God that show was good. I remember exactly what episode you're referring to, and the 5 is right about sprinkles

Also an episode Iron Fist... for some reason.

Even a simple sweet cream flavor is amazing on its own if they have a good process and they use good milk. There was once a local place where I tried that and loved it, and it's something I'd love to try again...if not for how badly dairy just fucks me up. I love getting fancy with ingredients, but sometimes less is more.

But it's vanilla. That's like a 24-hour diner not knowing how to make eggs.

VANILLA IS NOT PLAIN

VANILLA IS A COMPLEX FLAVOR

I'd say the measure of an ice cream shop should be their vanilla. No gimmicks. No cover ups. It's the industry standard.

If your vanilla slaps, that's all I need to know.

Plain or not, vanilla is common. According to this comic, you will die when your body hits the bottom.

[email protected]

Yes, exactly. If the shop can't make good vanilla, then they're a gimmick shop.

[email protected]

Haha when I want to try a new brand or location, I judge it by how good their vanilla is.

[email protected]

Not plain, just basic. It’s in a lot of other flavors.

Dude made the climb. Gets whatever flavor they want.

Thank you!

High quality vanilla ice cream slaps beyond belief, I don't know where sushi shops source it

Which is fascinating because it used to be very rare until we figured out how to make a 100% equal replica chemically for cheap.

same, but chocolate

Still prefer real vanilla for cold things. There's more flavors in it than just vanillin. Most of that gets destroyed at higher temps. So for baked goods, artificial vanilla is indistinguishable.

VANILLA ICE CREAM IS BEST ICE CREAM

[email protected]

Did bandana kid do this against their will? Did they sacrifice everything to get their friend to this? Were they led to believe that friend was going to get something more complex up until this moment? Did they not care at all about the ice cream?

Why are they so invested on their friend getting something complex? Seems like bandana kid is judging their friend based on criteria that deeply personal, and is kind of a tool.

Vanilla extract became expensive, many ice cream makers used less, end result vanilla is considered the bland flavor because there is never any vanilla in it.

It’s fucking milksugar.

Find a vanilla with actual vanilla in it and it’ll grow hair on your tits, sweetie.
