So this week kind of snuck up on me and before I knew it, it was Friday again. I again went to the same store, same time with the same routine. But the only difference was the flavor of ice cream had already been chosen. A few days ago I got a comment on Facebook from my cousin Michelle in Rhode Island; “So I tried the "Karamel Sutra" yesterday....I couldnt wait for you to get to it anymore! Let's just say that I would leave Scott Lewis & marry it if I could....SOOO GOOD!!!! :)”
After reading this post I had one BIG concern…Her current husband Scott, the one she would leave for Karamel Sutra, told me while I was there in June that if Michelle didn’t have her regular freak out that she had around the holidays for the BBQ she had in my honor, he would fly me out for all the holidays. Well I must have had some good karma, because she was calm, collective and didn’t burn the house down. And me spiking her drink with some Jack probably didn’t hurt either. So thank God she can’t leave Scott for this ice cream, because I will be there for Thanksgiving when he buys my ticket. And even though Facebook had technical difficulties when I checked into the Ben & Jerry’s plant for our tour, and some how it didn’t include him in the check in, he still likes me.
Karamel Sutra Verdict:
To be honest, I had high hopes for this flavor. When I first opened the carton, which I had to pry apart because of the caramel, it looked promising. I first looked at it and thought out loud to my friend Veronica, where do I start? It was split down the middle, chocolate on one side, vanilla on the other with a funnel of caramel shot right down the middle. It was the perfect storm of chocolate, vanilla and caramel…well the perfect storms sometimes are not so perfect with a closer inspection. It’s hard to explain how I felt about this flavor. It was like a threesome that looked great from the outskirts, but when you put them all in the sack together, they just didn’t know how to function with one another. The chocolate over powered the vanilla, with is flavor and the surprise of chocolate chunks in the middle. I love chocolate, but it was OVER KILL. Here I go only taking about the chocolate and vanilla I nearly forgot about the caramel. Easiest way to explain the caramel, some are just meant to have threesomes and caramel is one of them with this combination. I am sorry caramel, but you were totally out of place.
Thankfully Michelle can pick a better husband then ice cream flavor. See you guys in November. I will send you my mailing address so you can have the airline ticket sent directly to me.
