I LOVE that recipe! It's one of my favorites.

I find it massively wholesome how Max's face starts to show this expression of pure joy everytime he makes something he really enjoys. Like he has just found a piece of treasure.

Many archivists actually recommend that you don't wear gloves when handling fragile books/paper objects! They tend to decrease dexterity and make it harder to grasp onto the pages, which can lead to tearing! Just make sure your hands are clean and you haven't recently used any lotions!

I worked at a restaurant that served parmesan ice cream with a fudge brownie. It was INCREDIBLE.

"Not in one sitting."
Now, Max. We love you. You don't need to lie to us. ❤

When you ask for cheesecake ice cream and your friend gets confused

[soren]

When you described the parmesan as being more of a vague "savory flavor" my mind immediately jumped to the fact that actual Parmigiano has a whole lotta free glutamates, which when bound to the salt in the cheese form msg. So this is basically just umami ice cream.

Years ago, my office hired an Italian gelato expert to make us gelato every day for a week. We got one (1) little scoop every day at lunch. He made parmesan gelato, among the other flavors. (chocolate hazelnut that was nothing like nutella...) The parm was so good, it brought me to tears the first time I tasted it. Half the office hated it. Which meant on parmesan gelato days, I got to take some home... He used a salty parm, so the salt and the sweet and the cream and the cold -- then the texture that was even richer than normal gelato, and the bright complexity of the parm in the back of the nose when the bite melts on the tongue...

This actually answers a question I've been strugling to find an aswer too for years: In the move Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) they kidnap Napoleon and bring him to an ice cream parlor and he recognizes the stuff, even exclaiming "ah, du glace!" I was always wondering if he would've even know what ice cream was. Turns out he would, and also know it by that name. Cool stuff.

Max“For obvious reasons, spoons were not leant.”
Me: “Ah yes, germs and such.”
Max: “They scooped out the ice cream with their tongues and fingers and then returned to cup to have another scoop put in for the next customer.”
Me: 👁👄👁

I like how while a lot of ancient physicians and what not were claiming iced foods could kill you, evidently a lot of people thought this was obviously bollocks and kept right on eating them.

For the first few minutes, I was so confused why cheese ice cream was associated with "weird ice cream flavors" because I grew up loving them. I thought they were internationally common since cheese and ice cream are separately loved food products worldwide, so it was a surprise to know that the combination was not as common as I thought. Here in the Philippines, they're some of my favorite flavors of ice cream.

Made this with a pear crumble last night. My goodness. I've always loved a fruit and cheese plate for dessert and this really hit the spot

[ronaldfernandez]

We’ve had queso ice cream for as long i could remember here in the Philippines sold by ambulant vendors in a handsome and colorful cart with 2 big wheels. 3 flavors are usually offered: mango, ube and cheese!

Mrs Nancy Johnson had to sell her patent to make ends meet. The fella who bought it changed the design to where the container revolved around the paddle -- it didn't do very well, so he sold it to a new guy who did some research and changed it back to paddle turning and a few improvements.
I'm a proud owner of one of those. I believe one of her recipes was, Lemon Glacè.

[reeselee]

We've had queso sorbetes in the Philippines since forever, so I never thought this was a weird flavor until I saw foreigners balking at the idea of cheese flavored ice cream. But it just makes sense to me. They're all dairy products anyway - a combination of sweet and salty. So I just know this parmesan ice cream would taste phenomenal!

[aidanfarnan]

Can we all just thank José for the "o_0" subtitle when he tries the ice-cream?

[mijadane]

Avocado ice cream is weird? Here in Indonesia we snack on ice creams made of coconut milk, avocados, mung beans, black sticky rice, jackfruits, durians, etc. You should try it, Max. It's called es puter or es lilin.

[MagicianFairy]

The ditto disguised as a Vanillite was a perfect touch.

[thehangmansdaughter]

In New Zealand we have a flavour of ice-cream called Hokey Pokey. It's vanilla with small pieces of honeycomb candy mixed in. It's been my favourite since childhood.
