    just to be the first to say it, vanilla is a complex flavour which makes incredible ice cream if done right.

    the flavour you’re thinking of is “milk”.

      Even a simple sweet cream flavor is amazing on its own if they have a good process and they use good milk. There was once a local place where I tried that and loved it, and it’s something I’d love to try again…if not for how badly dairy just fucks me up. I love getting fancy with ingredients, but sometimes less is more.

      it’s not that vanilla is a bad flavour, it’s that you can get it anywhere

      it’s like being at a pizza restaurant with a hundred different pizzas and you order Margherita

        But this just has the same problem. Margherita pizzas are also amazing if done right. There is a great Italian restaurant I go to where I rarely get anything but the Margherita because it’s so good. What you are think of is “plain cheese and tomato”.

        i live in sweden, if a pizza place had less than a hundred different pizzas i’d be weirded out.

          Fair enough, but I meant that as opposed to a more general restaurant that has pizza’s but doesn’t specialise in them. You can probably get a great Margherita there too.

            honestly, if a restaurant has many different pizzas their base tends to be bland. i’m not sure the same applies for ice cream.
