As I have admitted in other threads on Roadfood, I am a Hot Pepper Freak of the very worst sort. But, I have had two gelatos here in DullAss that I believe anyone would enjoy. OF COURSE I did! They are: Dark Chocolate & Ancho Chile Gelato and Sweet Cream & Hatch Chile Gelato. Creamy frozen goodness with a pepper kick/finish! YUMmmmm.

There's an ice cream stand/farm near Amherst MA that makes & sells Asparagus Ice Cream during the spring asparagus season.

I only needed one bite to ensure me it just wasn't right.

Yes, those are the more expensive ones. I have never tried it. Perhaps I will splurge for a bottle! I would assume it would have to be on good vanilla ice cream..the one withe vanilla seeds bits in them?

I had marinated berries in a balsamic reduction over custard at an Italian restaurant. It was good..i enjoyed the sweet tang of it.

Hmmm..now i am craving this too!

Straight out of the bottle. It's an excellent Balsamic and quite thick.

I have never tried it, but saw a recipe for it with some strawberries, but the balsmaic vinegar had to be reduced.

Do you have reduce it too in your recipe, or straight out of the bottle?

Have you ever tried a good balsamic vinegar over ice cream? I like it on vanilla ice cream.

That sounds delicious!!!!!!!! Mr. Hoffman.

I do make a cognac infused peach jam for which I have earned a nice rep. for amongst family and friends. They are precious jars as i do not make too many.

I wonder if that would do as a topping over good vanilla ice cream. Hmm.

Thanks for the idea.

About 12 years ago Velvet Ice Cream in Utica, Ohio made a most wonderful flavor called Brandied Peach. It was the absolute best ice cream I've ever tasted. They had it for a short while and then stopped. I call each year to ask whether they'll be bringing it back and I'm told each time that they intend to, "one of these days."

I don't think holding my breath till it comes back is a good idea.

6star and jm199.

Thanks for both your thoughtful replies, and at least i have an idea now. I wish I had some to taste.

I found a recipe for angoursta bitters ice cream. So, I went to the grocery store not know what it was. I purchased a small bottle, well, the only bottle size.

What a peculiar taste. I liked it a lot in some soda pop, but not sure what to make of it as an icecream.

Analei-6 Star is correct, the ice cream that the Amish served tasted just like Clark's Teaberry gum. In my youth, that chewing that gum was readily available in stores. The ice cream tasted like this gum, only creamier in texture.

The Amish pick the berries and make a paste out of them, then add to vanilla ice cream, turning it pink. However, the ice cream is very enjoyable; it is subtle and mild in flavor and not overpowering like a wintergreen or spearmint. It does not taste like mouthwash or "medicinal" in nature.

I hope that this helps. Sorry for the delay in posting a reply to your query.

Teaberry icecream. Can you approximate in word description the flavour of a teaberry. I am curious. I thought I had a good knowledge of berries, but apprently I do not and my curiosity is piqued.

I wonder if it would make a good sorbet as well.

From the Victory Old Time Candy Store page: http://www.victoryseeds.c...e/clarks_teaberry.html

“Clark’s Teaberry chewing gum…..has a mild flavor – somewhere between mint and cinnamon, with a subtle kick….. The name “teaberry” actually is the common name for wintergreen in the Southeastern United States, where it grows wild.”

Safron flavored ice cream.

I love those triple layer bean dessert drinks!

Dessert I make at home and off topic:

Buy can of sweetened red (Azuki) beans. Put some over crushed ice and top with unsweetened coconut milk (or cream if you can find it)

I was visting Amish friends a few months ago, and they offered me homemade ice cream. The flavor was Teaberry, just like the gum. The Amish pick it from shrubs that grow in the woods.

The ice cream color is pink like strawberry ice cream, but one bite is all you need to know that the flavor is teaberry. It was delicious!

Mar: Sounds like it was a bit disappointing.

I like the "dessert" drinks at Vietnamese places..they are quite different that North Americans or Europeans classify as dessert. ONe of my favourites is mashed green beans, then a layer of pinto beants, then a layer of green doughy noodles, and then lots of fresh coconut, coconut milk, and shaved ice.

What is the Saffron at Mashti Malone's?

Re:Most unique ice cream i had (mar52)

Well I stopped for one after work.

I don't think a freeze was what I wanted. The guy behind the counter filled the metal malt maker thing with soda water and a couple scoops of daiquiri ice and whirled it in the machine.

It separated with about an inch of soda on the bottom of the glass before he even gave it to me. It was completely separated by the time I got in my car.

The great flavor was there but it was not good.

Next time I'll have it on a cone.

I had an avocado shake at a Vietnamese restaurant. Not my thing although the Saffron at Mashti Malone's is delicious.

I have nade an avocado, mango, and yogurt shake and it was really good.

Louis: i have a recipe for that kinda of ice cream. Not sure i would care for it. But it is different. I have a book on ice cream, and there are ones for Parmesan cheese, avocado, and garlic.

I would give the avodcado one a try, but not the rest. Bu
