- socalgal2 3mo agoI've had lots of different ice creams. I enjoy the differences. Turkish Ice Cream is chewy for example. I like soft serve sometimes too and the quality varies widely from icy (meh) to smooth (yum) to light and creamy (yum). There's a branch in Japan that advertizes it's 25% whipped cream. it's great! What's 1950s USSR ice cream like?
- striking 3mo agoI've not personally had it but from my experience with fresh high quality high milk fat dairy (which I believe Soviet ice cream to be), the richness, high fat content, lack of air bubbles and stabilizers help keep it from melting.
- lstodd 3mo agoBest ingredients possible make the product remarcable. For icecream you make it from cream, not milk, not some substitute, just the real milk cream. Not the processed crap that's sold along the same crap milk. The real thing, made from real milk at the spot. And then you have the product. It's enshittification reversed.
- striking 3mo agoYep. The only place I have had anything like this is at the University of Connecticut dairy farm. They make the ice cream on campus from dairy cows that live on campus. And it's lovingly made by bushy-tailed, bright-eyed students, so the technique is immaculate as well. There are some facsimiles where I live now but nothing could ever replace the real thing.
- IAmBroom 3mo ago> I've not personally had it... > which I believe Soviet ice cream to be... Wow.
- striking 3mo agoI mean. I looked up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plombir https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plombir The standard at which it was made appears to be a historical fact.
- lstodd 3mo agoProcess makes the product, not percentage. You can for example attempt to make icecream from say typical 30% and end up with uneatable slop only because you didn't start with whole milk out of the cow. Turkish I would not consider an icecream at all (and I lived in IST for half a year). it is hard to convey in words the sheer delight. has to be experienced.
- protocolture 3mo agoThe first step in getting good ice cream, is banishing trotsky.

- nitwit005 3mo agoThat was unusually bad. I actually had to give up on it from the nuisance.
- transitorykris 3mo agoPainful trying to scroll. But I will say I’ll never be as astounded as seeing a bowl of Breyers sitting on a conference room table for an hour and never losing its shape.
