Flavor Graveyard

Even the best Ben & Jerry’s flavors eventually melt away. Here we lay our dearly de-pinted to rest so we can mourn their chunks and swirls and keep their sweet memories alive.

Rich milk chocolate cashew Brazil-nut butter ice cream with macadamia nuts covered in white & dark fudge & milk chocolatey swirl.

Mac got aloha'ed off the aisle.

Vanilla ice cream with strawberries and fudge covered shortbread

A flavour so smashing -
& yet it fouled out:
Strawberries & shortbread -
a love match devout
But sadly it missed
all the fame it deserved,
A bit too much English
put into the serve.

Cool Britannia tombstone
