Re: [Mid] Change of topic: July is National Ice Cream Month!

To quote Alton Brown:

"Imagine a flower. A climbing orchid, to be exact. The one of some
20,000 varieties that produces something edible. Now imagine that its
blooms must be pollinated either by hand, or a small variety of
Mexican bee, and that each bloom only opens for one day a year. Now
imagine the fruit of this orchid - a pod - being picked, and cured,
sitting in the sun all day, sweating under blankets all night, until
it is shrunken, and shriveled and develops a heady, exotic perfume and
flavor.

Now, imagine that this fruit's name is synonymous with dull, boring,
and ordinary."

Hardly.
