December 29, 2009: Savoury Sundaes

In anticipatory online discussions, ane joke led to roughly other in addition to I started wildly promising savoury icecream. I retrieve I was concerned that sugariness icecream would survive a molten mess past times the fourth dimension everybody was gear upwards for dessert but I needn't accept worried - these 2 iced boxes froze difficult in addition to I snapped ane spoon handgrip in addition to bent roughly other on failed scooping, piece everybody ate their fill upwards of the other savouries, earlier this dish was ready.

The start savoury icecream I made was e'er going to survive avocado. Several years earlier I began this weblog I made a few controversial batches of gently sugariness avocado icecream, studded alongside roasted hazelnuts. That recipe, from Gail Damerow's Ice Cream! The Whole Scoop, had an intriguing variation involving grated onion in addition to yoghurt alongside a telephone telephone to "pass the tortilla chips"! Curiously it didn't straight me to trim the quantity of sugar, but I decided to musical note it downward from 2/3 to 1/4 cup. My gustatory modality testing confirmed that roughly sweetener did amend the overall flavour, so I'd suggest against omitting it completely. Since it was a vegan gathering, I tried Nestle Carnation soy creamy cooking milk inward house of dairy milk in addition to cream. I retrieve this production is intended every bit a straight replacement for evaporated milk in addition to it for sure had the correct look. I constitute its soy flavor really intense, though, so I'd only purpose it for dishes alongside other potent masking flavours.

For my 2nd savoury flavour, I idea something tomato-based would survive complementary in addition to I savage upon a suitable looking sorbet inward NPR's archives. I didn't accept access to fresh tomatoes beyond tasteless supermarket ones, so streamlined the procedure alongside roughly canned range instead. I hoped a blended fresh chilli powerfulness liven things upwards but didn't genuinely honour it at all inward the frozen sorbet. Some balsamic vinegar adds a prissy depth of flavour, though.

My savoury sundaes had a varied reception. Some people were curious in addition to non exclusively won over; others declined to attempt these at all. H5N1 few people nominated their favourite of the 2 flavours (I retrieve the love apple tree sorbet was the to a greater extent than popular). I suspect that I genuinely enjoyed these to a greater extent than than anyone! Expecting the onion pulverization in addition to chilli that distinguish these from dessert, I approached them every bit chilled guacamole in addition to salsa dips in addition to liked them around inward combination alongside the corn chips. Even so, I'd recommend eating them inward modest serves... that is, if y'all dare to consume them at all!
