Where can you get just plain mint ice cream? Just smooth mint with no chocolate, no peppermint sticks, no nothing… just mint. This drives me crazy. I do like mint chocolate chip. It’s my favorite flavor of ice cream. But I’d really just prefer plain mint. UDF is my favorite, but I’m not that picky. I like Breyer’s interpretation, too. But please, just mint.

Peppermint ice cream tastes wonderful, but I won’t touch it because of the crunchy peppermint sticks that stick to the teeth. Just give me the peppermint flavor please. NO STICKS!

Mint.

I guess I could try to make it myself. Every time I’ve tried to make homemade ice cream, it turns into a huge mess that tastes questionable, at best. I don’t really consider this a valid option.

Maybe somebody out on the net makes a smooth mint. I was looking right before I typed this post. And then I realized that I’m going to have to do some big Google investigation to find a smooth mint. “smooth mint” (in quotes) brought up “Smooth mint ice cream speckled with rich chocolate pieces”, “smooth mint ice cream, swirled with dark chocolate sauce and dark chocolate shavings”, “smooth mint ice cream loaded with Andes Candies and thin mint cookies”, and other similar crapola. Now it’s gonna be work, and that pisses me off, so here I am.

By the way, I feel the same way about banana cake and banana ice cream. Always the need for chocolate, as though the banana flavor doesn’t hold up on its own. Always with the ruining of the banana with the chocolate…
