream, I decided to embark upon a quest, an epic ice cream taste test. I will begin primarily with Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors, because clearly Ben & Jerry's is the premier brand of gourmet ice cream. And so I created a Ben & Jerry's bucket list. Am I missing any flavors that you would recommend?
