Your dismissive snark is fail. What makes you think there's no fat in her ice cream?

  Okay I'll spell it out for the reflexive drive-by downvoters: The ice cream is real ice cream, and crystal size is an orthogonal issue to fat content. I'm not sure what hipsters have to do with it, but I find it a sad reflection on the state of HN that the middle-brow prejudiced dismissal of imagined cultural reasons gets a higher vote than someone pointing out how said dismissal is based on an utter absence of facts.

    "The ice cream is real ice cream, and crystal size is an orthogonal issue to fat content." I never claimed the ice cream wasn't "real", and crystal size is correlated to fat content: the higher the fat content, the smaller the crystals. Liquid nitrogen is a gimmicky method of accomplishing something that is already done in simpler ways.

      So given a maximally (because there is obviously a limit before it becomes gross right?) high fat ice cream, you are claiming it won't have smaller ice crystals using liquid nitrogen compared to traditional methods?
