Do You Support Same-Sex Ice Cream?

Ben & Jerry's has given chubby hubbies its blessing to marry each other.

The Burlington-based ice cream maker is celebrating Vermont's move to legalize gay marriage by rebranding its popular "Chubby Hubby" as "Hubby Hubby" for the next month.

"Now more than ever, Vermont is for lovers ... and for lovers of marriage equality," proclaims product literature.

Tutti Frutti Ice Cream

Serves: 8 to 10

Ingredients

2 egg whites
120g vanilla-flavoured white caster sugar
300ml double cream
2 tablespoons kirsch
1 tablespoon Amaretto di Saronno
60g natural glacé cherries, sliced
60g ready-to-eat dried apricots, diced
30g candied angelica, slivered
30g candied pineapple, sliced
30g candied or preserved ginger, slivered
30g seedless raisins, chopped
60g toasted almonds, slivered
30g pistachios, roughly chopped

Method

1. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fairly dry. Sprinkle over half the sugar and whisk again, then fold in the remaining sugar.

   method

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream until it is starting to thicken. Add the kirsch and Amaretto and continue to whisk until thick but still glossy. Gently fold the egg-white mixture into the cream, then carefully fold in all the chopped fruits and nuts.

   Spoon the mixture into a lidded plastic bowl or container, cover tightly, and freeze for 4-6 hours or until fairly firm, or churn in an ice cream maker for 45 minutes. Serve the ice cream with small wafers or spooned into one large or several small brandy-snap baskets.

Is it me, or do the graphics on the lower right suggest... fudge-laden tunnels?

The sexists at Ben and Jerrys ignore Womyn-Womyn "marriages." What, they couldn't have added some Georgia O'Keefe paintings?

Never have bought Ben&Jerry's.

Won't!

Ever!

Disgusting cover!

I have never had Ben and Jerry’s (Dad told me many years ago that they were “hippies”).

I’ll stick with BlueBell, thanks. :)

Now let me get my popcorn before everyone starts in with the hilarious name suggestions for other Ben and Jerry’s products...

[HereInTheHeartland]

Buy Häagen-Dazs instead, for a premium ice cream. They don't support loony, left wing politics.

Or better yet; make your own with no ice or salt:

$40 and it works great.

Generally probably a bad idea to alienate half of your customer base, or any percentage, for that matter.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Ick.
Just read the label, and it lists fudge twice.

[jimfree]

There are other choices besides BJ ice cream.

I have never had Ben and Jerry’s

Same goes here.

[AirForceMom]

Looks like one of the “grooms” has an acorn hat on.

[Randy Larsen]

I’m a Thrifty’s cream guy!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

the morons at Bendover and Do Jerry should have named the ice cream, “Cock full of Nuts”

[Randy Larsen]

Thrifty’s Ice Cream!

[Francis McClobber]

You mean it’s packing fudge?

[Westlander]

To me, it looks like cross sections of sigmoid. mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Each time you go to the grocery store, grab 4 or 5 and put them in your cart.

Then go to other side of the store and "change your mind", leaving them on the shelf to melt.

The end result will be the grocers realizing that the public really doesn't want to see homos on their ice cream cartons.
