my thoughts on neapolitan ice cream
so i was up at 11 last night and i really wanted some ice cream. i opened the freezer only to find not an ordinary ice cream like rocky road, vanillia or chocolate chip, but neapolitan. i looked at it and saw that it was just strawberry chocolate and vanilla thrown together. what the heck!? this made no sense i mean those things are all good individually but you cant just randomly throw stuff together and expect it to taste good can you. the only exception i can think to that is juice where there all just sugar and fruit so it doesnt really matter. but even that has its limits as orange juice and apple juice do not go together at all. i had little hope that this neapolitan ice cream would end my ice cream fix but it being all that was available i took a bowlful and sat down on the couch. i dipped my spoon into the creamy mass and to my surprise i found the texture to be near perfect and the taste well........weird i mean in general it was just vanilla chocolate and strawberry but the way they were all thrown together kinda clashed in my mouth. now granted depending on the amounts this clash changed from a smooth jazz chord to complete disharmony. overall i guess i did like the ice cream. the only thing i have to work on is how much is too much of each of the flavors and i have yet to just stir it all together and eat it. well now i have something to do today. in case you were wondering what i was talking about this is what wikipedia has to say about neapolitian ice cream:
Neapolitan is a kind of ice cream, or more precisely, of ice cream packaging. The box (or tub, bar, etc.) is divided into three flavors, usually strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. Other combinations are possible, such as banana/vanilla/chocolate or caramel/vanilla/chocolate). Neapolitan is listed as the third or fifth favorite ice cream flavor in the United States. Neil Armstrong ate some in space in July 1969.
Neapolitan ice cream is so called because it is a variant on spumoni, a three-flavoured (usually cherry, chocolate, and pistachio) ice cream originally made in Naples. Spumoni was introduced to the United States in the 1890s. [1]
It is often misread as Napolean ice cream.

Schleef, I know few others that could and/or would write 300 words about a new ice cream flavor. I was especially impressed by you mixing in a little bit of music theory. The Lord has blessed you with an amazing brain. Keep it up.
Oh yeah....and continue your opposition to the decriminalization of marijuana.
