Image via WikipediaI love ice cream. It has always been a weakness of mine. It is nothing for me to polish off an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting. I love all kinds of ice cream and just about any flavor. It's all good. I think my favorite flavor of ice cream is Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby. Of course, Baskin & Robbins has another of my all time favorite flavors in their Baseball Nut ice cream.I love ice cream so much that one year my wife and my son gave me the Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Cookbook and an ice cream maker. Over the years, that machine has gotten a good bit of use. Sometimes I would use the recipes in the cookbook and other times I adjusted the base recipe with some of my own creations. Once I made Mango ice cream with fresh mangoes and another time a coffee based ice cream with chocolate covered almonds.
As adventurous as I would get in my ice cream sampling and creations, I also have to admit that for the most part I am not a very adventurous eater. My wife complains that I need to be more willing to try different types of foods. I get a little squeamish at the thought of eating certain foods. I will not go into a lot of the details of what those things are. I am so squeamish that sometimes the thought of eating certain foods would make me gag.
As is my custom, during my commute yesterday I was listing to talk radio on 630WMAL here in the DC area. During one of the news breaks between segments of the show I was listening they alluded to the story of a shop in London that was selling an ice cream made with human breast milk. The concoction is being sold under the flavor "Lady Gaga." I haven't fully decided how I feel about this, but I am leaning towards the squeamish side.
It is not that I am squeamish about the idea of human breast milk per se. After all, I was breast fed as a baby. However, breast milk is meant for babies. There is something a tad unsavory in the idea of a woman having her breast milk harvested for some purpose other than the feed a baby. If the thought of an ice cream isn't enough to turn you off from trying "Lady Gaga," the price might be. It is being sold at the premium price of approximately $23 per scoop. That is a lot of Chubby Hubby.
Well, I am squeamish about human breast milk, and my gag-reflex shifted into overdrive when I read the title to this piece. Thankfully, the keyboard and monitor were missed. I still have the floor to clean up, thank you very much.
