I was just in the Toscanini's this article speaks of a couple weeks ago, and they didn't have tutti frutti ice cream. 19 years ago, I saw an episode of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" in which Ozzie goes on a desperate search for tutti frutti ice cream. Ozzie found it. Thus far, I have not. My research suggests that tutti frutti (also known as "frozen pudding") is readily available in Massachusetts, so when I was in Cambridge for a week last month, I fully expected to find it. Toscanini's didn't have it. Brigham's website claims they make frozen pudding from September through December, but when I stopped in at the Brigham's parlor near the Free Software Foundation in Boston, the rather grim clerk at the counter muttered "it's seasonal; we don't have any." I asked a native Boston tour guide about it. He said that some guy in his neighborhood makes it, but just closed up shop for the winter. I spent $40 in taxi fare going to grocery stores in search of it. Nothing. I tried several other ice cream parlors; only one person laughed. I did end up getting some tasty butter pecan ice cream at a shop in Harvard Square, but it just wasn't what I was after. I realize this is (mostly) off-topic, but has anyone here ever eaten tutti frutti ice cream? If so, what's it like? And, is usually easier to find in Massachusetts, or is my research full of holes and folklore?
