Tried TFA-VBIC as a single flavor at 4%, mixed 6 weeks ago. It has a bit of peppery taste, any vanilla ice cream recommendations?
This what I've heard: (TFA) and (LB) ice creams are very popular BUT some people get the "peppery" taste (seems to be like cilantro... some like it, some taste "soap") For those that want to avoid the peppery taste, go with (SSA) and (WF)

I do not get pepper from LB. I do get it from Cap and TFA

    The two SSA’s make a great ice cream.

    That's Ho-Hos. I never understood the names "Ding-dong" and Ho-Ho"... always seemed backwards to me (think male/female ;) )
    I haven’t bought those things in ages. Never remember the dang names.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Trying a chocolate PB Ice Cream Cone I’m not real crazy about. I used 2% WF Crispy Wafer for the cone. The Wafer didn’t take over the mix but definitely needs to be lighter. I used the Wafer at 2% in several other mixes just fine. My thinking is the Ice Cream is a lighter flavor that can easily be run over by it’s cone or “base”. Another remix to do.

    I agree about the ssa ice cream. The raspberry I added to mine kind of drowned out the ice cream. I mixed a new sample of the blueberry but increased the ice cream percentages this time and lowered the blueberry. I’ll try to test it this weekend.

    My grandfather had a saying,
    " Always listen when someone speaks, even the corner bum knows something you don't."
    That's really great.
    In the world of Buddhism, there is an old saying which goes something like: there isn't anyone you can't learn something from.
    Quite profound I think. But, of course, it requires you to not have any biases against bums and deplorables, to have an open mind, and ears always open.

    I’ll be interested in how that works out.

    I had to set up an Ether rta with Lemon Tart instead of the broken kayfun.
    In the taste experience, you see what you pay for, but, it gets to do the job for a few weeks.

    I'm in a great mood, Fran, that with Øsa meant everything to me.
    Tonight my first batches are mixed with Stixx Mixx.
    I have set aside a little Black Note so that I have a basis for comparison.
    Good plan. Which Black Note?
    I'm looking forward to your conclusions, liking both Stixx and Black Note.

    Off topic: at 74 I found out I still like Yoo-Hoos.
    That's funny about the Yoo Hoo. I haven't thought about it for years. My childhood baseball favorite, Yogi Berra, did adverts for it.
    Just looking it up, sadly, it contains more high fructose corn syrup than anything other than water.
    So, I'll enjoy it vicariously.

    When was the last time you had a Twinkie? I think I haven’t since I was a kid.
    And, unless I'm confusing them with others, the beauty of Twinkies is that they will never spoil. The Twinkies you hoarded somewhere when you were a kid will still be as good (or you pick your own adjective) today as X years ago. Is that great or what? Wish I'd hoarded a couple just to confirm this.
    Maybe no steeping required?

    Perfect timing. I was just going to say I tried (SSA) ice cream and (SSA) raspberry syrup (first IC and first rasp I have ever tried) I really like it but same thing... the rasp overpowered the IC. (SSA) vanilla IC was out of stock so I then added some vanilla to my tank (a bit too much... it muted the rasp) Next, I'm going to try rasp with cake and bavarian cream (and then add some chocolate to that)

    I haven't had twinkie, ding dong or hoho in years but I heard at the county fair they have deep fried twinkies... I'll pass. Some guy did this experiment where he saved one at room temp for years and it never spoiled... that's kinda scary.
