Best ice cream of 2010.
I’m on deadline, so that’s why this review is older (written in 2008), but it’s still true!!
I warn you, this is very pricey, at an outrageous $4.99 a pint! (on sale at Gelson’s which is the only store that has it that I know of.) Normal people shouldn’t have to pay this much. But I decided to splurge one evening last year, and now that I know it’s the best, I keep watching for sales, and hope they’ll get it in other stores at a more reasonable price.
Greek Gods Honey Pomegranate Pagoto Ice Krema.
The website says:
In the 4th century BC, it was well known that a favorite treat of Alexander the Great was snow ice mixed with honey and nectar.
Okay…well-known???
Greek Gods decided the best kind of marketing is the kind with no separate photos, so I uploaded this cheerful one from Fancy Flours.
But everyone does know the benefits of pomegranate juice by now, a powerful antioxidant. I don’t think everyone knows how great honey is, though; it was used to cover wounds in the battlefield during WW 1, before antibiotics were invented. I myself remember clearly that when I was 8, I was so sick, lying on the couch while the grownups played cards, and my grandmother’s friends made me honey toast. I wasn’t even hungry, but I ate it and got well within the hour. Really. (I collect honey cookbooks and booklets, but I think it’s hard to bake with – it doesn’t have the same binding qualities as sugar, or some technical cooking thingie.)
