Black Scarf is a dummy. That's gonna be the best vanilla you ever had. That, or the whole shops a gimmick
-
just to be the first to say it, vanilla is a complex flavour which makes incredible ice cream if done right.
the flavour you're thinking of is "milk".

Bonus: the ice cream machine is broken and waiting for parts

As if vanilla is the same at any two craft ice cream shops

This is the approximately the plot of a KND episode

Gonna go ahead and say that if you have 2000 flavors you probably didn’t spend enough time optimizing each one for perfect flavor.

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.

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

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

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