Although I voted for chocolate and vanilla, I would never actually buy Neapolitan, and if I were someplace where it was offered as a refreshment, I would politely decline. The chocolate and vanilla portions were hopelessly contaminated before they even made it to the retailer just by virtue of being in the same container with that vile pink substance. Don’t get me wrong. I love strawberries. But that stuff bears absolutely no resemblance–not in flavor, not in appearance. I don’t know why labeling it as strawberry isn’t considered false advertising.
Buying Neapolitan ice cream always seemed like someone was trying to make everybody happy and not succeeding in making anybody happy.
I love strawberries but that artificial crappy strawberry flavor in Neapolitan tastes like bad perfume in a frozen form.
I’d eat the chocolate and strawberry first (assuming it’s a good ice cream with real strawberries). Save the vanilla for last, and load it up with toppings. Like chocolate syrup and strawberries.
Yes! It turns the most distressingly gross non-food color when you mix it all up, and doesn’t taste like anything in nature, but it’s the only way to eat it.
Veeeeery interesting. Now tell me about your mother.
My preference, in order, is vanilla, chocolate, and then somewhere way down, strawberry. Strawberry ice cream just never did it for me, though I love good fresh strawberries. I’d actually prefer a bowl of strawberries or a hot filling of strawberries and sugar with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to strawberry ice cream.
Oddly enough, of the combinations, it’s chocolate and strawberry I like the best.
One word: Spumoni.
All of them when I ate Neapolitan, which I haven’t in quite a few years since I realized that they were pretty low-quality versions of the flavours, compared to getting a carton of straight-up chocolate, vanilla or strawberry.
