  • Vanilla doesn't always have to mean "boring." Unfortunately, for some of these ice cream brands, it still does.

    Vanilla Ice Cream is how you separate the greats from the bads.
    When you have simple ingredients like vanilla, it must be high-quality, and mixed properly, else it don't taste great. So really, it ain't boring... because it's how you find out which company can actually make ice cream!

      Where I live, the basic vanilla ice cream is usually bland, if you don't buy a really expensive tub. When I was a kid, the local store had 3L tubs of vanilla or trio (three separate parts of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate in same tub) from Euroshopper-brand (usually known for really low prices and low quality), but the vanilla was wayyyy better than the domestically produced "high end" vanilla ice cream. The price is not always a guarantee of quality. Most of the viewers know Euroshopper from Finnish energy drink-memes : D

    Just remember, before we had Vanilla in any commercially viable sense, we frequently used Rose Water to flavor things. Imagine sampling 25 pints of Rose water ice creams. Vanilla revolutionized desserts not that long ago, and it's one of the most complex flavor compounds there is, yet somehow it is used to describe something as boring.

    • @BrainletReviews
      @BrainletReviews Před 5 dny +6

      It's described as boring because it's in tons of desserts, and it's expensive so they tend to skimp on it. It's like comparing regular Hershey's chocolate to a super fancy 90% cacao chocolate that costs $20 per bar.

    For those wondering "No Blue Bell", the company only distributes to 23 states. New York (Where babish lives) does NOT stock it all year round, and when they do they dont get much, it sells quickly. It is likely that it simply wasnt time to stock it where he lives or that it is sold out.

    "Imagine a flower: A climbing orchid, to be exact; the one of some twenty thousand varieties that produces something edible. Now imagine that its blooms must be pollinated either by hand or a small variety of Mexican bee, and that each bloom only opens for one day a year. Now imagine the fruit of this orchid, a pod, being picked and cured, sitting in the sun all day, sweating under blankets all night for months until, shrunken and shriveled, it develops a heady, exotic perfume and flavor. Now imagine that this fruit's name is synonymous with dull, boring, and ordinary. How vanilla got this bad rap I for one will never know."

    Vanilla is literally something that cannot exist without human intervention. It is the seed pod of an incredibly temperamental orchid plant, and every single flower must be pollinated BY HAND.

    Vanilla is among the most exotic and complex spices in the world. The fact that it has come to be equated with 'boring' and 'mediocre' boggles the mind. Also the presence of flecks of vanilla is usually not a sign of actual quality and it almost always is just used vanilla pods that have been ground up rather than actual vanilla seeds from inside the pod.

    I don’t get vanilla ice cream but I kind of see where he’s coming from with the Haagen-Dazs. Haagen-Dazs doesn’t use any stabilizers or artificial ingredients so the real beauty is in the continued eating. As it softens it gets sweeter and creamier and then will refreeze without turning into daggers. Ice cream is unfortunately hard to judge with a single sampling. Alright, I’m done simping for Haagen-Dazs.
