Over the weekend I made an apple pie. Can't have apple pie without vanilla ice cream so I asked SO to stop and pick up a carton of vanilla bean ice cream while she was out.
She came home with Breyer's instead of our normal brand as that wasn't available. A closer inspection of the carton revealed she had bought "Extra Creamy Frozen Dairy Dessert".
"What is frozen dairy dessert?", you ask. It's not ice cream. Breyer's (and others) have bastardized their product so much the Federal Government says they can no longer call it ice cream! It has an off putting texture and never freezes hard like ice cream would.
A quick inspection of the label gives us a clue. The ingredients are, listed in order from most to least, MILK, SUGAR, CORN STARCH, CREAM and a whole bunch of less than 2% stuff.
I'm not a fan of fake food.
