A true classic, vanilla beans ice cream reminds me a lot of childhood craziness. Thanks for the recipe, definitely gonna give this a shot.

How is this really different from what Breyers used to be?

Also, making your own vanilla is super easy but takes forever. I’ve got a handle of it in my cupboard. It’s just vanilla beans, vodka and bourbon.

Speaking of “things that are not health foods but have switched to sugar,” I think a lot of Kraft products have switched or are in the middle of switching over. The newest Miracle Whip labels say something like “new formula, same great taste” and is now formulated with sugar in place of HFCS. (Yeah, Kraft is the great food Satan, Miracle Whip is for hobos… whatevs, more for me, thanks.)

Awhile ago I made vanilla ice cream with a Tahitian vanilla bean and it was A-mazing. Like, vanilla does get a bad rap; people call it “boring” or unimaginative. But when you have the real stuff you realize that it’s this incredibly complex, nuanced, subtle fascinating flavor. We should give vanilla more respect.

I like this ice cream as well! I’ve only tried the chocolate one, which is better than plain chocolate ones I’ve had before, and my brother swears by the brown sugar flavor.

Also, I had Mexican coke for the first time this weekend, and it’s very different but very good. I can see how anyone used to this would be unable to drink the kind that’s sold in the U.S.
