Yes, Hellmann’s has frozen over. Mayonnaise ice cream is here.

Well...if it's Hellman's mayo ice cream...I'd give it a try. I'll eat no other mayonnaise.

Same with gin. There is no other but Bombay. All others are lacking and not worth the money.

Well, as a scientist, I tried it . . . once.

But my all-time favorite was maple walnut ice cream, made by the local Elmhurst Dairy operation in Hornell, New York (titled The Maple City), back in the day.

The basis was vanilla ice cream flavored with--you guessed it--maple syrup, with a dose of big walnut meat fragments throughout, at least one or two in every spoonful.

Elmhurst, which delivered milk door-to-door for decades, was overcome by the milk in cheaper waxed-paper cartons (yuck) found in the grocery chains that replaced all the mom-and-pop stores, and of course, with them went their nonpareiled ice cream product from the scene.

But I had gone from that little Southern Tier town long before. After finishing the engineering degree, the my little family and I headed out for the big city, where the jobs are, but the maple walnut ice cream was not.

I think that flavor can still be found in the Wegmans groceries in New York State, but that is far from me now. Doubtless, one could simulate it quite easily now by combining the ingredients when serving it at home, eh?

Long ago, and far, far away . . .

Maple walnut ice cream?? You radical extremist, you! Lol!

Can't tell you how much I miss those normal, wholesome(more or less), simple times.
