People are being kind of snotty but there’s a difference between the stuff in stores that is portrayed as ice cream but it’s actually not.
There are all kinds of “frozen desserts” and “iced treats” etc that use vegetable oils, emulsifiers and such to simulate the ice cream experience, and those tend to also use lower-grade flavorings.
Real ice cream is pretty expensive because it uses mostly real cream and tends to use much higher quality ingredients overall. In a real ice cream product, you’re more likely to get actual cocoa vs chocolate-y flavor. Red from actual fruit vs a food dye mixed into corn syrup.
yea try fruit sorbets made from fruits that you like. you can even do it home. cut up some banana, freeze it, take it out and wait a couple minutes so it can be blended, blend it with some tahini and cinnamon. can repeat similar stuff with strawberries, seedless grapes etc.
Vanilla is unironically the best flavor, chocolate based ones are not refreshing an fruit based ones taste like food dye no. 6.
Only if they use concentrate. Though ice shops using real fruits/ingredients are rare, they make the best ice.
That’s why Vanilla is a great litmus-test flavour
Sounds like you just buy shitty ice cream
Guess you never had good fruit flavoured ice cream then
Guess not, I don’t feel like playing flavour roulette every time I feel like having ice cream.
