So..... round one of this ice cream was taken to a dinner party a while back......I was informed it tasted like chicken. It didn't taste like chicken, just the glaze on a chicken. There is a difference. Haha. Yes, the blend of spices includes many of those found in a sesame ginger chicken recipe.........so we'll call version one a fail and move on from that. After halving the spices, removing the garlic, it now is no longer followed by the phrase "tastes like chicken" just "mmmm."
And speaking of mmmmmmm...I'll be spending my weekend gearing up for the Arizona trip on Wednesday! Jet skis, rock climbing jeep, clay pigeon shooting, RAWHIDE!, and most importantly: GREAT Mexican food! I'm sorry DC. I love you, but really, have you been to Mexico? Not Cancun! For shame! Actual Mexico. No? Lauriol Plaza has some good food....but it's about as Mexican as Cancun. You want to make some real money on Mexican food? Drive down to Puerto Penasco, make your way over to Cholla Bay, find a stand called Mr. Fish Taco. Take care of all the legalities and make it work. You will not regret it. I currently regret not being there. Right. This. Minute.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! And please don't forget to please vote for Cherry Tea Cakes (I mean really, what other food blogger could make ice cream that DOESN'T taste like chicken!) in the Express Night Out's Best of 2010 DC Food Blogs contest! Look under people and places! I am the underdog, and realize I stand no chance, but it's fun for a moment to pretend I do! :)

Very interesting recipe~ Wish I had an icecream maker
ReplyDeleteCuisinart actually makes a really good inexpensive model. I bought their mid-grade maker last December for less than $70. Just sayin' it might be my best kitchen purchase ever.
ReplyDeleteInteresting combo of flavors in an icecream. Love it!
ReplyDeleteReally the ice-cream machine was that cheap? I know what to ask to my husband for Xmas then!
i normally hate hocking items but this is the base model, it gets the best reviews of any low-grade model. it's a great little machine.

that link even has it on sale ten dollars off.
i bought the 30bc, one step up, from a store with a coupon. i have loved that machine so much!!!
Like everyone else said.. this sounds interesting! Reminds me of all the crazy ice cream flavors I saw while visiting Japan a couple years ago! I hope you have a good weekend as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting flavor combination! I love my ice cream maker and have used it a LOT this summer. Best investment ever :o) Have fun in AZ, I live here and the weather has finally cooled down a bit which makes it lovely :o)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a perfect dessert for the Indian food that I'm planning on making for dinner tonight. Do you deliver? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou actually had an ice cream that had garlic in it? Looking at the ingredients, it does sound a lot like one of my chicken marinades. Just needs some lime. Honestly, I'd probably love this and I DO have an ice cream maker.
ReplyDeleteI really really really enjoy ginger ice cream. I remember first seeing ginger ice cream and thinking it might be strange, but it is so delicious!
ReplyDeleteLol tastes like chicken! Love it. I don't think that's a fail at all. People purposefully try to get ice cream taste like bacon.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
This is an interesting ice cream in ginger. bet I can even eat this in winter :) Thanks very much for sharing. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis ice cream sounds so cool! I love the flavor combination.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I gave ya a vote! :)
I love crazy ice cream combinations. This sounds delicious! Have fun in Arizona :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking ice cream. Definitely different, but different is good.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! I've not had good luck shooting ice cream, but you totally captured it. Love the flavor combos too!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I need an ice cream maker :(
