wow, you like green tea ice-cream?? That's rare! I used to work at Baskin-Robins and none of our non-asian customers liked green tea. They just didn't like the taste!
courageous! remind me the last time i had greek.....eek, all i can say is i was fortunate the hospital was only 2 blocks away from my office!
Green tea is a favorite of Asian BORN and RAISED in Asia. If you were raised in the states like your Asian Baskin-Robbins customers most likely were, Lynn, you would probably not have a liking for green tea ice cream. Sagitta- I stand corrected- the concept of green tea ice cream is a totally EAST Asian thing. Have you ever seen green tea ice cream in India? (Come to think of it, I never saw ANYONE eating ice cream when I was in India...)
I was raised in Tanzania, East Africa, and I have seen quite a few people in Pune, Mahastra and other states eat ice cream. They had a green ice cream...I forget what flavor is was...that people did like...but not green tea.
Lime sherbet, maybe? BTW, Sagitta- what is the name of that local homemade hooch that Goa is famous for? They were making cocktails out of it when I was there and they named them "Goan Crazy"...
Nope..not lime sherbert...stil thinking Two drinks actually caju- liquer made from cashews, good for digestion feni - alcohol made from coconuts Probably caju is my guess since I see that being hawked and advertised as the famous Goan drink.
The name had a cute sound- maybe it was feni...I never tried it. Drank a lot of Kingfisher Beer though.
I think it might be an acquired taste. I didn't care for it much when I first tried it. Same with miso, takuan(yellow Japanese pickles) or fermented soybeans...
Another famous Belgian chocolatier, despite the Greek name (the founder was of Greek origin I think). I've never tried their chocolate... will try when I get a chance .
